I Enjoy People

Today at work we were Quite busy, steady, constantly moving, for a number of hours for dinner. When it finally broke, I was going to dip out quick for a cigarette, but my boss was already heading out to do the same and so I stopped to turn back around and he was like no, come take a break. So we were out there and he goes "You haven't been smoking as much" and I tell him because of the medication I take every week, I shouldn't really been smoking. He asks if it's a pill or something and I say no it's an injection, it's testosterone. That's why my voice sounds so stupid (It is breaking like a 13 year old, which I'm quite proud of, but when I'm calling to him for a bROiled hAddOk, it's a little embarrassing) and he says "It doesn't sound stupid". He looked very serious, and it's all I've been able to think about since coming home. Up until now I had felt we were pretty neutral. Neither of us talk much, and we haven't had an, I guess you could say 'intimate' moment before now, but now I truly do believe he appreciates my work as well as my company as I do him. Him checking to see if I'm smiling while he sings and laughing at his jokes has turned into me checking if he is checking. And he always does. He is so nice. He was telling me about all the animals he likes, which is anything but snakes. He really likes wolves, and is really into Native American stuff, he has a lot of bracelets that coincide with that, he said his apartment (above the restaurant) is decorated heavily the same way. I'm very glad and thankful we have reached the point of small-talk, it's less pressure at work now. I'm not working for just my boss, I'm working for someone who is becoming my friend. He really likes smoked paprika. It goes on all the seafood.
On Mondays it is just the two of us, and last Monday I was at the point of throwing up with nervousness. But now I sit here and think about it and I feel pretty content about the whole thing. I feel as though I really belong in a kitchen again, which is something I have yet to feel while at school, besides the little delivery place I work at there. Leaving this place at the end of August will be hard. I'm on the fence about coming back next summer, for I had planned on moving up to Rhode Island where my university is, almost 300 miles away. I've fully decided on doing my internship at Wegman's at home so I can still work there, starting after Thanksgiving. I just really enjoy it there, and I enjoy everyone there. It's a solid group, with only one and a half problematic waitresses, which is the best I've ever seen or heard of as far as not-fine-dining goes.
Thanks for sharing. It makes a big difference, to have a place to go every day where people truly recognize and appreciate you. Big difference.
@JackForrester I know, I spill here. It's terrible evidence. hahahah. But I love it. I'm a transfer from [i]ExperienceProject.com[/i] (now gone).

Yikes, yeah I was on there, many years ago. I was like 13! Lol those were the days. So many people on, it didn't matter a few were bands of assholes. Everyone had their crew. Still don't believe this is a good replacement, or that there even needed to be one. Too many creeps here man, I can't even read half the feed without getting tight! @lovelywarpedlemon
@JackForrester lol. Took me a while to weed out most of the unwanted posts, but now I've used up all my blocks. So. Whatever. I have to scroll a little more, now.
