A Balance of Harmonies: Uncomfortable Chatter

I am so tired…

I listen to an item about jobs being automated and my job never could. People will always want flowers. Yesterday I helped a woman who spoke broken English (her daughter spoke better, but spelled like twelve year old) express what she wanted to say on the complimentary cards. It boiled down to “that’s for choosing [business]”. She said that’s what she meant, but that in Spanish you use more words (she had something about quality of service, but I couldn’t figure out how to add it). She apologized all over for making me work, but dealing with people, helping people, is one of the parts of my job I love best.

Off to work.
