To My BBQ Girls (and guys),
As some of you know, I have gotten a job “across the street” with Keystone Insurance. I will start with the New Year, so here I go. I feel like I’m getting out of Shawshank and scared to death I can’t make it on the outside. I may be back.
I started working here during the most difficult time of my life. You have all held my hand, listened to me cry and complain, and even offered to hurt people for me. Then you watched as I stalked Tracy, fell ridiculously in love, and married him. I remember telling Cara I had a crush on him, and Andrea did my section 4 side work so I could go on my first date! You have all been the greatest sisters I could hope for.
I will NEVER be the same. You are all the strongest, most loyal, funniest, bad ass bunch of women I have ever had the honor to be with. I am better for knowing each of you. I will never work with more honest, hard working, absolutely pleasant people. You are all my picks for my imaginary bar fight team. Seriously, somebody would get hurt. I would not fight, of course, but I would run for help if you got in trouble.
Here are my tips you:
-Fluff the ice like you mean it. (Your Mother fluffs it like she means it!)
-White bag the set ups.
-Don’t overstock, damn it. (except for Brandy. Carry on)
-Don’t take shit from old men.
-Be nice to Dave.
-Be patient with the new girls. I still feel like a new girl.
-Get on your knees and thank God you work for Johnny Mason. If you don’t think it’s necessary, go work somewhere else. You’ll know what I mean.
-Continue to make the Century 21 lady give her phone number. For me.
-Enjoy all the inappropriate, dirty humor.
With All the Love in My Heart,
Karen Louque Miller

ReplyDeleteI truly feel the same. It's so crazy inside the walls of that little red building. All that I have been able to become is because of the Mason's and the loyal people there. I REAlLY do miss the people that I spent so much of my life with. I think what makes it easy to venture out is that family is family and he will be there for those who have been loyal to him.Your never really gone--you will still pop into the kitchen and refill your drink and have the new people look at you like you are CRAZY! You will be amazing and I am so very proud of you! I'm so glad that you got to experience some of my blessings that have come my way! Love you!
