A “guest” (read: customer) at work left me his phone number scribbled on a napkin and that number was inside of a map of America that he drew with Michigan (his home state) taking up about half of the country’s land mass and the path of “adventure” drawn in a straight line from Texas to Michigan.

We share the same birthday, year and all, and were both wearing camo shirts. He works for a company that makes leather. I told him our jobs were connected too because he skins what I serve. He had a nice laugh and a sincere smile and I really don’t see that often.

His name is Tyler and I got a generally good vibe from the guy. He was nice and pretty quiet. His partner, who had already downed 3 tall XXs, was much more talkative. Both of them are on a drive back to Michigan now.

He probably didn’t notice the bajillion clumsy-girl bruises on various parts of my body before he gave me his number. So that’s good.

And now I’m wondering if he does that for all of his waitresses. Is that a common thing? I’ve never felt the least bit inclined to leave my number for anybody.

My job may be stressful and hectic, but holy moly, it is ALWAYS entertaining.
