Morning coffee with you

Good morning my Dear Void. I am up early despite actually having a day off. Im sitting on my bed, mug of coffee by my side and thinking about how to write what I want to write about because they dont really tie together under any common subject.

Do you know Dear Void how you see the tech-takeover? Look at people in public transport. Ever time I take the tube Im one of the few in the carriage NOT staring at my smartphone. I realized it one day when I was taking the tube from London Bridge to Euston and all people were sitting and staring at those little beaming screens. All but me who was just looking around. Well, truth is I dont have a smartphone and I think its much more interesting to observe people.

I had quite an emotional day yesterday at work. I received loads of positive comments from customers and that made me really proud especially since the new french manager has been on my back ever since he started working. I know, his point is to make better and truth is, I dont have much experience but I am improving.
I also cried yesterday, not like bawling, but I got really emotional. One gentleman came to the restaurant inquiring about a wake. We talked a little and he said that his wife of over 50 years passed away with cancer. When he said these words and showed me the framed picture of his late wife who looked so lovely and smiley and I looked into his eyes and saw him tearing up in sheer pain. I couldnt help but tear up too. When he left, I squatted down behind the bar counter and cried a little.

BUT to end on a happier note, I discovered that when you buy the custard doughnuts that have been half-priced in the evenings and heat them up the next day in microwave, they are awesome!
And with that, I leave you my Dear Void. Theres an early meeting at work today!
