There was a rainbow

I was driving to work, lots on my mind. I'm stuck behind a huge line of cars and in the front of the line is one car, going about 30 mph. No stress. I will make it to work on time. Don't worry Amanda.

Look up, there is a rainbow.

Pull into work, talk to Jess outside for a bit and go in. Wave hi to the day shifters walk into the back room. Standing there is Banana, BB (Big Boss), Helen, and the two book keepers. As soon as I walk through the door they all look and go silent. BB says. I need to talk to you. Every time she says that, its bad news. I want to cry. I cant handle anymore bad news, I cant take it anymore. I need to relieve my stress not add to it.

"Amanda, do you want to sit down?"
No stop playing games with me, you are going to give me a heart attack one of these days, just tell me!
"You know how I added you last week to make up for Mike being gone?"
(in my head - that's it, I'm fired, right here, right now) uumm yeah...
"Well I am keeping you, I am hiring you back full time, I am not letting you go"

I almost fell over, my legs gave out, my heart was out of my chest and I ran and hugged BB with all my might, and I fell into her, just crying. All of a sudden, all this weight, everything I had on my shoulders was now gone. I was done. I can live and breath again. I can sleep. I am FREE. Everyone was happy, and congratulating me, then Brawk and Mennis came in, and they all knew (everyone knew before me) and they all hugged me and it was just amazing! I couldn't stop smiling and crying. I was so relieved. SO RELIEVED.

I asked BB and Banana later if there were things that would make me a better employee, cause now is a chance to start fresh, I want to be the best I can be. before I put in 120% this time around, I want to put in even more. BB said that she never hears a bad thing about me. She gets praise about me all the time from all the shift managers, about how good I am with customers, and other employees, how nice I am, and such a hard worker. She appreciates me, they all do. For the first time I have worked anywhere, I feel like I am valued, and they don't take advantage of me. It feels so good. I am going to sleep so amazing tonight.

Look up, there is a rainbow.
