Burrito People

I know I know two blogs that reference burritos? Is that really necessary? Well, the answer is yes it is. I have this strange need for people working in the service industry to not only like me, but absolutely freaking love me. I try to make jokes and I am as kind as possible to everyone working in retail, food service, etc. I don't know why I have this need, it isn't logical at all most people are content just to be polite; I just have this need to go above and beyond. It can actually get to the point where my friends get embarrassed when we go out to eat. But now I'm starting to blather, this all started because the man who works at the burrito station downstairs never seemed receptive to my usual tactics. I would smile, be beyond polite, ask him all sorts of questions but he never seemed to want to be my friend. Until today that is, I have officially won over who I like to call "Burrito Man." Now I don't mean to say he was ever impolite or less than courteous to me before, he just didn't seem to enjoy my jokes, like his co-workers did. But today after weeks of being way over the top and mortifying Jeanne at 8:30 Burrito man saw me and smiled and actually started a conversation with me! It may seem insignificant, but it's all about the little things in life.
