I am, but I was there more than an hour earlier.
It takes me about forty five minutes to get to
the diner from home. But I got this email from

earlier before to accept the shipment of of the hot juice.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, ah, some yes, now we're cooking.

your your reps an hour prior to uh normal open time,
I think it was an hour or two.
Speaker 3: Do you remember their names?
Speaker 1: No, one stayed in the truck while the other to
move the boxes in front. That stuck talking with this
guy that kept going on about the great sales opportunity
of of this hawk Choose. And he was making his
sound like you want some sort of Goose card salesman lottery.
What do you mean like our sales were somehow tied
up in the financial bullshit with Brancorp and and we
were blamed for it, and and it was it was
still convoluted, honestly that he went on and on about
our health, the health benefits of this this fucking drink,
and then and then they were gone. I I go.
Speaker 3: And would you be able to describe these individuals or
recognize them if you saw them again? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous, honestly.
Speaker 3: In a picture or in person perhaps.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. It was dark and can I
and I pulled the double chefs that night before, I
don't It was also a last minute.
Speaker 3: Anything else that joked your memory from this video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah it was. It was great
seeing everyone again, even if it isn't this grainy foot echin.
It was sort of the last normal morning we ever had.
Speaker 8: Excellent, Misty, you're doing wonderful. You're doing wonderful. All this
is a great help. Could you perhaps talk to me
about uh sun Vy Thompson.
Speaker 1: Waitress number one. Her name was Sandy Thomson had a
backstory fill with twists and turns that shaped her into
the person that she is today or was. She had long,
flowing chestnut hair that framed her face, and her radiant
smile had the power to brighten even the gloomiest of days.
Beneath her cheerful exterior, she carried the weight of our
recent breakup that lingered in her heart. Sammy Thompson had
always been a hopeless romantic, someone who believed in the
power of love, much like Jerry Lewis and the News
and the idea over a happily. Ever After, she had
fallen over heels for a charismatic musician named Adam whose
melodies had woven their way into her soul. They were
inseparable for a while. He was also a free loading
son of a bitch, always made the same joke Water's
free right, ha ha ha, and still cut a full
coarse meal thanks to Sanby, who would pay with her tips.
The man was a cunt. Their lives entwined in a
whirlwind of passion and shared dreams and pure bullshit. Honestly. However,
as time passed, the cracks in the relationship started to show,
much like we all have seen firsthand, and she would
choose not to see their one's harmonious melody turn into
a discordant tune filled with arguments and misunderstandings. Zambi's heart
ached as the person she had ambition spending her life
with seemed to slip away and turn into this massive
cunt we've all seen.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Thomas didn't warm me about this. No, I
was looking for something like what her background was, who
was she affiliated with like sho she worked with before
any other concerns and radical thoughts, things like that.
Speaker 1: One unfaithful night after yet another heated argument that decided
to enter tumultuous relationship.
Speaker 6: Yep, I kind of figure this was going to happen.
When the slow piano, I started think all your guts
were going, and you started. I don't believe in such fallacies,
so to stare off into the distance. So I'm just
gonna thank your deuty. So I was going to sit down.
Speaker 1: It was a mutual decision, so she said. But that
didn't make it any easier on poor Samby. I carry on,
She found herself dwelling when the memories that they created together.
Replying these happy moments and questioning what went wrong hot
loud in front of customers, it was not a good look.
Working at the diner provider her much needed distraction. The
bustling atmosphere, the interactions with the customers when she wasn't
wallowing and self pity allow her to momentarily escape her
thoughts and focus on bringing joy to others. However, deep down,
she still carried that lingering pain of her failed romance.
In the quiet moments when the diner grew quieter and
the customers dispersed, Samby's mind would drift back to the
memories she shared with Adam. She wondered if she would
ever find someone who could fill that void he left behind.
She questioned her own worth and whether she deserved to
be loved at all. But despite her headache and her heartache.
I didn't mean to say headache A scrapped up from
the record. Samby was determined to find her happiness.
Speaker 6: And I just just checking in here real quickly. This
is this is the same Samby Thompson that put in
her application for the job. I need a job so
I can buy quote shiny things.
Speaker 5: This is the same.
Speaker 6: This is you still talking about her?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 6: It's not about somebody else projecting maybe, No, this is
still about her. Okay, I'll sit down. I'll sit down,
Gonna half regret bringing in the grand piano, but I
also loving it, so you continue.
Speaker 1: She knew that the healing would take time, and she
was willing to give herself a space to grow and
rediscover who she was outside of that relationship. Her cheerful
demeanor and warm smile were a testament to her resilience,
and as she continued to serve customers with unwavering dedication,
even as her own heart mended slowly. Zomba's journey was
one of self discovery, finding strength and vulnerability, and learning
to love herself again, and as she navigated the ups
and downs of her life, the dinner would become not
only a place of work, but are also much needed
sanctuary where she could find solace and forge new beginnings
until ultimately discovering her own demise. This episode is made
