Adventures in Subtlety: Turkeyville - Post 3

Well, the past couple days have been very uneventful.  But that's okay.
1.  Yesterday (the 28th), I worked with really great people and work went by super duper fast.  And I worked a 12-9, so I'm shocked at how fast it went. 
2. I got to know Levi, a kitchen guy that was in the same orientation group as me last year, better, and he's not as douchey as he's always made himself seem, so that was really nice.
3. K, so Melanie is a woman who works in the kitchen/pie kitchen.  Best thing about her?  She's British.  And, whenever her husband comes in he orders turkey tacos and a diet coke and when he says it I kind of melt inside.  So that was beside the point; Chris didn't come in yesterday, but I just felt like that was necessary to mention.  (Sad note, she has two kids and they don't have the accents.  Sad day).  So anyway, Mel was super sweet and made all of us pizza because it was dead and she loves us.  So free pizza all around #turnup.
4.  Rachel came in to visit and get her last paycheck, so it was fun killing a half hour with her.
5. Today (the 29th), I worked with my manager and a middle aged woman who is very very very very loquacious.  So that was fun.
6.  Rachel came in for lunch since she works at the bank in Marshall that's the exit after Turkeyville and I put her tag on the screen as "sexy beast"..... As I was finishing up her order, though, my manager came in to ring her up.  Thankfully, she has a good sense of humor and thought I was funny.  Fun note, it went back to the kitchen and just showed up as "sexy", so I enjoyed that a lot.
7. Right after Rachel came, a giant group we had no idea was coming came through and said they were all getting a sandwhich, pie, drink and chips and it was all going on some woman's tab.  So that was fun.  Especially since I was alone at the time haha.
8. I got $3 in tips, so that was nice.
9.  The three worst employees were scheduled to work together tonight, so that oughtta be fun for them ha.
10.  ****Most important part**** As I was getting on the off ramp I saw a semi pulled off to the side.  The driver was standing next to it and looked as though he was about to enter the road.   Something in the center of the off ramp.  As I grow nearer, I see that it's a medium sized turtle.  I straddle it and look in my rear view mirror to see another car behind me. (Fun fact: as I was getting on the on ramp this morning I had to straddle that one as well.)  After that car passes the turtle I continue to look in the mirror and see the truck driver walking into the road with a stick.  He then precedes to push the turtle until it's safely off the road and into the grass.  A man pulled over his semi to save a turtle.  Faith in humanity = restored.  <3 :)
