the feelings of words.

Today I realized the power of using very specific words. I was at work and I was already having a pretty stressful day because of all the tables that I had in quick succession. I was behind on getting everyone their drinks and I had just had another table sat, so I still had to take their order, and I was just really stressed. And then Ali comes up to me and says "uh, you know that they ordered a perogy pizza at 63 right?" (all the tables are numbered so we can keep track of them) And so I started freaking out cuz I had no idea what to do, should I get that taken off the bill? Should I order a new one? Should I just pretend that it was the kitchen's fault? (totally wasn't) So I mush have said something out loud because Ali just says "oh, just order a perogy. They're just munching on the pepperoni for now." And just because of the word munching I totally calmed down. Just right there. Oh, they're just munching, that's okay! No panic there! It was the weirdest thing ever, but I thought it was really cool and I'm going to be looking a lot more for words with a very interesting reaction. I'm kinda excited!
