The Bunnies

As you know, I recently quit my job.  It feels like it was AGES ago.  I'm mostly bored out of my mind half the day.  I finish everything I have to do, then I end up just twiddling my thumbs the rest of the day wondering what's going on with my old employees (my bunnies, as in, "
Hey bunny, could you pass me the thermometers? Thx") .  

I miss them so much that it hurts.  Yeah, hurts.  They scared me (stealthy when entering my office), made me giggle (singing christmas songs in June), gave me a reason to get my heart racing and put on a smile.  I like to think that they miss me as much as I miss them... but it's probably not the case.

It kind of makes me wonder.  Was I really a good boss? Did they actually like me? Or were they just pretending to appease me?

I've kept my distance since my departure, only really showing up at odd hours, or when I know Sam is the only person there.  Mostly because I have a hard time not getting involved with them, but also because I know first hand how difficult it is for someone new to start enforcing rules when the old "boss" is lingering around.

I think my favorite thing about my bunnies is that I hired most of them on gut instinct.  And then learned to love them.  

Anyway.  Just throwing it out there.  I miss them.  They made me crazy, and I miss it.  I can't wait until I'm spending my days walking into Ike & Jane, looking around at all the craziness that someone didn't finish before locking up and then smiling to myself while rolling my eyes. 

Someone's gonna get a talkin' to!
