Chapter 8: Saturday. I got to work 30 minutes early. I had a good sleep and was rather cheerful when I got into the StarBucks. There was a sign on the wall that read 'Employee of the year'. I snorted with laughter when I saw it. Employee of the year. I was the only one here who had worked for a full year. It was such a failure that it somehow made me even more joyful than I already was that morning! "Hello Oliver." I friendly voice said as I started to warm up the steamer. I whirled around and a saw a man standing at the counter, with a to-go cup in his hand. "Congrats man." He said cheerfully and clapped me on the back. I stumbled backwards and crashed into the bean grinder. Who was this creep? "How do you know my name?!?" I yelled to him. I was trying to be intimidating, but my voice came out frail and frightened. "Woa, chill out dude, I saw it on the employee of the year notice!" Then it sunk in. I WAS the only person to have been here a full year. I had won! "You have the same wild curled blond hair as in the photograph so I assumed it was you!" He said, as he took out a laptop and sat down. "And by the way, can I get a tall decaf?" I just stood there looking blankly at the sign. $50 dollar reward. $50!!! That was enough cash for a blanket AND a new set of clothes! I was in the best mood I'd ever had in years. "Yo, did you ugh... hear me, bro?" The customer asked over the theme song of his computer login. "Yeah yeah!" I said gayly as I stared to hum. I don't know what it was that I was humming, but it was happy, and I was happy so it was good enough!
