Letter #29 Raise your hand if your boss has ever picked you up for work...yeah I didn't think so.


Dear Jared,
You are the coolest boss in the world! I have never loved a job as much as I love working for Five Star BBQ.When I was looking for a job last September, I had lots of different interviews, but never found the right one. I thought it was a lost cause. I started expanding my search and sent a resume to your ad on craigslist. From my experiences, craigslist has never been a successful way to do anything. Too many scams and lame crap. That day I got a phone call from Joni saying that you wanted to meet with me that day. When I arrived I thought I was in the wrong place. I thought I had applied for a cashier job at a restaurant. There wasn't a restaurant at the address I was given. After finding you and having our interview, I couldn't read you. Usually I can tell if I made a good impression or not. That next Sunday you sent me a text saying, " Meg, we want you to join our team." I was super excited! Thank you for hiring me!
My first day I spent 4 hours setting up the cash register. Programing the menu and cost took forever! The next day it was all erased! I thought you'd fire me right on the spot thinking, "this girl is so stupid!" thank you for laughing about it and giving me a second chance to reprogram the stupid machine.
Thank you for letting me create a new position at Five Star. I really appreciate you taking a chance on me. It must have been hard to give up so much trust and faith in me (Both of us not having experience in what a Catering Consultant actually does.) Thank you for supporting me and allowing me to be the voice and walking advertisement of Five Star.
Do you remember that horrible, awful snowy morning? I do. You texted me and offered to come pick me up because my car is the least snow friendly car in the world. I know you just wanted me to be at work, but I really appreciated it. You have done so much for me. Thank you.
Thank you for adopting me into your family. I feel so welcome and loved by you and Joni. You guys are definitely my Happy Valley Parents :) Thank you for forgiving all my "fo shizzles" Thanks for teaching me about good music. Thank you for being so laid back, funny and silly at work. You and Mike make work tons of fun. I still tell people about the time you plugged your iphone into the speakers in the back while using the talking tom cat app. The delivery guy came into the kitchen and you started talking to him through the cat. I almost peed myself!
Thanks for cooking amazing food!!! You are the best meat smoker. Your sauces are delightful. That reminds me...my dad keeps begging me to buy him some more Alabama Sauce. I could eat a barrel of your mashed taters and smoked beans!
Thanks for being the worlds greatest boss! I appreciate you bringing your talents to the world (well Orem, Utah) I am learning so much from you and I hope to be as successful as you and Joni. Thank you for all you have taught me and keep teaching me. You're the best! Thank you
