I totally can relate to this! I had such a crush on a guy that worked at this restaurant with me and he quit/got fired and they hired somebody else who i addressed as “Not john” for months…awesome ficly!
I’ve never (yet) been employed, but this narrative somehow manages to speak to me on a very personal level. Also, that last line is highly effective at showcasing that the wheels of the workplace, in which the protagonist is caught up, stop for no one.
