How you know your job is your calling

Victoria and I ran the usual Sunday Afternoon tea today. By the time we'd cleaned up, locked down, and shut the door we were in total agreement: today was awesome. This business gives one of the best natural highs in the world: an upbeat busy service with happy customers and good stress (yes, there is such a thing). It's the kind of high that just slightly elevates your adrenaline and endorphine levels, just enough to keep you on your toes.
The problem with this business is that we can only rest on that feeling of having accomplished something fabulous until tomorrow. Because that's when the restaurant opens again with new set of customers and you have to do it all over again.
It's hard work, with long hours. We work incessantly to try to make sure that the end of every service leaves us (and our customers) with that happy feeling. But I guess that's how you know you've found your calling: when come what may, you get out of bed and do another shift. Because you're just addicted to that feeling of having nailed it.
