Your Stressed Coworker Opens Up to You During Your Shift (Enemies to Friends) (Venting) (Comfort) (Sweet) (Food Court at the Mall)
Your coworker thinks you're a slacker because you're always goofing off at work, so the two of you have never really gotten along. One day when she comes into work, you playfully tease her like you always do. But what you don’t realize is that she’s been dealing with a lot of stress the past few days. When she breaks down in the back, you're surprisingly good at comforting her. ❤️

“You should have picked up your order when it was ready if you wanted it to be hot.” Spit those facts Glow! 😂
Poor girl… makes me want to take her away from all that. Really no one should have to put up with such a day like that! I’m glad she had some comfort before the day was out. - Hey so, I’ll open up a little here. I’m attending university in Japan, despite being out of school for 10 years, as the circumstances have made. I did meet someone here that I was interested in and I gave myself two months to think it over. My decision to ask her out remained, and I did so just a few days ago. My idea was to tour some famous mochi places then watch the sunset from a high point because mochi is her favorite confection and she misses seeing the sunrise back in her home country. She said, “That sounds REALLY fun, but I’m going back to [my home country], so I’m not really looking for a relationship right now.” That was the response I was expecting, but it was definitely worth a shot on the off-chance it would have worked out. I told her I was happy to remain friendly and I thanked her for her honesty. We’re still on talking terms, fortunately. Heck, today, she joined myself and four other students for some party games (the sober and PG kind; we are all believers, after all), even though she knew I was there. She’s not actively avoiding me. I did tell another girl about a year and a half ago (this was in Texas) how I felt about her. She gave me a “not yet” but she really meant no, in hindsight. I told her I was willing to stay just friends, but the truth was, I really wasn’t. It was either be my girl or begone. Which was immature. With this girl whom I asked out a few days ago, I did really mean it when I said I was okay staying just friends. Looks like I matured some. Thank God. It’s disappointing that she said no, but not all that surprising, either. What was surprising however, was that I didn’t take it nearly as hard as I thought I would. I’m sad, but not like, depressed or heartbroken. And it taught me a few things: one, asking a girl out is not that complicated, and two, I’m not as unattractive as I thought I was. Sure, I’m not a conventionally attractive guy that women fawn all over. I’ll never be like that unless I become a multimillionaire. Which is still very much possible. But I’m not repulsive, either. She did say that the date sounded really fun, so I would wager that if she was planning to stay here and was open to a relationship with anyone, I really do think she would have said yes. This was also the first time I have ever asked a girl out. I’ve confessed twice, but this is the first actual asking her out. My mentor and I had a two-hour long phone call about this not long after the fact, and he was proud of me for making the move, which he did encourage me to do when I felt it was time. *sigh* Sorry to share that here. But I figured the sort of people who listen to audios like this can relate, and so maybe it’ll help you some.
Wow ty for sharing that!! I think it's a really great thing to value someone for their friendship even if it never goes beyond that. Everyone needs a friend just as much as they need a romantic partner, I'm sure she's so grateful to have you in her life. It's such a vulnerable thing to ask somebody out, especially a friend, so I think it's great you did and it sounds like you've got everything handled really well
One should never underestimate the power of something as simple as just listening to someone.
Oh hey I think I requested something similar to this back in february. Really love how this turned out!
Yes!!! I loved your idea, thank you for suggesting it! ❤️
God I just wanna give this character a hug, that’s tough.
I smell pizz- i mean part 2 potential! 👀😌 amazing work as always glow! 🥰
2:23 - 2:36 That sounds like an "I like the tuna here" reference Yeah. Wow. Sweet, warm and so natural. Your writing and acting is just perfect as always, Glow!
Awh thank you!!
A really sweet audio with a well deserving part 2? Maybe? Potentially?
I would love to eat a pizza made by Glow! 🍕

Haven’t listened yet to the audio yet, but I’m going to keep the tradition of a song recommendation. 1976 - Smashing Pumpkins. I’m learning it on drums and when I’m done on drums I’ll learn on guitar. Have a wonderful day or night.
That's so cool!! I wish I could play the guitar
I really like the comforting others type of audios, it feels nice. I also agree with the others that this one could use a part 2, I really want to see what happens next!
Another amazing audio, ESPECIALLY leaving it open to a potential part 2; the possibilities are endless! - I'm not sure if you saw my comment on the library audio the other day, but you've been putting out some absolute gems recently. Your normal standard is already so high, but something about the quality of writing and the pacing lately has just been extra good!
Thank you so much Josh!!! That's the best thing to hear!
Ohh - this scenario could be fun. Hope you’re having a lovely day 😁😁
As a former barista the title alone is so relatable LOL
I can already sense a Part 2 coming soon with this one. Also I like to imagine there’s a co-worker named Peter. Who’s always running late or disappear at the moment inconvenient rushes.
This needs a part 2
I really like how natural your storytelling is. All the info is engaging with the setting and the characters but doesnt feel artificial which must be hard in this format. Thank you for respecting the story and the listener Dr. Glow.
Song is Jeep - Kim Petras
so excited for this one!
might be in the minority but i like it when it ends with becoming friends. could also be that it has sequel potential?🙂↕️
AfterGrump
this kinda reminds me of the coffee shop audio where she thinks you have a girlfriend but in an alternate universe
Stress gets to everyone eventually so it's always nice to have someone to talk to and for that reason I hope everyone has a stress free weekend followed by a stress free week!
enemies to lovers so goated 🥹
