What a day. I thought it would be great to get to work early but it didn't work out that way. I had to sit on the toilet a lot longer than usual...and that was that.
T was in a crazy place when I got to work...she's been acting out a lot lately. I haven't seen her at meetings; wonder what has got her so messed up. She dropped a tray of drinks all over the floor and tables and when I had cleaned it up, the other server slipped on the wet floor and dropped HER drinks. And I immediately turned and made non-slip shoes mandatory.
It was a hard day, very very hot, very busy: non-stop. I never did stop. I ate a biscuit with jam and butter. I had a large mug of coffee. I worked my ass off and my back was hurting but I got through the day thinking of the tv show I saw last night about a fish processing plant aboard a huge ship on Alaskan waters. They work 16 hours a day bent over this conveyor belt pushing fish into slots... it talked about how bad their backs hurt and how it takes a certain kind of person to push through that pain and keep working for weeks on end.
Of course they make a hell of a lot more money and get four months off at a time.
K was in a bad mood at work too. I wonder if it is the heat; I have learned how to keep my sense of humor despite the heat but others have not managed that so far.
When I left work all the night shift as well as S were gathered round me listening to me talk about my upcoming punk rock reunion. Someone said "You have all this cool stuff you are doing lately" and I said "I have to. I worked hard for a year with no fun at all, it's time I had some fun."
