Oh My What A Day!

There's a saying at work...
"When it rains ...
The customers POUR in"
And let me tell you--
That was the way work went today.
I am sooooooo tired
We were so busy and we had a sick call.
It was like those work nightmares.
Do you ever have them???
Everything goes wrong and you just can't fix it!
When I delivered mail,
I'd dream about taking a lunch for 5 hours.
Leaving the restaurant, it would be dark and I still
would have all my mail.
Yikes!!!
As a waitress,
the dream is getting so many customers
and not being able to get anything done.
Can't fill the drinks, no glasses.
Out of hot cocoa,
people keep stopping you for other things.
The sweat breaks out it's been 10 minutes.
(they're probably secret shoppers!)
Waking up only pauses the dream.
Dropping back off to sleep only restarts the same dream!
Get me out of this mess!!!
Well
Back to today...
It was the shift that wouldn't end.
It was the never-ending customers.
It was having to make up for the sick call.
I am glad it's over.
Excuse me while I soak my feet.
P.S.
I am wiped out!
and....
Yes,
The tips were GREAT!
