Everything is bleak it’s the middle of the night

You see that picture? That’s karma. That’s a new employee. 2nd day. Idiot. I’m not fond of them. But that’s besides the point. Earlier, before this, they told me that there’s a customer outside that needs help. Mind you it’s snowing, and a little windy. I’ve been outside on and off for about 7 hours at this point, and they’ve helped one customer.

“Shawshank, there’s a customer outside, they need some help.”

Ok, what’s the problem? Go out and help them.”

“But I’m cooold.”

I went out and help the customer, came back in, and told BossLady. She’s not impressed.

So later on, I’m outside again (because I said that I’d stay an extra two hours to cover a call out – due to the shitty weather, helping a customer, the co-worker gets in her car, cranks some sort of rap or something, and the next thing I see is their car in the ditch.

Just deserts 🙂

Then shortly before it’s time to go, I’m outside helping a customer again, I see my mom drive by. I wave, she honks the horn. I think nothing of it. I’m driving home, and I see a bright blue tractor pulling out a silver truck that looks like my mom’s. I drive to a place that I can pull over and wait. Then I think that that couldn’t be my mom’s truck. So I drive past Shady Acres, and she’s not home yet. Oh shit.

I drive out back onto the highway, where she passes me. I turn around and follow her back to Shady Acres to see if she’s ok. I carry her groceries in. And thankfully, she’s ok and the truck is ok.

This snow can stop anytime. I have to shovel soon. But probably tomorrow. I worked a 10 hour shift today. I’m tired.
