So I walk into work at 5pm and start going about my business. A few minutes into my shift, the head store manager passes by my department and gives me a puzzled look. “I thought you were supposed to be in today at 5 in the morning,” she says. I’m struck by a sudden wave of embarrassment and guilt, and I quickly apologize. “That’s funny,” she says simply, giving me a half smile and walking away. Thank God I’ve accumulated enough goodwill at work to get away with crap like that.
Brilliant, wow, that just made my day. Luckily for me, there isn’t much left of it.
