Aching Feet

It's 4:45pm and my feet are killng me. I am definately going to have to start searching for some new work shoes. I was originally scheduled to work from 12:00pm - 5:00pm today. Long ago, as if in a dream, I heard my phone ring at 6:45 this morning. I was sleeping so good that I really did think it was in a dream, until I heard my cell phone ring a few minutes later.

It was work, they had one person call in sick and another who had been at work since 5:30am and they were fixing to send him home sick. I answer the phone and I hear, "I know you aren't scheduled until noon, but, could you come in early?" After asking exactly how early she had in mind, I was quickly informed, "now." I said that I would be there around 8ish as I had to take a shower and get my uniform out of the washing machine.

So, I clocked in at work at 8:25 this morning. About 9:15 we were slammed and I was again thanked for coming in early and bailing them out. Apparently there was a St. Patrick's Day Parade on Greenville Avenue and they used North Park Mall parking lot as the home base for the parade. I believe we fed every person who was in or went to the parade today, and they all decided to head to Panera Bread in groups of 50.

Usually, when you work a 7-1 or 8-2 shift, you get to sit down and take a break and eat a bagel or something before the lunch crowd hits. My 8:25 - 4:15 shift and when did I get to take a break? 3:10pm. I had a Roast Beef, Gorgonzola, Horseradish & Avacado sandwich and a cup of soup. YUM.

It's 4:55 and it is an amazingly beautiful day. The thermostat in my car said 89 degrees and there isn't a cloud in the sky. This is a day I wish I was in "TheArmpitOfHell" because I would either go down to Cameron Park or Baylor Campus and sit outside and read a book or study for finals. I'm sure there are plenty of pretty parks here in Dallas but I dont know where they are and by the time I found out where it was and drove there the sun would be going down. So, I guess I am going to go sit out on my patio and enjoy the warm breeze and blue skies.

I better enjoy it today and tomorrow because Monday - Wednesday its supposed to be back in the 50s and rainy. No wonder everyone I know is getting sick. 90 one day, 40 the next. I'm ready for a good old fashioned summer, where you know that its going to be 90+ for the next 4 months.

Have a wonderful day.
