Work fun

Well what a day we had yesterday. An elderly woman with heatstroke, an unexpected power cut in the restaurant and a broken down van that blocked the main entrance, and I swear that all happened during my lunch hour! Throw into that a fourth successive day of high temperatures, a tired mind after a night of insomnia and an early morning with an irritable son, and it made for quite the Monday Experience!
But hey, we got through it, and we start again on a fresh day with a fresh set of hours to contend with.
I have to say that, despite the complications arising from the sudden surge, I am absolutely loving the warmer weather. Getting to wear thin, short-sleeved shirts without any fear of a cold back or stiff neck is wonderful, and seeing the smiles on faces again, rather than the hunched shoulders as people huddle to hide from the chill, really lightens my mood. There were some tough times there, mentally, in the 'Spring' months of March and April, but all that is forgotten now as I wake up in sunshine, walk to my car with sunglasses on, and get to drive to work with the windows down! Well - most of it is forgotten now. There are still a few residual cobwebs of darkness, so please let us have another 5 months of this weather please, and then it will all be forgotten.
