6 working days now until vacation, and the restaurant is as busy as ever. Busier, in fact.
And after work, the last bus home, almost crowded, everyone boarding and fumbling for out of date, post dated transfers, shortchanging the bus driver a quarter, arguing, pleading (everyone gets on the last bus, you only need to pass the interrogation. Which, depending on how you approach it -"I promise to pay more next time I get on the bus"... is quick or long, depending).
I sit and wait, it's been a long day, long night, I just want to get home and go to sleep.
