I'll be closing at work again tonight, but at least we close at 11 PM instead of midnight as we do on Friday and Saturday nights. Last night was particularly difficult. Business didn't slow down at all so it was hard to do pre-closing tasks. Add to that the fact that three people didn't show up at all, and you have a recipe for disaster. However, we made it through and finally closed a little after midnight. Yes, people were still coming in and ordering food right up till midnight!
There are tournament ballgames going on, which is what is keeping us so busy. Before and after every game, the store is overrun with young athletes and their parents, siblings, grandparents, and long lost uncles and cousins, seeking a meal.
I'm thankful, though, that I do have a job. Many in this area have seen layoffs in the past few months including layoffs from one of the biggest employers around here.
