Nov. 14th, 2007 01:23 amI seriously never thought anything like this would happen to me at work. Well...not to me personally, but while I was at work...
The restaurant is closed, and everyone's doing their sidework, cleaning and getting things closed down. No different from any other night, right? Totally wrong. This loud crash echoes through the building and we all run toward where it came from. The cause? Apparently, some punk ass kid decided he wanted to punch a hole in our front window with his skateboard! I mean, seriously? Did that really just happen? Huge ass hole in the window, it's completely cracked up the middle. Why do people do stupid things like that? I mean, what's the point? Attention? A dare? It's just stupid. And I was just about ready to leave too. Me, who had been at work since 12:30 this afternoon, who hadn't eaten all day, and who was just about to leave. Me...who had to talk to the cop who showed up, had to decide whether we wanted to press charges or not, had to figure out how to calm down the girls who had watched it all happen. Me...I really shouldn't have been the one to do all that.
You never think about things like this until it actually happens. Now...I think I am officially freaked. O_O I need a drink.
