The Daily Teaser — 15-12-2015

You know, that 2:30 to 8:30 shift I did yesterday?   And repeating, today?

Well, I’m not complaining, too much.

The fact I’m working, and can can afford to buy Christmas presents, is fine.

But, my word, those 2:30 to 8:30 are awkward ones!

It’s too late in the afternoon and evening to get any thing done: at least anything extensive.

At least, that’s my opinion.

Still …

If nothing else, yesterday’s shift went well enough.   I can only hope that’s added to my up selling record …
