We shared a couple of laughs about his packing skills and lack of adherence to the rules.

I had said I would be available on standby (we knew this situation was going to come up), but there&#8217;s someone on spring break who was eager for shifts, so I hoped she would go in instead of me and she did! The money I would have made today wouldn&#8217;t have been worth losing all that home time. I did offer to go in at about 9:45 to lock up, and this was gratefully accepted. I suspect I will come home and crash after; spending a lot of money at one time always exhausts me. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHEW.
