last day of work

It was friday around 8:45 as we where going back home from church, on our way back home we had to get something quick to eat because i had to sleep early for my 6 am shift. I didn't want to wake up early but i knew it was my last day so i was excited and ready to get my last day over with. We finally get home as we sit down to eat i was so hungry, the smell of the pizza was good but i think its because i was to hungry. It was around 10:45 and i decided to go to bed already because i knew i had to wake up early tomorrow. my alarm went off at 5 i turned it off still laying in bed it took me ten minutes to get up and ready for work. on my way to work it was chili outside, the sky was still dark and the streets were empty.

I get to work and it was empty it was so quite, it was only 3 of us working until 10. work was so slow which was good for a saturday morning, then 10 am came around and people started coming it was so quite and nice then all of a sudden you start hearing people and its starts to get loud. i thought it was gonna be a nice and slow day at work but i was wrong it was very busy, i finally go on break once everything slowed down it was a relief sitting down my feet were tired of to much standing up. Once my break was over my manger wanted to talk to me and he had asked me to stay until 5, i was so mad because i was supposed to get out at 1 and mad me get out at 5 but i couldn't say no because they couldn't find anybody.

so i stay but as the day goes on the more people keep coming i was so frustrated and tired i just wanted to go home and get some rest. the more i looked at the time the slower it felt, at one point of the day we had drive threw and dine in full of orders sand there was only two cooks which was me and the other worker. people were complaint about the time and some of the orders where past out wrong, and that got me mad because the managers were blaming us but it wasn't our fault it was the girls on gator. this rush lasted two hours and once we finished i was so happy i didn't have to deal with so many orders.

it was 4 and i had asked the manager if i could leave and he thought about it and said yes it was fines they would call someone to see if they could come, i was but sad because i was going to miss my co workers i said bye to them but of course there was more missing. i finally get home i take of my work cloths shower and take a long nap. i will miss the people i worked but not the work but first time working at a fast-food was a good experience. i guess i can say i haas a long last day of work.
