before the fall, or, the words I left behind on Friday night

I'm sitting in the office at work. I was due to start half an hour ago, but my shift has been delayed indefinitely because it's so quiet here. Everyone's decided to go home and hide from the rain. It's where I'd like to be. There are others that I could sit with, but I'm just not feeling up to human contact so I'm soaking up as much alone time as I can before putting on my happy bartender face. We're so broke at the moment but I keep thinking to myself that I'd be quite happy if my shift were cancelled entirely. I don't know why I feel this way, I guess it's been a heavy and stressful week in it's own mundane way. I would probably benefit from a good long cry about nothing in particular. But instead I'll put on a happy face and play fight with G when he gets in. They're all there, within sight. I can see but I'm not really here. They don't see me. There is a wall between us all.

Back in a flash, I promise. We're taking a much needed day off tomorrow, after which I'm looking forward to getting back into my old rhythm. Blogging very much included. I've missed this space in the last week. Time has passed so slowly, it feels like so much longer.
