I had a rough day at work today. It was 2:55 with five minutes left on my 9 - 3 shift. The food market came and had to bail their cardboard, since their bailer broke.

We are both owned by the same parent company. We had to pull out a full bail so they could start. It was SO hat in that room - NO AC, just a light breeze from the open doors.

I am waiting for the cooler air to hit us later this evening. I’ve been walking the pup early, since we are also taking care of a neighbor’s dog. His walk is much shorter, but has to be done daily.

Hope you get some rest and a cooler workday tomorrow.

I don’t have to work until Sunday PM. I usually work four or five days a week with some weekend days.
