Every once in a while you find yourself in a windowless room before the sun rises and even more rare is when you find your self in that same room hours later when the sun sets. Today was one such day. I was at work before seven am this morning just as the sky started to lighten but hadn't yet really become day. Stuck behind the bar with only small short breaks to run to the restroom the day flew by and after ten pm when I left work it was dark yet again. So today I worked behind the bar for fifteen hours and didn't see the light of day.
Working a double has its perks the paycheck being the most obvious and really the only real one, however it adds an interesting element to any day. I feel like I just completely lost my Sunday. I got up went to work, worked, came home and if I didn't have post to do would be in bed sleeping by now. The day disappears I don't know if it rained, if it was sunny, or even if it snowed all I know is I had to scrape ice of my windows to drive to work and I had to scrape ice off my windows to drive home from work. I know it was foggy at my house when I left for work and it was foggy at my house when I got home. I haven't the slightest idea when or if the fog burned off. Its odd this feeling of having had a completely nonproductive day even though I made hundreds of drinks and earned five/six hundred dollars.
Here I am at home having spent an entire day at work without seeing the light of day. Having spent most of a revolution of the earth in the back bar, at least the part of the revolution were the western hemisphere was facing the sun. I guess that happens though when the sun rises at 7:58am and sets ant 4:27pm it can't be helped when a fifteen hour work day over shadows the eight hours twenty-nine minutes and twenty seconds of day light Seattle got today.
