Thanksgivings, Christmases, New Year’s Eve there in Michigan—yeah, I worked all the holidays there and twelve hour shifts those were with Christmas Eve and Christmas morning bright and early thank you. Do I know hard work? They were open every day of the year. And nobody liked to work holidays but I always got stuck with them.
Customers were really nice to me on those days, though— and would apologize ….as they bought things which is always that strange moment of gratitude and something else on either side but always more positive unless I think about the holidays I didn’t get to be with Persephone. I missed them all. Even Chris got to be at them but I was working. He was usually unemployed but nevermind that(I have been the breadwinner for two men, isn’t that interesting?)
yeah I do deserve more don’t you think
put my feet up, go to Tahiti and not feel a pang of guilt
