Despite Indigenous People’s Day/Participation Trophy Guy Day being a minor Federal holiday, we were shorthanded. And someone had hurled the Door 82 diverter from on high down to the floor. And the supply pig wasn’t on the wall until after start time. And to top it off, the system once again sent an entire truckload of DELV to the 100 Slide(where no one was working) instead of the trailer on 89(where C was twiddling her thumbs). And I couldn’t work that, because I got yeeted from Surepost to the 200 slide, which was also getting all the Mez work, along with some add/cuts that weren’t pulled till the drivers were leaving. So long holiday Monday, but “Not my circus, not my monkeys”.  
Edit: and Spot is napping in the dog kennel, because cat.

It took me 48 years to learn to say NO!
