I hate Mondays…
Yeah, I know. Who doesn’t. For some damned reason, where I work, any thing insanely wrong usually happens on Monday.
The sun was out and it felt decent. A bit of a chill in the air but nice. What I should have did was call in sick and went back to bed. No such luck. The work day started off normal. I had my list of stuff to do (In case any of those out wonder what I do for a living, I work in a Italian food warehouse four ten hour days a week.). I get done and it’s time to start on the routes. My boss gives me a easy route. My Spider-Sense decides to take a coffee break and I set out to do it in decent time. I was dressed in a T-Shirt, khakis, and a jacket. I walk out of the walk-in refrigerator and my boss has this weird look on his face. Not good. He then tells me the guy who normally works in the freezer decides to go home sick leaving me to finish up five routes worth of frozen to do. Had this been last Monday, I would been out the door and have a doctors excuse as to why I left screaming bloody murder. Last Monday was the week before Easter and the routes were extremely heavy. Me, being the all smart guy, decided to wash my winter jacket and other warm weather gear. So for Tuesday and Thursday I get to work in the deep freeze. Because I’m the only idiot who can read a order form and get the order correct. I hope. The guy who works in said freezer has his own unique way of having things in the freezer where only he can figure it out. Instead of boring you as to how infracking sane this nut job is, I’ll just leave you with this. He smokes in the freezer with the fans going full tilt. He smokes menthol cigarettes. So, yeah I hate Mondays. Or I hate the first day of the work week, I’ve had bad stuff happens to me on a Tuesday when I decided to take a Monday. So now it’s heavy jeans, heavy sweat shirt and thermal gloves. I’m in need of some chocolate or some Irish Whiskey by weeks end.
Now it’s time for a long hot shower and maybe a decent nights sleep seeing how I have to be awake by 11:30am. Yeah, some alcohol or something stronger by weeks end. Or a slice of Pecan Pie. I’m not picky.
Be carefull out there…

Two day weekends are never enough, and Mondays never give a person a warm up before the hustle bustle. It’s unhealthy. Glad you survived another one.
The freezer guy is nuts, smoking around food. Have the customers ever complained about their orders smelling like cigarettes?
May I recommend an Irish Coffee? Best of both worlds: booze and warmth.
pecan pie? this is really your top choice of pie? monday is over. it all gets better from here. unless you freeze.
@promisesunshine - It is impossible to find anyone who makes a half way decent Pecan Pie. My aunt makes some killer homemade brownies and I see her once a year. A tall glass of milk and a slice of Pecan Pie and I’m in sugar heaven…
@ZombieMom_Speaks - When the product is sealed shut, there is no smell. The state of Ohio bans smoking indoors but I can smell the odor of smoke in the freezer when I have to go in there for product. Irish Coffee… Sounds like a winner for Friday…
@sleekpeek - Some Mondays are worse than others. Three days off are never enough when there are chores to do on the weekends…
Glad you survived it!
