Jackin’ With Jocelyn September 30, 2010 No Comments
Charlie hits the ‘jack’pot on the late shift.
Charlie looked at the clock at let out a long sigh as his printer spit out the last page of his receiving report. It was eight thirty four on a Friday night. With another long, grueling shift behind him, he grabbed the lottery ticket he’d bought at lunch off the bulletin board, shut off the lights and headed down the hallway, “You better be a winner baby,” he said as he kissed the ticket and stuffed it in his shirt pocket, “Ol’ Charlie can’t take too many more days like this.”
All that was left to do now was dump his reports in the in box on Jocelyn’s office door and he was off until Monday. Charlie had started in the shipping receiving department the same week Jocelyn had started in the office. Now, ten years later, Charlie was still doing the same job and so was Jocelyn.
