A view into the thoughts of two different people dealing with the same moment in time.
Finally. Lunchtime. I thought they would never let me go on break. Now, if only I can get to that time clock quick enough. Now. Let’s see what they have for lunch today. Well, it could be worse. Fried chicken from the deli. Oh well. At least it isn’t the slop they gave us yesterday. “Yes ma’am. I’ll have one breast please, and some potato salad and green beans. Thank you.” Now where to sit. Oh no. Can’t there be anywhere to sit except with her. Maybe if I leave now I can get to my office and eat there instead of in here with her. At least in there I will be able to play around online. Oh lord. She’s seen me now. And she’s even waving me over. Now I have to sit with her. If she would just carry on a normal conversation for once in awhile I wouldn’t mind sitting with her. But it’s always the same old thing. Why me. Woe is me. Can’t she just grow up?
Why me? Woe is me! Can’t my life ever straighten out. I’m 31 years old and you think my life wouldn’t be such a mess. And now here I am sitting at lunch all alone. Again. I should be used to it after all. It happens every day. I don’t know why I dont have any friends. I’m a nice person. Maybe if I look around someone nice just walked in and I can get them to sit with me. Oh thank you sweet Jesus. It’s Michele. She just walked in. If anyone will sit with me it’s her. I’ll just wave her on over. Oh good. She saw me. And even better she’s walking over here. Finally, now I can tell her all about last night’s drama. I know she will have some advice for me. And even if she doesn’t she will at least be able to pray for me.
