Mikey

I'm so excited today is my first day at my new job! My old job was nice but I needed a job that pays nice! It was good for when I was in high school. I put on my black pants and look at myself in the mirror. I have a white shirt on with a red bow tie. I fix my hair a little so it looks better. The uniform is not complete because they have the red and white striped apron at the diner that I have to wear. I grab my keys from the key bowl and put on my black dress shoes they told me to wear.

I unlock my car and get in. I look at the dashboard where the clock is to see I have 30 minutes left to get there. It will take me 15 minutes to get there, so I have 15 minutes to spare. Which is good if I want to meet the boss, and show them I will be early. Today I'm working from 8pm to 12am. They wanted me to work the graveyard shift so I can get a feel of working there. They must get more people to come in around at 12.

I arrived at Danny's Diner to see hardly anyone there. It looks like mostly truckers are the customers right now. Which makes sense, because they are open this late for the long haul truckers. I think the owner made it open so late because his father was a long haul tucker and when he would pass through this town there was no place still open.

His dad talked about it with him and that's when he had the idea to open this diner. He got a lot of truckers come though because of this making this place a gold mine. I get out of my car taking my wallet and keys with me. I go around to the back entrance like instructed to. I knocked three times to a rhythm. I wait a few moments, the chef is probably busy. The metal door opens to reveal a big man dressed in white, he looks me up and down. "You the new hirer?"

"Ya! It's my first day!" He opens the door wide so that I can slip in. "Go through that door, it's the break room. I'll tell the boss you are here." I give him a small smile. "Thank you." I go over to the wooden door and open it. There was a blonde woman white her hair in a ponytail. She's pretty old, I think she could be my grandma. "You new?"

"Uh ya! My name is Mikey, yours?" She looks me up and down. I feel so judged by her and the cook. "I'm Chrissy, I'm a waitress at the high table. I'm guessing I'll be training you today." She then goes back to looking at her phone. "Nice to meet you!"

"You do know you can sit down right?" She says not looking up from her phone. I didn't even notice I was still standing by the door. I quickly go and take a seat across from her. I say quiet as she scrolls on her phone. Dang I wish I had a phone right now, mine broke a while ago.

A man came into the break room wearing a black shirt that defined his muscles and blue jeans. He was quite handsome. "Hello! You must be Mikey the new hirer! I'm Daniel the owner of this diner. Here's your name tag, apron, and your code to your locker to leave your stuff." He hands me a white and red apron with a name tag on it. He gives me a piece of paper with my locker number and a different number. "The other number is the number you will use to clock in."

"Thank you." I quickly put in the apron. "You can clock in on that computer over there, I put your number in the system already." He points to a computer. I go over to it to see a enter button and a keypad on the screen. I put in the long number and press the enter on the keyboard not the enter button on the screen. It popped up my name and that I clocked in at 7:56.

"You'll be on the high top today and I'll train you not Chrissy. I want to be sure that I hired the right guy." I give him a nod and follow him out of the break room. He then goes through another door that leads right into the high tops. There were guys sitting around drinking coffee and some eating. It was a lot busier than I thought. "This the new guy?" A man with a trucker hat asked.
