This is it.
The moment of no return.
I'm excited and anxious. I walk into goodwill like I own the place. Firstly, I look around the place to see what could be my next place of employment.
After browsing for 10-ish minutes, I walk over to the register where I see this fairly old woman who has white hair covering the edges of her hair.
"Hey, I've noticed this flyer the other day and seen that you guys needed more workers?"

"Hello, hello! Please we need the extra hands!"

"Oh my gosh, does that mean I got the job?!"

She says, "Yes, honey! We get busy around 3-7 PM every day. I'm so happy someone came. What's your name?"

"My name is Brittany. Brittany Johnson."

"Welcome to the family, Brittany. We are so excited to have you here. My name is Constantina. I've been here for 16 years and have seen so many people come and go."

Constantina leads me to the back of the store to sign some papers and shows me where everything is. She then leaves to go back to the front of the store, I proceeded to go to the bins and sort out the clothing.

2 HOURS LATER

I have just finished with sorting 3 bins and found some cool stuff to take home. Such as a flannel, black legging and these Fenty by Rihanna puma shoes.
I head on over to my locker space and store my goods in there. Constantina is already in the room, she looks distraught. I hope she's okay, I'll check on her once I put my things away.

"Hey Constantina, everything okay?"

She sniffles and says to me "My husband is in the hospital right now. He called me and said he has gonorrhea."

"Hey don't cry, he's going to be okay."

"HE CHEATED ON ME! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!"

No I clearly didn't understand because I'm a single woman trying to find love. "I'm sorry, he doesn't deserve you. You seem like a wonderful woman."

Constantina gets up to go back to her station. I follow her lead and go back to the bins.

I wonder, maybe I should go to the hospital to get myself checked out now that I'm a new woman. I hope I can do everything in my power to become a better woman.

It's already 6:48 PM, I'm exhausted and can't wait to do this again. I clock out and say good night to Constantina.

The bus is already on its way which means I got out at a perfect time. The bus is full of a group of teenagers, they look like they had a day of fun. 7 girls 1 boy. The boy appears to be tall, hot and his skin is like milk and coffee. He makes my heart skip a beat and we haven't even spoken. The girls seem to each have a sister. I know what I'm seeing is twins, a pair of 2 and then a pair of 3. They are all super pretty. I just wish to speak to them. But maybe we will see each other again.

Just a like that. I'm back home.
