Ego bruising at the gates of hell

">

It was a really nice day out today. However, I worked. 7:45- 5:00 shift. I got out early today on account that I worked too quickly and got everything done. Some girl came in for an interview and made fun of me because after lunch I put my apron inside out and didn’t realize it. Her face annoys me, and her attitude, at least I wouldn’t go around and make fun of the employees at a place you’re trying to get a job at. I didn’t want her to get hired on account of my apron fiasco, but she did anyway. I feel like it wasn’t all my fault though, I had a painful lunch.

I went on my lunch break around 12. I decided to go back to my apartment, I knew I had a letter coming either today or tomorrow, so I was excited to see if it came. The parking spaces were full on the street so I had to park in the back lot of my apartment. I went around to the front door to go and check and see if it came. Now, for people who aren’t aware, I live next to a loan office, and next to that the majestic Kirksville Mini Mall. Mini is a good way to describe it. Essentially it is a knife store and a tanning salon. I think they just installed some coke machines in there as well.

Anyways, a lot of pretty girls come and go. I saw a girl coming out of there as I approached the door to the apartment. She looked familiar, so I was going to wave hi, but I wasn’t too sure it was her, and I didn’t want to be some weird creepy guy who waves hi at some girl who turns out to be a complete stranger. Those occurrences only lead to awkward looks and me staying hidden from the public the rest of the day. So what do you do when you’re not sure if you know the person walking towards you? Well, I put my hand against the door and looked back over my shoulder to casually and inconspicuously look at her again. Well, she turned out not to be the person I expected, and the door, of which I placed my hand on to go inside, wasn’t exactly what I expected either.

Remember, it was a nice day outside, so it being the nice day that it was, the door was propped open. I didn’t know that. I leaned against the air. I fell. It hurt.
