I OPENED MY EYES AND GLANCED AT MY CLOCK THAT READ 7:30AM

I HAD TO READ THE COFFEE LABEL BECAUSE I BOUGHT A NEW BRAND

ONCE I MADE COFFEE, I WATCHED THE SOME OF THE OLYMPICS

I SAW A DETOUR SIGN ON MY WAY TO WORK

WE GOT A NEW SECURITY CODE SO I HAD TO READ THE ALARM CAREFULLY

I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM MY MANAGER ABOUT THE CODE

I SPOKE TO SEVERAL CUSTOMERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY

I HAD TO MAKE PRICE CHANGES SO I READ EACH OF THE OLD DOG FOOD LABELS

I NOTICED A NEW FEATURE ON THE REGISTER THAT ALLOWS US TO ENTER CUSTOMER INFO

A CUSTOMER WANTED TO KNOW IF WE COULD ORDER SNAILS SO I LOOKED IN OUR IN-STORE CATALOG

I RECEIVED AND READ SEVERAL EMAILS (INCLUDING THE SNAIL SITUATION)

I LOOKED AT MY WATCH TO SEE WHAT TIME IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE PREPARING FOR CLOSING

I SPOKE TO OUR SWEET CATS AS I CLEANED THEM FOR THE EVENING

I SHOWED A NEW ASSOCIATE WHERE THE TIME CLOCK IS AND WE BOTH CLOCKED OUT FOR THE DAY

I WAS RUNNING LOW ON FUEL SO I MONITORED MY GAS LIGHT ON MY WAY HOME

I GREETED AND SPOKE TO MY PARENTS ABOUT THEIR DAY WHEN I GOT HOME

ONCE I GOT HOME I SHOPPED ONLINE AND BOUGHT MOLLY A NEW COLLAR

AS I WAS GETTING READY FOR BED, MY PHONE FLASHED "10% BATTERY REMAINING"

I CHECKED MY MORNING ALARMS AND CALLED IT A DAY
