Waking up to the sound of the alarm (which of course is the sound of the TARDIS… Google it) getting out of bed wasn’t as hard for Jesus as other days despite not being able to sleep the night before.
Going through the motions he got ready for work and content that he was actually early he set out only to see the bus turn the corner and leave him behind… he cursed aloud and broke into a trot then started running down hill. To his fortune the driver saw him through the side view mirror and stopped on another corner about half a mile down the road. He boarded.
He got to work and clocked in at 00’s just barely on time… and the office was closed. Surely enough the front desk girl came in and opened the office. she’s nice, the type that doesn’t mess with anyone, but doesn’t take any shit either. It was glorious... all was quiet, and nice. Co-worker wasn’t there. Jesus set to work with a smile.
This was of course, as is the nature of most nice things with Jesus, very short lived… others started coming in including co-worker. Peace was broken. He would have liked this few paragraphs to have just read as “morning was uneventful” but he doesn’t do “uneventful”.
Another guy from sales who likes to play around with Photoshop (amateur stuff and still does a better job at it that the ‘educated’ co-worker) so Jesus gave him some quick pointers in photo editing.. Co-worker decided to try and upstage him and tried to do some editing right there... Which only got them a warning (which most, as he did, would probably see as a threat of being fired.. which it pretty much was) that said “if you’re going to be teaching someone to do graphics, you’ll end up teaching someone to do your job”.. Except the sentence was a bit broken, the narrator just couldn’t bring himself to type it (or remember it) verbatim. After this co-worker decided to get chatty but Jesus wasn’t in the mood but decided it wouldn’t be fair to take it out on anyone.
Only an hour in and his day had already turned sour… He decided to just shut up and go through the motions of his job until he was out…
The next two hours went by uneventfully save for the moments the co-worker decided to start talking and repeating the same thing he had said many times before.
And it was still just the morning…
