My Banking Hiatus...
So, Barclays has two mounds of dirt that they think are gardens. They have sprinklers to water them and everything. The sprinklers also water the few marble stairs leading down to the bank entrance... apparently if you water them, they will grow.
So, I think that the steps are just wet, not flooded with water. I take my first step.. and my foot actually never touches the marble... I guess my flip flops surfed on the water for less than a second and then my feet flew out from under me. I landed sitting upright on the step. I scream out in pain. Tears are already covering my cheeks. The pain was hideous. The sprinklers are still watering the steps.. and now the sprinklers are watering a teary and pained me. I can't move. Then I notice the big windows all along the walls of the bank. I can see the tellers.. which means that they can see me... Not a big deal, except for the fact that the hot banker dude is there today. We have been flirting back and forth for a while. Random text messages and so on... The flirting was fun.. SHIT!!! Cute banker dude can see this hideous, crying, wet version of me... Not a look any girl wants to be seen in!!!
Well, I begin to wallow and think to myself "could this get any worse".. As soon as I acknowlede the thought a few coworkers from work drive up. Crap! Situation has just gotten worse...
I am still in more pain than I can bear.. but I force myself to get up.. I carefully stand up. I cannot really stretch my back out.. so I am forced to waddle back to my car...!!!
I sit down. The bank manager rushes out to see me. My coworkers crowd around my car. I am just crying and trying to act non-chalant...
Umm, yeah, that was a bad day... I am off banking for a while!
