You Know it's Going to be One of "Those" Days When...

- Your (and your coworker) are placed in a conference room at the back of the chapel (it kind of reminds me of the old 'cry room' at church)
- You think it'll be okay because they just had mass yesterday, so you shouldn't feel like you're intruding on Communion today
- It's actually better than that; the chapel is acting as a polling site for the local primary elections
- 6 people are sitting there eating (a Big Mac at 8:30 am - really?) and glaring at you as you walk by. Oh, and literally talking non-stop for 7+ hours straight, so loudly you can hear them through the door you closed
- You watched someone trying to escape while several others tried to subdue them
- You really had to use the bathroom, so you finally walked past the pollers (new word?), only to open the door to the bathroom and find it already occupied. They forgot to lock it. Whoops.
- You are asked "So, how long have you worked for..." I hear this question once per week as they try to figure out if I am indeed old enough to be doing my job (I occasionally get a kick out of this one...just not as much today)

It's slightly more amusing tonight, looking back on the day. My coworker and I decided that tomorrow will be better, no matter what.

I'm just hoping there isn't a memorial service in the chapel.
