The Shift Replacement

Fall Leaves


Son K has interesting days at his part time job where he has worked for years. They employ a lot of students who come and go. There is a pretty girl who gets a lot of attention from the guys (and even from older male customers). She told K that most people would think it is flattering, but 90% of the time it is annoying. She also sounds like a nice, polite girl.

The other day K had to exchange one of his work shifts. He was having trouble finding a replacement as they are a bit short-staffed at the moment. Luckily, this pretty girl was on the shift he wanted replaced so one of the guys volunteered when he realized who he would be working with that day! Needless to say, the girl was not pleased with this replacement as the guy has been texting her a bit too much and she doesn't like him 'that way'.

Ah, the lives of the 'barely-adults'! K is just having a good chuckle about the situation and happy to have his shift replaced. He actually tried to borrow the girl's phone to send the guy a friendly text 'from her', but the girl smartly said 'no'.  So nowadays, 'why doesn't she call me' has become 'why hasn't she texted me?'
