mom always said there's safety in numbers

One of those days. One of those days. At work. Hard to smile at customers, even more difficult to check emails and tidy the shelves, and absolutely unthinkable to get started on all those orders I need to put together. Brain working sluggishly at half-speed. Back aching from slouching in front of the computer, browsing anything even remotely interesting on the internet and being bored by all of it. Counting hour-long minutes until I get to close up shop and go home. Desperately in need of inspiration, excitement, a fairytale event crashing unexpectedly into my dull life.

One of those days when settling down to enter sales figures into a spreadsheet is the only thing that can soothe my troubled mind.
