Spring Break????

Last Wednesday night at work, a high school girl who works as a waitress was checking out before going home. After signing for her charge tips, she looked at me and asked, "Mr. Jones, what are you going to do on spring break??"

"Hell, I'm going to work! This isn't school, this is the real world. School doesn't prepare you for the real world. We don't work just 180 days a year. We aren't off on every holiday known to man. We go to work whether it is hot, cold, or there is a forecast of snow. We don't get off for spring break." I stopped ranting and took a breath to get some oxygen.

"So you aren't going anywhere for spring break?"

Yes, Miss Wednesday is a blonde.
