Chapter 72
.
Tuesday August 30th was Eve's last day off before her new job. She went to the movies, the cashier was somewhat suprised that Eve bothered to pay. Eve wasn't sure if he recognized her. Either way most people just snuck inside these days. This outlaw movie involved a group of women wrongfully jailed who escape and have to rob a bank for money. On Wednesday August 31st Eve woke up early and wished her jo started earlier. She realized that when school started earlier. She realized that when school started next week she'd have to start her shifts later than this, but on her last week of summer vacation it was frustrating. Eve arrived at 3;30, nervously waited in the break room to clock on. Finally it was 3:55, Eve clocked on early. They assigned Eve to mr Sanchez's office and his other secretary left. Eve sat and waited for a phone call, or for mr Sanchez to dictate a memo to her. It was almost half an hour before her phone rang. When it finally rung she used her most pleasant voice and transferred the call to her boss. It became clear that this job would involve long periods of boredom. After school started this might be a good opportunity to do her homework. A little before 7pm they sent Eve on her break. Eve had a few candy bars and a soda from the vending machines, and a ciggarette to help her nervousness. Eve made certain to clock back on exactly 30 minutes after clocking off. After her break mr Sanchez asked Eve to type a letter for him. This seemed to be a proposal on construction costs for a nearby shelter. Eve barely understood a single word of this, but her boss liked her typing skills. Shortly before 9pm he gave Eve permission to leave. Eve waited in the breakroom for her father to finish and drive them oth home. She only waited about 20 minutes, but glad her first day was over, and she'd survived.
