Titania had come dead tired from her cafe, serving her customers late till midnight. Her colleague was on leave from today as she was to deliver a baby soon. She was only happy to take her responsibility, as that would spare her some stressful time, where the customers constantly ask for better service without giving a thought to the load she was having; 10 tables but only one waitress, a bit too much to imagine.
So Titania had offered to do work of two people, in hope of getting some time to sit on an accounts computer! The computer, she thought, would give her a much needed break, 'at least for a few minutes na'. She was excited for her new role as accounts manager-cum- waitress, as her new designation, even if ad hoc, would allow more employers to check her profile and hence better chances of landing up on a new job. 'May be I would be a full time account manager in the next job'.
The day started. She had come early, all armed for serving the clients happily. Before anyone could come, she switched on the computer and set her favourite youtube songs playlist. An earphone was missing, but 'ha...its ok. Even the video will be awesome'. As the time gaining speed, the clients started pouring in.
"Two plain Sandwiches, Titania", "One hot Chocolate, please", "Yeah Hi, I would like to have a black coffee without sugar, can you let me have an ash tray ?" Requests for service had just started gaining speed. "Yes sir, your order would be coming in 10 minutes", was her usual reply, as the restaurant had promised a maximum 10 minutes waiting time for the customers.
Her youtube was still waiting for her to perform. The accounts computer had silently gone to sleep and there she was, doing her primary job. Even the Sun was done with his daily job. She was used to long hours of service, just that her colleague would assist her at times the load was high. But today, she was on her own fully. Her abs had started showing signs of fatigue, but they would have to patient for 2 more hours, as the cafe would close at 10 pm in the night.
The time had come for the cafe to take rest. Titania turned the status bar of the cafe from open to closed, and then picked up the cloth to clean up the tables and floors. Thought of a youtube playlist had died out and only a plain white bedsheet, spread on a spacious bed would strike her mind. But no, she had accounts to manage now. Whole day the computer had been waiting, and now his turn had come. For the next one hour, she would manage the accounts, making excel sheets for the day and calculating the net earning and any damage if encountered. By the end of it, she was already yawning and swinging her head in sleep.
She reached home 2 hours later than usual, meaning she would be having either hours less to sleep or 2 hours less from her life, talking to her boyfriend. She managed both, cutting 1 hour from sleep and one hour from her friend.
She slept, thinking that 'tomorrow, I shall have my earphones and will definitely grab some time for youtube.'
The new day has arrived, and her hopes are alive again, the hopes have filled her face with glow and smile. Let's hope she has her youtube session today.
