I’m Back

I called my friend at work for a shift change. I haven’t talked to her in months, and this is the conversation that we had:

Redford: “Hey, what up? How’s it going?”
Kirstyn: ”Not bad, boring here.”
R: “Really? I thought this lot’s busy.”
K: “Surprisingly, not today.”
R: “Say…would you be interested in switching shifts on May 18th? I’m working the day shift and you’re working the night shift.”
K: “But it says here that you’re working Area 11.”
R: “What? On mine it says Area 29 day, did the schedule change?”
K: “I don’t know, but, Redford’s working Area 29, and you’re working 11.”
R: “What? I’m Redford.”
K: “Oh…..OH! OH MY GOD! REDFORDDDDD!!!!”
R: “You didn’t know it was me?”
K: “Nooooooo…I thought you were Melky.”

Yes, I’m back at the parking lot. Yes, I’m also going back to school tomorrow too. I believe the best way to sum up how I’m feeling right now is with this:

"We have to go back to The Island, Kate!"

I guess you can say that The Island isn’t done with me yet…
