My days are numbered
Every day is more and more numbers, so many of them it's mind boggling. Ever wonder what it would be like with no established numerical system, I have and it would be impossible to get by. I wake up in the at 6, get ready and go catch the 401 bus at 7 take it to down town and get off on 100th street and 101 Ave, walk down 102 Ave to 101 street to catch the 9 at 7:30. Then I get to school and walk to the tower, walk up 4 flights of stairs to locker 41106 and spin in 3 more numbers into the combination lock to open it up. Mondays I walk up 1 more flight of stairs to class 509 for computers where I have to enter in a password with more numbers to get on. After, I walk down to my locker, put in the combination, and grab the rest of the books I'll need for the day. The day finishes and again I catch the 9 to go downtown and get off on 101 street and 103 Ave, then walk down 102 Ave to get to 100 street to catch the 401 to get back home. If I work I have to spin in the combination to the safe, pull out a tray and count money until I have the right amount. I would go out and someone could buy a 6-pack for 11.19 and pay with a 20, I'd have to give them 8.81 change and send them on their way. Then I'd return to putting away the order where I have to count each case that is assigned a certain number to identify it and keep track of how many bottles I put in the back. Later I may have to count how much beer is on the rack so I can out the right amount in, 12, 15, and 18 pack cans can have 19 on the rack but if they're turn sideways they can only have 9, 7 and 6 respectively. 12 pack bottles can have 9 or 12 depending on how they're turned, and flats can have 6 with four 6-packs each. Big rock is different, it can only have 18 six-packs of bottles because they're bigger...Or was it 20 because they're smaller. The night of work ends and again I count my tray, and count that which I have left over to see how much I made in the night. After that I go home, go to bed, and do it all over again the next day.
