Getting High At Work


"Let's go in here," he said, pointing to the walk-in freezer. We entered the freezer and he loaded the bowl. He took a hit and handed me the bong. I sat down on a large box of frozen french fries and took a hit. As soon as we opened the freezer door I heard my name.

"Hey Tommy, we need some help up here!" It had gotten busy all of sudden and they needed help in the front. As I walked towards the register, the weed started kicking in. Now I was feeling a little paranoid. Crap. All these customers are going to know I'm high.

"Um. Hi, may I take your order?" I said to a hot middle-aged lady. Did she just wink at me? It seemed like she knew what was up. The next thing I knew, I was standing at the fryer where the fries were cooking.

That’s weird. I don't remember walking here. Ok, she needs fries. Stay cool. No one knows you’re high. I somehow managed to get the order together. I looked out at the crowd of hungry customers waiting in line. They must know I'm high. Or maybe they don't. Just stay cool Tommy. Keep it together.
