One AM Break
PG does not always know when he has it good. It is breaktime, in a midtown office tower. PG is in an abandoned cubicle, away from the infomercials of the break room TV. He has a tupperware box with four slices of cold pizza. He has … the third shift manager just told him to get out of the cubicle. You can go anywhere but in this room … but that doesn’t steal his joy. There is a gatorade bottle with a quart of water, and a book of short stories by Hank Chinaski. The hero of tonight’s tale just got out of the hospital. His GF ran up a tab of $13.75 at the favorite liquor store.
The new hangout desk has better lighting than the other place, but the chair is not as comfortable. Eventually, it was time to go back to work. Later, some people were talking about Paula Deen, and her troubles. PG said that one of her sons is supposed to be gay. Maybe this is who the plantation wedding was going to be for.
