Not Enough Fridays In A Week

I love my job. I truly do. I get the opportunity to talk with people and eight times out of ten, I get to help them with their problems. Which isn't to say that I don't have a lot of excitement in my job. A few months ago I had an appointment with a couple in the country out by where I live. The address is out in the middle of no where, and since I do not have what is known as a sense of direction, I wasn't sure if I was at the right address for my appointment. I was just getting ready to call the gentleman when someone stepped out of his barn, covered in blood from forehead to feet. Not a smear or two, but soaked right through covered in blood. The woman that came out behind him was just as bloody. I could actually see the headline in my mind : WOMAN MISSING-POLICE BAFFLED!! I locked my car door and picked up my phone. At first he looked puzzled. Then he said, "Are you Milissa?" I didn't care if he knew my name, better safe than sorry. I said, "Maybe." He was still puzzled as he looked at me until he glanced down at himself and said, "Oh, honey, you're okay. We had a cow break a leg in the field and we had to butcher it. You're okay, come on out." I made sure that my phone was all set to dial 911 and that the signal was strong. I stepped out of the car and his wife apologized for the mess. They asked if it was okay to have the meeting right there and I told them that was fine. Frankly, I didn't want to go inside any building with them. Again, better safe than sorry. I ended up taking care of what they needed, and have even seen them a couple times when they weren't looking like extras from Friday the Thirteenth part XXIII-Jason Runs out of Stupid People to Kill and we always laugh about the first time we met. But there are times when Friday cannot get here fast enough. My brother always tells me that Friday is just a phone call away, but I have this silly work ethic that keeps me from just setting around. Plus I haven't been able to figure out a way to pay bills without money. If I do, I'll let you know and you can thank me later.
