Black Tuesday

Just another un-ordinary day at work. I got a call this morning to pick up some paint. Then the boss and I spent the morning driving around town to find stencils to put letters on the wall. Finally found some so off to work I go.

I am putting letters at the end of every row of pens in the barn I work. That way we will know which row and animal is in.

Everything was going very well and I was so pleased with myself not making a mess. Ever notice that as soon as you get puffed up about something that you get the wind knocked out of your sails?

Well, it happened, I was preparing to move the paint can when it fell out of my hands. Black paint everywhere. I cleaned up as best I could with paper towels but the floor was still a mess.

As I walked to the front of the barn with a bag full of soiled paper towels I was trying to figure out how to tell the boss. But he was there and there was no place to hide the evidence....especially with black hands.

Boss took one look at me and asked if I needed more paint. Fortunately, I did not. I am so blessed to have such an understanding boss. He has yet to get mad at me.....that I know about.

I have more painting to do tomorrow so hopefully all will go well.
