Apples and Oranges

By Anitsirk

I thought I'd blip something else other than my usual bouquet binding chore: our large table with produce.
Customers, flowers and taking cuttings from geraniums; that's been my day.
I'm so tired... One of the reasons are our new supervisor... the one I told you about yesterday. I have a scheduled break, where I can leave and go be on my own. This is much needed, so I can function both during my work hours and after. Today I went to a bench under a tree, with my smoothie, to sit, relax and listen to music. I new I had time for about 3 tunes before I needed to be back. I had time to listen to half a tune before the supervisor came and started talking to me. I sat there wondering what to say, not to be rude, but to be left alone. I said nothing about it, just talked and laughed... And then my break was over and I was even more tired... 
When I came inside again, I meet my boss (my supervisor) and asked if she had a moment. She did and I told her my problem. I also told her I had nothing agains our new super. That he's kind, funny and spreads good energy, but he's a tornado and I need tools to be able to be left alone. She said she'd speak to him. His last group had different issues that ours, so he needs tools too, to adjust. I told her I'd wondered if I'd find a bench further up in the park, or I go into the 'Hobbit home' (an earth cellar) to be alone and we had a laugh about me not coming out until the afternoon and everybody wondering where I was. Anyway, it was good that my super is going to talk to him, without mentioning me. And if it happens again, I'm just going to say that I need my alone time to recharge. 

I haven't done much after work. Resting... now bed.
