This is what work should be like!

Most of you know that every morning when I wake up, the first question I ask myself is "Wait, what day is it?" Then I figure out if I have school (Yay!!) or work (eh...).
Today was a work day, so naturally I stayed in bed as long as I could possibly get away with and not be late.
 But, today was not a typical work day for me. When I arrived (on time) one of my managers said to me, "Vicki, today you're going to color on the sidewalk."
I said, "Ok. Um... wait, what?"
I had been up way past my bedtime the night (morning?) before and was trying my best to stay focused, and being given artistic grant for a project took me off my guard.
We stood outside in front of the store and she handed me a flyer and showed me where they wanted this chalk drawing. Sure it was only to advertise for our classes, but it was something that made me feel that, yes, they did listen when I said, "You know, I go to art school, I can draw, too."
As I got comfy with my Crayola sticks, customers walked in and out and commented things like "Well, don't you have the fun job today?" and "Looking good" and some even asked for more information about the classes. A couple people asked where my tip jar was. Sadly I was not allowed to put out a tip jar since I was already getting paid.
I had fun and can't wait until they trust me with another project again.

I would liked to have  put more flower doodles in the 50% off area,
but I was told I was done....ppfffttt!
