I got sent home from work early today, because our production line went down.
The machine responsible for producing metal sheets broke down and the mechanic couldn’t fix it.
The shift supervisor didn’t want to call it a day, but he didn’t want to pay everyone to sit around either. We got sent home early. I didn’t have my house keys, but I expected my roommate to be home. I didn’t think it would be a problem until I got back to the apartment and realized no one was there. I went to the office to retrieve a spare key. Unfortunately, the locks have been changed since the last time the apartment had a key to our place and the key did not unlock my apartment. The temperature outside was extremely hot and sunny and the weather was humid. It was 93 degrees outside. I called my roommate to bring me a house key. He couldn’t leave work, so I had to wait until his lunch break. I sat outside in the heat and the sun for almost 2 hours waiting on the patio. From now on, I’m going to work hard not to forget my house key. By the time my roommate got back, all I wanted to do was sit in front of the air conditioner. I stripped down to my boxers and sat in front of the air conditioner for an hour. When I started to feel a chill, I put on some clothes. I still spent most of the night finding ways to sit directly under the air conditioner vent.
