This was nice as I actually did need to leave to clean my room, a project that has been taking longer than any normal clean-up would be, but I also needed the last hour of work. My hours have been shortened. Besides, the closing hour is always my favorite. I hate being denied it when I've worked an entire day.
But I also hate being affirmative apparently.
When Kaleigh posed that she take the rest of the hour, I offered that we rock paper scissors to see who stays.
Now, I don't mean to brag, but this might have been unfair because I'm pretty in tune with the logic of rock-paper-scissors. I can guess what the next person will put out simply by logic and, of course, tapping into the psychic universe.
But I think Kaleigh has the same gift because we kept getting the same thing.
How did we come to the conclusion then?
I thought aloud how I should leave but how I wanted to stay until Kaleigh was either too frightened by this insane girl saying things like, "But if you stay then I lose the hour and I need an hour this week because I lost some. But it's almost closing time. I think you would want to stay--" or she realized that she was wasting her time by standing there listening.
Either way, I got that golden closing hour.
I guess I need to just resort to my insanity before using rock-paper-scissors to control people.
