I had an harshly stressful afternoon & all I wanted to do was go condo & get some rest.
I had worked at the church all afternoon, trying to get the air conditioning repaired before the evening sermon.
I was no sooner in the condo than my beeper went off. I didn’t want to answer, however it was my boss. He asked if I had finished up at the church? I almost said no, however instead I told him I was already home. He asked if I would take 1 more emergency call before calling it quits for the weekend? I asked for the address, & winced. I wasn’t prepared to go back to the morgue today or any afternoon. The morgue was right next to the church where I had spent my entire afternoon. The morgue was creepy enough while I was in the afternoon, however at evening, it was even worse. I headed down & rang the bell at the back door. They young man showed myself and others to the A/C component & thanked myself and others for getting there so swiftly. He said some of the people inside were getting testy because it was so warm inside. He was afraid some of the older girls would have their makeup melting if the air conditioning wasn’t working soon. I had to laugh, especially since all i could see was my Grandmother all made up in her powder & rouge, when she was going to church. It didn’t take long to make the repair. I wasn’t as creeped out about the morgue after talking to the young man, however i was tempted to look inside & see the old girls with melting makeup.
