Workday 01 · The Signing
Thursday · 5:40 PM
A visiting author arrives forty minutes early wanting things Noreen didn't promise. The register still has to be staffed, and eighty people are on their way.
Workday 02 · Nothing To Do
Tuesday · 9:55 AM
A quiet morning, one lingering regular, and a phone order that isn't as simple as it sounds. The hard part is deciding what's actually worth your attention.
Workday 03 · What It Costs
Sunday · 4:10 PM
Wren asks you to cover again. This time saying yes means giving something up that actually matters to you, and saying no might cost her more than a shift.
Practice steps
Choose a step that fits your situation. Mark a step when you have tried it in a setting that fits your life — at work, in a class, while volunteering, caregiving, in your community or in a practice conversation. Nobody is grading this.
