Perfect Timing

Unless it is a busy floral holiday, only one sales associate is needed at the branch flower shop. I had been taking orders for corsages and boutonnieres all day yesterday, but after school was dismissed, eight or so high school students came into the store to place orders. They had been there only a minute, when the president of the company walked it. I commenced taking the first order, when an elderly gentleman entered. My boss offered to help him and wrapped a beautiful red rose and completed the sale. When the computer was free, I continued taking orders. The phone rang once, and our delivery man knocked on the back door. Slow and steadily, I entered the orders into the computer. The owner could not have come into the store at a better time! The store was full of customers and I was working efficiently to assist them. Makes me smile.
