Show day 2

I was staring at glossy walls of glass and giant metal support beams. A red carpet covered the floor and the sun beamed down through the ceiling. I heard cell phones, black suits everywhere and could hear the rumble of business all around me.

It was the second day of the show. I had made it back to the hall and felt the slight sensation of déjà vu. Yesterday was but a dream. The booth was flawless, inviting and ready for round two.

As the day went on, I got new assignments. I made a few important phone calls and arranged for a couple catering changes. Refilling the water dispensers proved to be a difficult task for someone wearing high heels. Then again, I actually knew where room 3B01 was and had no problem with the coffee. Just as the day before, the booth was buzzing with activity. The meeting rooms were full and things were running smoothly. I made sure the giveaways were stocked and the coffee area looked neat.

By the end of day two, my legs and feet were throbbing. I felt relieved because the job was over. Working the show floor requires plenty of effort; however, I couldn’t help feel a little sense of sadness because my first show was officially over.
