Robbie grabbed a breakfast sandwich from the microwave and poured milk into his hot coffee. Hanging over the kitchen sink, he snarfed the sandwich as fast as he could, washing down each bite with a sip of coffee. One glanced at his watch told him he needed to get moving if he didn’t want to be late again.
He paused as he headed toward the door, glancing at his gear piled in the corner of the living room. How long since he had played Lucille? Robbie pulled his cell phone from his pocket and sent a text to his boss.

How many missed days before the boss gets suspicious? If only we all had a bit more time to do the things we love…

The pull was too great…. at least he texted his boss, though I dunno that it will help in the long run!

LOL Yes, I think the job is in his rearview.

I like how he named the instrument. It shows how very important it is to him. More important than the job, anyway!

I guess more than a few musicians name their instruments. Glad you liked it.

Dear Jo,
I wonder if Lucille will be his undoing jobwise or the beginning of pursuit of his true self. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

It’s those little snatched moments that are the sweetest. Just don’t do it too often or the boss will be making his own notes – on Robbie’s timekeeping.
