Inspection Day
(1) I yawned and gulped a bit more coffee as I stumbled into work at the pizza parlor that Saturday morning.  (2) I was so sleepy that I failed to notice that the parking lot was more crowded then usual.  (3) The sign on the door read “Closed Until 4:00.”  (4) That should have reminded me that this day would be different.  (5) But I didn’t remember until I saw the mops, buckets, and brooms and there was the upbeat music booming from the speakers.  (6) Today was inspection day.
(7) My boss Harry is the sort of man who can make even the most borring jobs seem fun.  (8) Today, however, he looked very serious.  (9) He insisted that the shop had to be spotless by the time the inspector arrived.  (10) But the twinkle in his eye suggested that he planned to make the work enjoyment.  
(11) Harry assigned jobs, he checked off each task on his clipboard.  (12) When he called my name, he looked up with a sly, mischievous smile.  (13) He said, “I have a very special job for you, Vanessa.  (14) He pointed at the large pizza oven.
(15) The inside of the oven was caked with the remains of every pizza that had been made since the last inspection.  (16) I wasn’t excited about cleaning it, but I knew I had no choice.  (17) Someone had to crawl inside to clean it.
(18) I grabbed the oven cleaner, rubber gloves, paper towels, and scrub brush and squeezed inside the oven.  (19) Quickly I went to work.  (20) I was surprised by how efficiently the oven cleaner ate through all the grime.  
(21) I was wearing a protective mask and safety goggles, so I didn’t have to worry about the fumes hurting my lungs or burning my eyes. (22) It was actually kind of fun to watch the remnants of all those pizzas just vanish!
(23) I scrubbed until the scrubbing job was finally done and finished.  
(24) You couldn’t have asked for a cleaner oven.  (25) However, my uniform was another story.  (26) After everybody had a good laugh about how silly I looked, Harry rewarded me by letting me go home early.  (27) I cleaned up and then decided to ask some friends to join me for dinner.  (28) But this was one night that I wasn’t interested in eating pizza!
