Tim hung up the phone and quickly clapped his hands with delight. He had never been quite this excited before. He had just finished a very important conversation with his boss, Steve.
He stopped clapping and looked around.
"Hooray!" he screamed suddenly and at the top of his lungs, "I'm finally going to wait on my first table tonight!" A little bit of spittle clung to the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were wild and slightly glazed. His hair was a tumult and his glasses askew. He looked quickly over the room.
Tim grabbed the person nearest to him, and looked intently into his eyes.
"Did you hear me?" he mouthed inaudibly, "Did you hear me?"
The man nodded hurriedly and looked down at his feet.
Everyone in the gym locker room looked at him uncomfortably.
Tim, not noticing, jolted out of the locker room without his pants on. A line of toilet paper was still attached to one of his shoes.
He power walked confidently away to his car knowing that his big break had finally come.
"No one will ever laugh at me again," he whispered harshly to himself.
