In the meanwhile

It's been an odd sort of day. The playing went very well. What made it odd was that the Sunday character came in while the manager was over the road, to say he'd be in on Monday. I felt immediately very upset and angry, so went outside to cool off. When I saw the manager I told him what had happened, and that I wouldn't be in on Monday either. I felt quite miserable about it. Shortly afterwards the manager told me that he'd phoned the person to say he wouldn't be needed. That did cheer me up. I will be playing on Monday after all.
