Days Inn hotel restaurant, downtown Portland

This wall clock is downright surreal, the way it looms over the cash register, washed out by a harsh, incandescent bulb. Imagine having to wait tables with time pushed into your face like this, a constant reminder of how many hours are left, how many tables, how many greasy plates.

I came to your blog via edbloggerspraxis and I'm glad I decided to visit. Your pictures and text set such a powerful tone--yes, I did imagine what it would be like to be waitressing and looking up at the clock with the incandescent light glowing! I'm trying my hand at blogging about family stories, including pictures, and I'm trying to find my style. I'll keep coming back here to read and learn!
