Imagine that you're stuck someplace you really don't want to be, and you're also in excruciating pain.
Well, that was me at work today, for four hours straight. Within my first hour on the job I found out that it was that lovely time of month again, and not several minutes later came the cramps... which only got worse as the day pressed on. Usually I'm all smiles with customers, but it was REALLY hard to fake happiness when it felt like my abdomen was being squeezed in the hands of the world's strongest man. I tried to tough it out until 3, but after texting mom she just suggested I go home and rest.
Glad I did. Money is money, but suffering's a horse of an entirely different color.
Also, that staffing agency called back and said that the credit check went just fine. They're going to look over my resume next, and they'll let me know when that's done as well.
(Good, because I want out of OfficeMax ASAP.)
