Welcome to the wonderful world of adulthood
Life has become a frenzy of work, money, trying to find my own place and those trifling wee troublesome things like sleeping and eating. While I thoroughly miss the enjoyment of consuming delicious food and properly appreciating it, I find myself shoveling half a jar of olives and frozen/dried fruit into my mouth while topping it off with a hardy third of a box of oreos. The future has fallen into a rut where only stockbrokers are interested in me professionally.
There really isn’t a whole lot to complain about really, when you look at it from a short term point of view. I am no longer working in the Specialty department at Petsmart - I have requested and been granted a permanent position in State Line Tack (the horse section). This section is extremely less demanding than the former, as a matter of fact, most days I have to try to find something to do. I now rejoice when there is a pallet of things for me to stock the shelves with, or a stack of price changes to make. Managers are afraid of SLT and steer WAY clear for fear of being asked a question by a customer. If they had spent any amount of time in my section, they would come to the swift conclusion that most every customer that comes into the section don’t need help. Since we’re usually scheduled alone (no need when there’s hardly anything to do), I’ve found myself attacking customers and clinging to them for companionship as well as refolding and reorganizing the entire section of children’s breeches, becoming enthusiastic when customers come by and move anything out of place.
The frenzy of work has slowed down considerably, just like the pressure to juggle everything necessary in aquatics. Suddenly I don’t dread work nearly as much, nor am I stressed out when I return home. This was an excellent opportunity.
Now all I have to do is find a career, an apartment, etc..
