Gas stations and NON-boredom
Today I got to do something interesting at work. Our store has a gas station, and someone needs to be manning the booth there at all times. Today, I got to man the booth while the person who was sitting there took his lunch break. Basically, you sit there and if there's a major gas leak or a fire starts then you press a button to turn off all the pumps and call the right people to the scene. That and help the very occasional customer who needs help - if any ever do. My supervisor said it was really a pretty boring job, but I'm the type of person who can sit for hours with nothing to do and keep my mind occupied (I often do this during long car trips). Thus, I actually quite enjoyed the 45 minutes I got to man the booth - it gave me a chance to sit down, use only a small piece of my brain on actual paying attention, and yet still get paid for my time.
Beyond that, I got some reading done today, some studying done today, and even managed to accomplish something sort of important in the pbp today! Too bad tomorrow starts early.
Only 11 days to go!
