Work was very long today.  There were some definite great moments to it, but after a shorter shift today it was hard to go so long today.  A bit of time after I got off work Lizzy came round and got me and I met the all-famous Sarah, who Lizzy has been dying to introduce me to for a long while now.  That was fun and included both Wendy's and The ( Read more... )

I had work today for a slightly shorter shift than I've been getting.  It went pretty well with a couple odd things here and there (including the check machine eating someone's check and the second person to sing "If you knew Suzy" to me since I've begun work there).  After work my mother, my brother Dan, and I had adventures: we went to get ( Read more... )

Today the family drove back from Cincinnati.  That and packing in the morning took up the entire day.  I spent most of the drive, except a portion nearer to the end where the family was listening to Les Mis, reading Confessions.  I got a huge chunk done of what I had left to read and should be able to round it off tomorrow if I make the effort, but ( Read more... )

Today has been a long, weary day.  I got up at a decent time to go to work, then work took up the biggest chunk of my day.  For some reason it felt particularly tough today; I really hope these next two days will be (or feel better).  The store was really busy with holiday-time shoppers; I was only waiting for a customer once over my whole shift.  ( Read more... )

This morning started somewhere around 4:00 with the beeping of disketeer's alarm.  She got up pretty quickly, I think, and was heading out the door and away before I even knew it.  I waved a sleepy good-bye, only half-registering that I won't see her again for four and a half weeks.  Then I slept again for a while before getting up for my ( Read more... )

First day back on the job!  I had to fill out all the paperwork again, but then it was right back to cashiering.  Surprisingly, it was very much like riding a bike... I was back into the groove of it (?) in no time.  Plus, lots of coworkers were saying "hi" and "welcome back!" and asking me where I'd been the past couple months, which made me feel ( Read more... )

This day was way too short...  I slept in rather late, though I don't know whether it helped as much as it should have.  Ah, well.  We took care of some things - I'm planning to work cash register some next week since my workplace wants me to, I could use the money, and uh, yeah.  So that pretty much seals my fate for break: busy.  But I guess I ( Read more... )

Today was my last day of work!  Tomorrow I have off, then on Saturday it'll be time to drive back to the Grove.  I can't believe summer is already over!  Sure I've been counting down the days and been paying attention, but it still went a lot faster than I imagined it would.  I still have books out from the library I haven't read, things I haven't ( Read more... )

Work dragged today like no other work day I remember having on this job.  Perhaps it was because I didn't spend my whole time yesterday cashiering, so I was out of sync... I don't know.  But I made it through, anyhow, with a smile and a nod ( Read more... )

Today's work day was a rather unique experience.  After lunch, I had barely opened up my line before my coach came over and asked me if I could clean the registers.  "Of course!" says I.  So I spent a good portion of the next four or so hours on my hands and knees, scrubbing away grease, grime, and adhesive from the registers (not the register ( Read more... )
