work and monotony

I know, I know...I haven't posted in a while. That's because I pretty much don't have anything new to share. It's not that I'm not busy, it's that I go from extreme boredom and non-business to being busy with work. It's an unending cycle! This coming week is the first week that I work a lot of hours...31 hours to be exact! Yesterday I worked my first 8 hour shift ever! I was totally exhausted by the end, but since it was Sunday the store was pretty busy which is nice cuz it makes the time go a bit faster. I'm getting the hang of using the cash register and can usually get through a few orders with no problems...until I accidentally punch in the wrong code for the produce or scan an item twice...then I have to call a checkout coach, so they're probably kind of tired of me...but oh well that's what they're there for.

It's so crazy, last night right before I went to bed, I could hear the sound of the scanner ringing up an item over and over and over again. I'm like AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T GET AWAY FROM IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm really glad I have this job, I can save for college and have some extra spending money! So life is pretty good right now.

    Heh, don't overwork yourself. And if things get *really* boring, start naming different countries and their capitals, (at least it works for me), it may pass the time.
