Helplessness is a controling monster...

Well, today I finished my first full day as Cashier...woo-hoo *Blow noisemaker...THrow confetti...* >_> Did both normal and Express Lanes...nothing special happened...During my break, I talked to my Noob Cashier buddy and talked in the rain. We talked about everything and nothing. We swapped training stories and weird customers. She told me the story of how one person sounded like Kermit the Frog...Very interesting. It is good to have someone who is going through the same things as you. Then my fellow noob cashier and I teamed up in a lane...me bagging, and she cashiering. My supervisors are awesome too.

Aftr work, I stayed outside for a while and listened to the rain...very nice. Next week, I start the long shifts...Monday I work 12noon to 8pm...that should be interesting...One of the cool things, is that, I have yet to hear a annoying song played throughout the store. Once, I was humming a song, and in the middle, that exact same song played...funky. Three Phil Collins songs played today...that made me happy.

I like going to the break room...it is quiet and had good free food. But the walk there is the best part. After I sign out of my register, I go through the produce section which has many loverly smells and sights, and after that, I go through the Bakery which also has many wonderful smells...then through the COFFEE area...I pause and take a DEEP breath. Then I continue and through the back area...very cool, but cold. Then I make it to the peaceful area of the break room...

I usually don't like to take break...I don't know what to do for all of that time. Usually by the time I go out to my car to look for missing calls on my cell phone, I have a whole 13 minutes to spare...so I grab a drink from the vending machine outside, and wait till 5 minutes till break time is done..and I wait by the time clock till time is done....then I rush back to my post...and resume cashiering.

Well, that is my life so far...I know a few people...and am getting to know more.

Tomorrow, I go to the SATs...>_< I HATE the SAT...why? because it has math...and I hate math with a passion. That is all that is interesting for tomorrow...so....yeah.
It is almost Dec 2nd...another 7 minutes.


It is annoying when helplessness sets in..it is a controlling monster. We can't do anything about it...when people very close to me suffer, I suffer too. Not in the same way, but I still suffer.

Well, I think that is all I have to say.

Ciao.

Helplessness is terrible. But we're never helpless for too long, are we?

I'm glad you like your job. That's wonderful. :)

Kermit? Where Kermit?
