First Day at Work!

Today was my first day at work. I am going to attempt to make this short as I am hurting pretty bad. The pain level is definitely decreasing though so that is great. I went in today at 1pm. Everything was going pretty good until around 3pm we had Copenhagen fall behind the shelving. We had to move it out. One of the guys came up behind me to help stepped in front of me so inevitably I stepped back. As I did, I went to fall... And the guy caught me or I caught him something.. but saved my ass. But not so much the 20 12 packs behind me. Apparently when he stopped to help, he was on his way through to go stalk the shelves. So I picked up the 4 cases that my ass knocked off... EMBARASSING.. So I had to continue since my boss was right there. My boss didn't say a word... So I moved on and brushed it off. Till my boss was helping the guy stalk the shelves and one of the 12 packs had busted. I mean honestly, he should not had parked that many 12 packs half a step behind me... So my lesson is to turn around, not just step back.

A little later my mother comes through the drive through with my son and little brother. My son informs me that he poopooed on the potty. This is absurd. I have been attempting to potty train my kiddo forever. He has never done anything but pee on the potty, and now I am working and he conquers this big goal and I wasn't even there to take pictures!!! Then my little brother decides to start crying because he wants to go to work with me, saying I will work, PLEASE let me come work with you! Priceless!! But sad, cuz they are in drive through and I am inside, couldn't hug either of them... TEAR!

So my feet were hurting pretty much all day, but if I kept moving, the pain was easily forgettable. So training is over. I go back to work on Sunday at 9am. Not looking forward to being there at 9am. But hey I really do need this job.

Of course then the gas pumps all went down and this annoying beeping would not shut up. Then we had thunderstorms and the electricity went out. Of course the owner likes money and we kept working and selling...

Once I got out of work, I went and had a drink at the bar. It is nice having a bar in the same building. Helped me relax a little more.

So many people have no faith that I will continue with this job. Sadly, if I didn't need a job, I wouldn't stay, but I do. So I am going to stay strong and make it here. I can conquer all of these different things. Even though I do not feel as well as I did when I said I can reach for the stars, I still can, I still will. I have nice fellow employees, a boss that as long as you do what he asks and do not undermine him you will be okay. All you have to do is shake off what he tells you and just do what he asks. Not to much to ask for.

So at the end of today, I am exhausted. I am actually about to head to bed and cuddle with my Monkey. So with that said please keep praying for me and healing and strength within my feet. I need this job more than many people may know. Til next time!
