It's only day 2 and I'm axhausted. Work's actually been great. It's not so much the overused legs that get to me. What bugs me is the fact that I didn't have a good rest at night. I can't focus properly, I yawn a lot, I'm prone to making mistakes and I don't have a high tolerance of tired legs. I'm honestly fine with it considering I had to endure similar discomforts for 6 months of my life while working at Subway.

I'm so thankful that I'm surrounded by candy and all things sinful, and my supervisors and my colleagues are all really nice. Unlike Subway, I didn't have to deal with all the customers that came in and out. The only contact I have with people is when they've got something to ask. So compared to Subway, I have less annoying people to deal with. When I'm at work, I'm not annoyed like I am at Subway, I feel that everything that happens there is tolerable. Actually, the only thing I had to tolerate so far is my aching body from standing around for about 8 hours. I'm actually very happy, if only I didn't have a total lack of sleep.

On Sunday night, I couldn't really sleep because I was nervous about my first day and I only had about 5 hours of sleep or so. Which is completely understandable. But, I didn't have a good night's sleep on Monday night even though I was totally exhausted, and I went for yoga class after work that day. I thought I would just be knocked out the moment I hit my bed. But no... I didn't sleep until about 1am and I think I woke up earlier than 7. So, no amount of eye cream is going to get rid of my super dark circles and bags. *sigh*

The Tag Gun

I got to use a tag gun! Which is one of those things that you use to paste price tags and supplier information. When I was first introduced to the tag gun, I was excited because I've always wanted to use one of those. But, I overused it. I had boxes and boxes of junk to tag. Each item in the box had to be tagged. Supplier tags go at the back and price tags go in front of the bag. My first mistake: I pasted the supplier tag in front (for some strange unexplanable reason). I did that for 3 boxes of biscuits. So how? Unpack, tear and tag again. I was telling my sister that I'm going to have nightmares about the tag gun. In my dream, I will have a million boxes to tag and I will have a voice in my head telling me 'Supplier tag in front...'

Cashiering

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to be a cashier yet, which is good considering I would have miscalculated endless times. But I did get to help pack the items in a bag and weigh the pick 'n' mix! haha


Today, something interesting happened. The branch supervisor came to talk to me and asked me about my parents and my hobbies. (haha!) I ended up having a half an hour conversation with him about music! He was telling me about bands like Nirvana, Oasis, Live, Audioslave and a lot of other bands which I can't remember now. Guess what? He says he's going to loan me his CDs! How cool is that?!

We also talked about the most uncomprehendable genre of music: Techno. We both hate it with a passion. Like what's up with that?

Hmmm.. That's about all my brain can squeeze out right now. So today was a generally interesting and happy day. And I need sleep. Like now...
