Sorry for not updating yesterday for the people who are actually curious. My first day of work was... was.....

HORRIBLE. D:>

I'm a part-timer, and yesterday I had to work a grand total of nine hours and fifteen minutes. Picking up and opening boxes, then rotating items so the oldest ones face out (because, of course, the people have to buy the older ones before they can buy newer ones), walking back and forth between isles, and packing crates onto carts... My feet were in so much pain when I got home. I had to run back to the store after work to pick up some new shoes, with gel in the heels. Today, my feet didn't hurt as bad, but they still hurt.

Work today wasn't so bad. I was hired, first of all, by my mom's brother-in-law, Eugene. He makes all the orders, so I don't have to worry about that. Working under him is the full-time backstocker, Rita, who's been training me and showing me around. Rita drove me down to the Wal-Mart in Central City today (which really isn't that hard to get to), and we worked there for about four hours. Hard work there. But then we went to a Kroger in Powderly, and got a lot done in about three hours, and I was a lot more productive down there, probably because most of my items were on the floor, and I was able to sit down most of the time. Rita said I did a good job cleaning the floor with my ass. :XD:

Anyway, tomorrow, Rita has the day off, but unfortunately, I do not. I'll be working by myself, hitting both Owensboro Wal-Marts. I'm a little worried about my capabilities, but, Eugene told me I shouldn't take but three hours, so if I come in at 8AM like I usually do, I should be done by lunch. So, Sara, Kristin, I should be able to make it to Art Club. I hope both of you can, too. Wish me luck, everybody.

If I actually finish up when I say I do. I've never actually loaded the carts myself; Rita always does that. So I'm worried I might place something incorrectly on the cart and potentially DESTROY something.

welcome to work XP 9 hours seems to be the norm when it comes to part-time, I feel sorry for those full-timers though. But you do have a rather labor-intensive (maybe intensive is too strong a word) job that has you on your feet most of the time, and I did that food-rotation job you're doing, but for a select few food brands for an hour (it was a side thing), so I basically know how you feel.

After your first week.. you shouldnt' feel your feet 8D so that's good?

I'm working purely for Nabisco, so yeah. Tomorrow's gonna be nothing, though; I called Eugene, all I have to do is straighten items on the shelves and displays, and fill up the shelves that need more on them with backstock. I shouldn't be long at all.

He also told me that I shouldn't have to worry about another nine-hour day for awhile; this was just to get me used to the job and train me.

D: That'd be like what it feels to have both feet fall asleep. I'd never. walk. again. It'd be absolutely impossible!!

lol Putting old before new is called stock rotation. lol XD

Tsktsk, ranting about your job. Well, I suppose everyone does when it comes to it. XD

Awwww, I've bought somenew shoes and they've been killing my feet for work too. And my feet and ankles are very sensitive, so they hurt a lot. It sucks seriously. Though I had offers from many to rub my feet. lol XD Want your feet rubbing Zach? XD

I do commissions for any of you that may be interested. It's usually manga, though I've been drawing furries for people too. Don't be a stranger now ^^
