Augh…my feet.

Body: Ow…ow…and more ow. You know those bad back pain commercials where they show a guy and he’s got like…lightning bolts shooting into his back? That’s me. Except it’s my lower back, my upper back, my neck, my shoulders, my feet, my knees, my head…etc., etc., etc.
Mood: Oh, scads better. I love this job. Even when I hate it, I love it. It’s so hard to explain. I hate cleaning the concession stand, and I had to do that today. But I love this job so much. Even when I was bummed at my break (at 11:00), I still loved my job. I couldn’t be happier with it, unless I was directing the movies.
Mentally: It’s nice to not have to think. Unfortunately, too much non-thinking makes me $9.50 short on my drawer (like yesterday) or $4.50 over on my drawer (like today). Bad news: got written up for the $9.50 short. Anything over $5 in either direction means a write-up. I just…don’t know how this crap happens. I need to be more careful, I guess. I’m just going to have to slow down and pay attention. Good news: I’ve been in the box office for 5 straight work days. I know that concessions is looming closer, but I’ve had the luck not to have to work it yet. Box office is my favorite, for reference.
And the other good news: I got a second job today. I’ll be waitressing lunch shifts at Chili’s. I’ve applied there about 85,000 times, but finally, Manda got me an interview and I was hired! Huzzah! I love waitressing and I’m sure I’ll love the tips. Sure, on some days, it may add 3 and a half hours of standing on my feet to an already long day, but really, it’s so much fun. And the tips…did I mention the tips?*good mood*
So…don’t expect to see a lot of me. I’m going to be busy with two jobs. *scared!*
