Work!
Walmart finally has me working again. This is good, because I need the money very badly, and because I was kind of getting bored and crabby sitting at home with nothing do do*. This is bad, because . . . well, when was the last time YOU spent eight hours inside a Walmart?

It's led to a strange realization, though: even though I traditionally hate getting up early, I would much rather work the 7-4 opening shift than the 2-11 closing shift. Sure, I have to get up at six in the morning, but I get home by dinner time and I can spend the evening doing whatever I want. If I started work at 2, I wouldn't really be able to relax the same way. There would certainly be less wine involved.



* My definition of 'nothing' includes: learning how to sew; failing TWICE at making meringues; cooking shitloads of meals, including the world's best refried beans and some homemade tortillas; plus the usual knitting, spinning, and reading. I do not do 'idle' very well.

The gal is downright cheerful at 6 AM. I ask you, cause for concern, right? Reaching refried bean Nirvana really made an impact on Summa. Buy Wally World stock, it couldn't hurt..... :)

Congratulations and welcome to the ranks of People Who Can't Siddown and Take It Easy. If you can't work, at least you loaf productively!

But I'm glad you got work again, and I admire your fortitude in agreeing to eight hours at Wallyworld. Shall I send a wreath and a bottle of Tylenol after a month or so, or will you be okay?

Thanks. I'll be okay--I'm hoping that having the money coming in will help with some of the dismay from the actual work. (I haven't gotten enough paychecks yet to be able to say either way, but here's hoping.)
