Well, I started my job at the Bean today: I'm a cashier! I liked the cashier-ing part, it's pretty simple just swiping everyone's cards, then counting the money. It's even better than working at Baskin Robbins! But as usual I don't like the cleaning up part at the end, the sweeping and mopping. And I wasn't expecting to work as long as I did. I was told I'd be done before 8, but I ended up leaving at 8:30 because I told the supervisor that I had homework to do (which I will do after I post this). Hopefully I won't be doing shifts of much longer than 3 hours, except maybe if it's on a weekend. I don't know, I'm still trying to get a feel for timing on everything. But for a first day I worked from 4 to 8:30, and my official pay is $7.25 an hour, so overall it's not bad at all. But like I said, my MAIN priority is studying and doing well in my classes, so in the end I probably won't work very much, which is fine.
Anyway, that's pretty much it, so I'm going to get down to my homework: reading and taking the quiz online over the chapter, then researching for my paper. My plan is to write about food and culture (in America), the history of it, how and why it changed, and what it could mean for the future. Should be fun to research and write about. That kind of stuff just interests me. ^_^
Peace, love, and blessings!
About Me
- Veggy Christian
- I'm an English PhD and Women's Studies student, recovered from anorexia through the love and patience of God and the healing power of a mystic relationship with Jesus Christ and a (raw) vegan lifestyle. I'm an anarchist and a minimalist--I do not believe in government and I hate owning and feeling attached to stuff--so most of the time I'm thinking of how to give things away. I believe in honoring ALL life and all of God's creation, taking care of the environment, animals, and people to the best of my ability, and so as an expression of my love of God and Christ I am a (raw) vegan, mystic, anarchist, ecofeminist.

Hi baby girl - congrats on the new job. After reading your blogs I have many, many comments for you, but I first have to organize my thoughts. I think you need to become friends with someone who is struggling with their overweigh issues!! More later, and remember.. even though you acted like a spoiled brat in our first meeting "REMEMBER :)" I still love you. Looking forward to visiting you in the not to distant future.. and remember, you'll always have a home in Miami whenever you need a break. Love you, Mercy
Read it baby!! Will get back to you soon. Love, Dad
That's awesome you got the job! Being cashier is always the best part of the job. To me it seems so regimented that it almost gives me time to think. That sounds strange, but I feel like I can have my mind on other things when I am actually ringing someone up! Good luck!
