Day 37: Today, eat and run

Day 37

Today, I’m supposed to eat and run.

This is also the day I start my job at McDonald’s. This isn’t going to go well.

But I actually manage. Technically. Since it’s my first day, I get my lunch for free.

I’m working at the register. It’s not bad. It’s pretty easy, customers are friendly and don’t mind that I’m a little slower than the other cashiers.

The register is the only thing I do today—I know that I’ll learn assembling the food for the customer and how to make coffee, but that’s not for my first day.

The only sucky part is that I’m there 8 hours. And I learn I’m scheduled for 8 hours for the next 3 days too.

When I finish, my feet hurt so much.

I’ll get used to it, I know. But for now, ow.

I get home, and I’m greeted by Mike. That’s nice.

We go to see a movie. MacGruber. I thought it would be pretty good ‘cause I like the SNL sketch, but it really wasn’t. There were funny parts, but that didn’t make it a good movie.

I manage to sleep better tonight. That’s good.

A year later, and the only other thing I can do is make the coffee.

well, sort of. I can do the entire front end, fill orders, make fries, make ice cream, but I haven't yet been trained on making food.

also, feet still hurt.
