tiring, exhausting, tedious, but at least im still learning something, and more importantly im getting paid (some people appreciate experience more, but i prefer money thanks lol). so yea, its pretty hectic work. fairly simple job, easy to do tasks and whatnot, but its just.. so.. much.. its like math homework, you know the formula, you know how to do it all, but there are so many questions to do..
part of the reason im so tired after work everyday is thanks to my extremely uncomfortable shoes. its tiring enough having to stand around for 10 hours without having wooden planks for soles. well at least today i got a new pair of shoes, pretty expensive, but damned comfortable. hopefully this week wont leave my feet dead.
so what exactly am i doing? im doing "FOH" work, lobbying, whatever (FOH being front of house). i walk around clearing and cleaning tables, tending to customers, and occasionally taking out the trash. thats not even half the responsibilities of a normal barista. iv yet to learn anything behind the counter, for instance actually making the coffee. that starts this week.. hai...
funny thing, after constantly greeting customers coming in and out of the shop, iv developed a strange habit. when i see a customer come in i greet them with a polite nod saying "hello, good morning/afternoon/evening!" and of course smiling all the while. now i find myself doing the same to anyone who makes eye contact with me, regardless of the fact im no longer on duty. its becoming a subconcious action. hahahahai..... im tired.
time for bed.
