so work's over with for now. wee. i got to leave half an hour early because things started to slow down, so the manager was like, "go home, go have fun." so i clocked out and left. i also got next week's schedule, and i have a lot of hours. basically, i work five times a week, eight hours a day. more or less. which is very good, cos it gives me much money.

i get my first check friday, but only the work i did yesterday, today, and tomorrow will be on it. plus, i have monday and next sunday off.

today was a much better work day. heh. maybe it won't be as awful as i feared. but i'm gonna run off for now. i'm probably (and hopefully!) going to go out with a friend of mine tonight, which will be very nice. g'night!

9:16 AM

i had my first day of work yesterday, and right now i should be getting ready to go in for my second, but the world stops for journal updates! i work at a mcdonalds nearby; yeah, i'm quite aware of all of the stereotypes. but this isn't by choice. i'm only working there because the job i really wanted wouldn't let me work full-time, and i have to have some money in order to pay for my rent. so, as much as i despise it, i have to work someplace.

it's actually not as bad as it probably could've been. i have a new-found respect for fast-food workers. i've never been so stressed out in my life. i had to work from eleven am until five pm, so i got to experience the full glory of lunchtime madness. and, as half the other workers said, lunchtime on a friday is a very bad time for a new worker to begin training.

but i think i did all right. i have to work in the back for a few days, putting the hamburgers together (thank GOD i'm not doing the grill.), but it's only for a few days, and then i get moved up to the register. which will be much better, i suppose.

but! i made about thirty-five dollars yesterday. i beamed with pride when i read the clock-out receipt. thirty-five dollars that i earned completely by myself. my work, my blood, my burns from renegade hamburger meat. it made me proud of myself that i got that money on my own. it makes me proud of myself that that money is going to go towards paying for my house, which i also have on my own. or at least half of it.

but now i've got to run, because i have to go get dressed and such. maybe today i'll be working on the register. i can only hope, because the food-handling scares me. but ohwell, it's money either way, and money is a thing that i think i need to have right now.

have a great day, everyone.
