It went pretty good! It just happens to be a good store. Only 4 hour shifts for part timers so it’s perfect for me. I’ll be happier to be on register and fronting/facing/doing go-backs (all terms I remembered from my old days of retail work!) than stocking shelves, only because my back hates me now from all the bending! Stocking shelves was fun mentally though, it was like a puzzle. All of the stock from the truck has to fit on the shelves somehow so it was a matter of Tetris-ing the stuff on there by moving other stuff around, condensing boxes, etc. It was good for a distraction as well, I had some bad dreams again so I was upset upon waking.

You have to find the perfect place for you though, somewhere that will accept short shifts for you and allow for your physical disabilities per ADA. You don’t need to be getting hurt! My SIL was able to get a job at a department store that allowed her to sit at the register to accommodate her disability. Unfortunately she got fired within a week because she doesn’t realize how insolent she sounds when responding to criticism sometimes! But her physical disability wasn’t a problem.

I just don’t want you to overwork and hurt yourself!
