Yesterday I started my second job. It was very easy. Registers are apparently digital now so everything was set up on the touch screen and very easy to find. Not too many people, I only got flustered once when someone couldn’t decide on what balloons to get and kept changing her mind. The person behind her was getting very impatient (don’t blame her). I do get stressed when there’s a long line because I don’t like to get snapped at for something that’s not my fault. But in general I actually liked talking with people. There’s a new ban on single use bags here in NJ and it’s difficult to remember to bring your own, especially into stores that you end up buying way more than expected! But most people are taking it in stride and joking about it. I personally keep a folded up bag in my satchel bag but even so I sometimes forget to put it back in after I use it!
Since I have to put things away I’m learning the dollar store actually has way more practical stuff than I realized. And they have these really cute lemon dishes that I think I will buy! Last year when we moved here I wanted to set up a lemon theme in the kitchen but there were no lemon things at the time. Now there are, at least where I work, and I’m a bit too excited
Today will be a relaxed day, CR has off for Memorial Day weekend. I decided to buy him a new phone for his graduation from elementary school. He’s eligible for an upgrade. He wanted an Apple Watch but he’s way too irresponsible with his things still. I know it will not get used and promptly lost. A new phone is a better choice, he does use that. Not as much as his iPad but I’m sure in middle school it will become more important. Especially for me! For the first few days when he has to catch the bus I’ll be nervous so I’ll be able to text to make sure he made it on and off.
I am, however, getting myself an Apple Watch. You can check your messages and phone calls as they come in so since I’m not supposed to use my phone during group or at work I’ll be able to check to make sure it’s not someone I have to respond to right away. And my SIL said the fitness features are great!
So it should be a decent weekend, even if my brother doesn’t show on Monday.
