Hey junkdna! It’s good to see you! Yes my shifts jump all over the place. The back to back closing/opening shifts don’t happen often so that’s not an issue since it’s not too frequent. I’m just adjusting to work in general it is exhausting. Physically and mentally. And I’m very socially anxious and shy too , so it’s definitely been putting my wayyyy out of my comfort zone but it’s getting better. I’ve been at this job a month and a half now. Im glad I have that new position there now where I interview people and pick ones to have hired and run job orientations because that will cut down the amount of time I have to do cashiering which is stressful especially during the holidays when there’s lots of people coming in shopping. But I’ll still do cashiering whenever I want/need extra hours and whenever they need backup. Like today I did markdowns cause no one came in for job orientations or interviews today. So basically I just scanned items after item and put marked down stickers on each of them that came up with a markdown price. It’s tedious because there’s so many items but the time goes by fast. I did backup as cashier for 30 minutes today. My main default job now is as Talent Captain but I’m still also technically a cashier, and also do other things they request like running items onto shelves/rails and markdowns when needed.

I’m wondering when there’ll be a day I come home from a shift where I’m not extremely physically exhausted lol might take a few months before I get fully adjusted to it though. It’s only been 1 and 1/2 months. Previous to this I was hardly physically active at ALL, so it’s a big adjustment. I had to buy new shoes because I was in so much pain from all the standing and bending etc. but it’s good because I’m losing weight
