jon_chaisson | Midweek stuff (Reply)

So this week I've been given all opening shifts, which I've always loved -- like I always say, I'm off early and I have the entire rest of the day to do whatever I want to do without rushing -- but the downside is that I have to wake up stupid early. Since the store opens at 6am sharp, I'm usually up by 4:30am so I can shower, have breakfast and feed the cats without rush. (I wake up ever so slightly earlier on Fridays and Saturdays when I'm doing the 5:30 start for bookkeeping duties.) So while I'm glad it's only midafternoon as I write this, I'm just slightly tired. Especially today, as I held down the front end mostly by myself with only the occasional assistance.

Another thing I DO like about the mornings are how quiet they are. While I do keep myself busy now and again with spot-cleaning and restocking of bags and whatnot, for the most part I'm there at the register letting my mind wander. And in today's case, I was able to write a few notes related to Theadia that may help me further down the line. That's something I'm not always able to do during midshifts!

Anyhoo...right now I'm just fiddling about with various things here in Spare Oom and waiting for A's shift to be over so we can stop by PetSmart and then by our garden plot to give it a bit of watering!
