fun with razorblades

Looking at myself in the mirror yesterday, seeing myself for the first time in my Cub Foods uniform, I had to laugh. I've never had a shit job before. Tonight was my second day ever stocking shelves at a grocery store. It's mindless work, hard on the legs, back, and feet, but mindless. Doing it fast enough is all about learning the tricks of the trade, but there really is much less to it than I had imagined. Some magical force has already stacked up the palettes by the time I get there, and you just wheel it out and put the stuff away where it belongs on the shelf. Unemployed is not a sustainable state. Part-time work pays the bills, while I work on what is really important.
