Optimism??!

[elementalhero]

I have been getting more optimistic about my job the longer I do it, so I am going to list good things about it here to make me feel better!

+I have been losing weight due to eating less/getting exercise in the form of lifting things and standing around.
+Physical exercise also produces endorphins!
+Sleep feels wonderful after a hard days' work.
+For as much as I have to stand, I get to sit a lot when the line gets jammed or is running slowly. Though this usually produces mind-crushing boredom, these times are also opportunities to plan fanfictions!
+Showers feel like a gift from God after work. Never has being clean felt so wonderful. Actually, I have been appreciating a lot more of the little things in general!
+....um. I have beautiful bruises. I should probably stop now.
+Oh wait, I remembered that this job has made me thankful for my cushy life and access to education that will keep me from ever having to work a job like this again.

I always miss the times I had a job and could sit doing nothing. Back then, I wasn't an English major. Of course, I need a job now so I can afford those moments.

Also, I'm very happy for you and your beautiful bruises.

The Carbuncle is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

Nah, I kind of like having visible bruises. The best one I have right now looks like a big purple arrow pointing down to a mosquito bite further down my knee. Moral of the story: don't drop heavy shit on your knees. And also wear bug spray.

Oh ouch. Thank good ness, it wasn't your feet. =_=; *pats* Ah, I get bitten easily too, but mostly by spiders. Yeck.

W-well. At least it could be worse.

It could be a lot worse! So I feel pretty good about that, at least.
