I don't know if I could possibly have a job that is more mindless than mine.
Fruit and vege checkout machine. I bet I know more damn four no codes than the lot of you. When I look in my fridge at home instead of seeing tomatoes and silverbeet....oh look! some 9213 and 8955. better get some more 8785 (parsley) or 3081 (high early apples sml variety).
I am there 5 days a week. (My choice I know) but I've got to pay the rent somehow!
Where I work; a delightfully named shopping center....... I'd say 95% of the customers are over 65 and generally speak little english. This being so, there isn't even the possibility of anyone halfway decent brightening my day. "It's hot/warm/cold/bleak/miserable/purple/stupendous today isn't it" or "making soup/cake/cut up oranges?" tends to be the only safe kind of conversation you can make.
Some customers as they place the items on the counter insist on naming WHAT each item is, and the PRICE of each item as though I've never seen a banana before (let alone 50billion trillion times that hour!!!) PS; I actually have a fully fledged phobia of bananas...more about that some other time.
WHINGE!!
I once told two little old ladies, who pondered aloud the possibility that the 6 pots of basil would still be there after they had annoyed another shop; that it was actually N.B.D (national basil day) and that it was a 'greek' thing on this annual occasion to hunt down it all before 12midday. Hehe; they bought the lot then and there.
Next year the plan is to start a degree as a nurse.
On reaching home (late at night) james then proceeded to break off his house key in the lock; so I had to break in through a window in the dark by myself as he was late for band practice.
This place is turning into a kind of therapy for me, where I can complain and actually get a response from people I'll probably never meet or need to care what kind of impression I make. I should stop now! Thanks to those who heplped me figure out the monotonous task of url retrieving.
