Basically I’m twenty-one years old. I live in Vancouver, Canada and one day hope to make it into graphic design or become involved in the fashion or music industry.

So yeah, I've had my first two days or work already. Both of them being eight hour shifts. Basically I'm dead tired but so glad that I get the rest of the week off. You see they are apparently going through budget cuts or something like that and they already had the schedule for this week all made up so basically i'm just on call all week. I am totally fine with that though because I feel like shit. That is actually an understatement. I mean my stomach basically feels like it's going to explode and I feel like I'm going to throw up every five seconds. Which actually happened on Monday night. Yeah, not pleasant at all. I can't even move without every muscle in my body aching. I'm not used to standing up for eight hours two days in a row, my back is killing me and so are my feet. But my stomach is the thing that bothers me the most. There is nothing worse than having the feeling like there is something stuffed in your stomach that is trying to like explode. Yeah probably not the best way to describe it or anything but it just feels like my stomach is like expanding or something. I'm probably going to get my parents to take me to the doctor, something I don't do very often cause I don't really worry that much about colds and flus and stuff but I mean i've never felt this bad. Sure i've got a pretty low pain tolerence. But this is just really bad. I can hardly breathe without it hurting and it all just sucksAnyways my job isn't super hard or anything. Working a cash register is fairly basic so it's not all that difficult for me. The only thing that is going to take some getting used to is learning how to do the photocopying and stuff. There are wayyyy too many buttons haha. And you have to know exactly what way to put the paper in to make it double sided or it will be backwards and stuff like that. But I mean I think i'll get used to it. I hope at least haha. The staff seems super nice, they aren't really super serious or anything like that. They are all really close to each other and stuff but they are totally friendly and are all a bunch of goof balls. So it's a lot of fun. I hope I just don't screw up anything too epically.
The one thing that I am having a problem with though is finding where things are. I mean I guess that is to be expected considering I've only worked there for two days. But when someone comes up to me and asks where something is I'm kinda like 'ummmmm'. I've played the whole 'oh i'm new' card a lot XD Also it's really hard to figure out what people are talking about half the time, like they'll say something about a 'rolodex' which I had no idea what that was until recently or a 'bankers box' I mean you'd think that a bankers box would have something to do with money right? Well wrong, it's basically just a big cardboard box. I don't understand why they feel the need to call it a bankers box though. It seems a bit weird to me. But whatever, there isn't anything I can do about that now. Anyways my stomach is killing me right now so I guess I should get going. Hopefully I'll feel better soon cause I don't know how much longer I can handle feeling this shitty.

Awww! I hope you feel better soon! That sucks so bad :( You should definitely go to the doctor and have it checked out.
I'm glad to hear you don't find your job horrible or anything. And don't worry , I'd be exactly the same if I just started working there. Like, rolodex? Banker's box? I would never know what those were lol.
