A Week Ago

Another fun day. I had 2 medium sales, and that's not bad for 5 hours of work. I guess I really shouldn't call them 'sales' since I'm not commissioned. I'll say that I did a good job of providing information to customers and they went with what I advised.

Was a little weird though. One of the guys that works in the section next to mine started asking me about where I came from and stuff. And I don't mind telling the basics. However, one of his questions was, "So, did you get a lot of [tail] in high school?" He didn't say 'tail.' I nervously looked around to make sure a supervisor didn't hear him. But honestly, I wasn't offended or anything. I was just caught off guard. Was funny though.

I wasn't scheduled to have many hours this week. I was only going to have 13. But before I left, the supervisor pulled me aside and asked if I wanted more time. He said he's been impressed with how fast I'm catching on, so he wants me to work the floor more. Of course, I understand that more hours is a good thing. So instead of 4 days off this week, I'll have 2 days off. I think I'm getting 10 more hours. So it's good. The week after is going to be the most though, at least from what I remember. I think I go in every day that week. But, depending on who is coming down when, I'll have to get some days off.

The day I had training, I only got 5 hours and 40 minutes of sleep. But I felt finei n the morning. Last night, I got 7 hours and 40 minutes of sleep. And I felt terrible this morning. It doesn't make too much sense to me. I know it has to do with the 'sleep cycle.' Each person has one, and it's a different time length for everyone. If we wake up at the right time in the cycle, we feel fine. Eh, I'll have to Google it to get better information. I think mine is based on 1 hour 15 minute cycles. Or not. I can't remember.

I'm checking out the new Radiohead CD finally. It's nice so far, but I'm only 4 tracks in and there's 10 total. They finally have an album version of "Nude." It was called "Big Ideas" originally, and it's a great song. However, the live version from Salamanca is the best I've heard. I don't think I have it anymore, but I'll find it again.

I go in for the night shift tomorrow. Late afternoon to close. Less than 5 hours. But it is the busiest time, so things should move by quickly. But it also means I don't have to wake up so early. I like that.

By the way, remind me to do a post on why I think the platypus is the best animal ever.
