This is my first job in like 6 years. I'm an usher at Regal Movies. I work for like 5 hours per day. I don't know the full schedule yet, but it's just something to do in the day for some money to do fun stuff.
I'm dying my hair with my birthday money. Plus I found some books at Barnes&Noble that I want, but found them all on Libby. Barnes is only a small walk away from work. I can see it from the door.
I just checked out a book on Libby, to read during down time mostly.
So my job is to clean the theater. Not hard at all. but the down time between cleanings can be 30m. I dunno if I'm allowed to read during that time. Now that I think of it, most likely not. ehh...still got a book on the phone or tablet. woo.
There's just tons of down time. That's all. and I bore quickly. but I'm getting paid for it, right? That's something.
I work tomorrow and Sunday and Monday as far as I know. I have two appointments on Monday that I have to tell about. One is therapy at 3. and the other is...oh. it's at 8:30am...so before I even go in. It's to get the note from the dr that says I'm able to work, and that I need to sit down every so often--after hours of standing, or many, many stairs.
I have more videos to watch on the computer, but I'll be trained tomorrow for greeting. Ugg those videos are such common sense it's ridiculous!! I do understand why they are on there tho. But sweatdrop . And even tho it is common sense, and some are just "well, duh!", I'm still getting a few pieces of info. Kindof. There's no need to memorize and if I have trouble, call a manager. I mean, I'm clearly not the best or smartest or wisest person.
My problem is worrying about a gun. That never happens, but my brain catastrophizes things.
It's only 5 hours, but it's a hell of a lot better then sitting for 5 hours. I get paid for it, weee! I'll do fine. I'm not expected to be all perfect....I think they just want a little bit of that info to stay in my head....I guess it will.
Today, I think I did the wrong thing tho. Maybe. I wanted my applesauce. I thought it would be fine to go and get it. When I got to the break room door, I was like "wait, I'm not at home. I can't have applesauce by the computer..." So I went in real quick and grabbed my bar instead then hurried back bc no one knew I left. I stuck the bar in my pocket, so that no one would see it. I mean, if a coworker saw me with a bar, or the manager, maybe it wouldn't be a problem, but...I dunno if that would be trouble or not. Plus, I mean....CLEARLY I'm not allowed to eat in front of guests. so yea...that trip was a bit nerve-wracking when those thoughts came into my head, but it turned out just fine.
I have my name tag and am now in the system. I have a card to swipe in and out with. I said my favorite movie is Brave. While defiantly a great one, I should have picked something else. Oh well. There's just too many. I should have said Spirited Away. But whatevs. My brain instantly went to Disney movies and that's just...what was in my head at that particular moment.
I mean, there's not much that isn't super obvious about this job, but I'm still anxious about breaking some rule. But, yet again, once I get in a groove, I'll be perfectly fine. I'm all nervous and scared. One day, I might just not think, and do something stupid. like I did 6 years ago to get fired. but eating in the day would have fixed that issue. (ate off a customers plate in front of him)
Just make sure my food needs are taken care of. and water...that's important too.
I get free popcorn and soda on the job, just not on the floor ya know. I get 9 free tickets per month. and already know my nieces would love Elf. I could take them. hmm.
I may have this job for a long time. I mean, it's really not hard in any way. Great. But it does make me sad bc most people in their 30's can totally scoff at me for this. BUT that's not what's gonna happen. It's an overly simple job, and most of the kids there are indeed teens. It just makes me feel sad that I'm less than. but I'm not. I mean, yea...disabled in ways that are not clear or visible, ............but other 37 yo people have ........not my life. people my age have learned to be decent and understanding and if they haven't .......I'm not afraid of being made fun of. I don't like being under valued. Any teen can do this crap. I'm 37. No college and no car. and that's....just...the deal. It doesn't mean I'm less. I get all embarrassed. and then cry.
but hey...I was given a ******** house. that's something that even people my age don't have yet. or something.
ha. it's nearly 1am. I need to gooo. I gotta be at the dr at 8:45. so get up at least by like 7:30. geez.
