Thoughts from Thursday on
My Current Employment
Yes, I am now a "contributor to society," as GP would put it, and have been for 3 whole days. Let me tell you about it.
It is hard. I know nothing about Jamba Juice and what they offer. Sometimes I can make it up. For example, you wouldn't believe how many times I have heard something like, "What should I get: Aloha Pineapple or Mega Mango?" And then I just pick one in all seriousness and enthusiasm as if I really have an opinion when I have actually never tried either. They listen and obey, every time. It's great.
But then I get more specific questions like, "What is your creamiest smoothie?" Or, "Which one is most tangy?" And I have no clue. But I'm starting to get the hang of it.
I can effectively enter in a buy one get one free coupon all by myself without any help whatsoever. And I have swiped so many visa cards, it's unreal.
I have even poured a fair share of smoothies in my day. I'm certainly way slow and no pro, but I haven't spilled any yet so that's good.
The one part I have yet to master is the actual smoothie making. Wow. You should see me.
Everyone has pretty much all the recipes memorized, but for those lacking in the knowledge, they are hung upon the wall. So when I make a smoothie, I have to search forever for the right recipe. Finally I find it and read the first ingredient. Then I look away to put said ingredient in the blender. And then guess what. I have to look forever again to find the flippin recipe because I lose it among the millions. Every single time! It's ridiculous.
One time I put the blender on the motor thing without a lid.
And then I turned it on.
And then I noticed there was no lid.
And then I could not find the stop button.
And then I screamed.
In the middle of Jamba Juice.
And then I found the stop button.
No major damage.
There are all these little things you have to remember. Whey protein makes it expand so you have to put it in a bigger cup than what it says. Just so you know.
And it's awkward when people I know come in because I have to be polite and talk to them but it's really hard because I am trying to focus and do my job right and I just can't work and socialize at the same time at this point. It's hard.
On Tuesday a guy came in and read my name tag and told me his little brother and I shared names. And then another girl came in and said her cousin had my name.
On Wednesday a girl came in and said there is a girl that works at Macey's with my name.
What is this? Apparently everyone and their dog has my name and they have been hiding for 18 years.
Anyway, I can now say I have a job. Yep, I'm cool. Come get a smoothie next time you're in town, yo.

I can't believe you actually have a real job! How for away is it from where you live? Do you get to choose your own hours? Is it hard balancing school and work? Do you like the people you work with? Is your boss mean? How much do you get paid? Do you get free smoothies? Do you like Jamba better than Smoothie King? What about Roxberry? Do you think that you don't have to answer all these questions? Cuz you do.
