First Official Shift

So the first official shift wasn't so bad.
A lady couldn't get into her locker, another lady cut her hand.
The knives they gave us are brand new, they are really sharp.
I nicked my finger and sliced my knuckle a bit,
nothing major. She might have needed stitches. It happens.
Have to be really careful.

My heart's been acting up. Had some issues.
I said something, but maybe I shouldn't have.
At least I found out there's a nurse.
So all I have to do is say I need to see the nurse if it gets really bad.

They had me on bacon today. I panned it and I put it in the oven.
Had to keep checking it. It wasn't ready for a while.
But at least I know how to do that now.

Then there were bags of potatoes that were already peeled
that I took over chopping. The lady who cut herself was chopping them.
So I took over for her and then I chopped onions and tomatoes.
Then I used one of the machines. It grates stuff. I did lots of carrots,
then had to wash the machine by hand.
They don't want to get it broken in the dish washer.

Not sure if I have to be back at 6am or if we're meeting in the chapel.
Someone said we are meeting in the chapel. Maybe a class.
We're using the chapel as a classroom. I like the hands on stuff.
I just don't like that my heart keeps giving me grief.

I got some more money together for my trip.
Almost enough for one night at the hostel.
I have to sell some more stuff or find a good spot.
It will work out. Only need the rest for that night and one more night.
Some extra for food would be great. Of course.
We'll see how it goes. But so far, things are coming along.
I'm not going to worry too much about it.
I'll see how tomorrow goes.
I've got two more days left to figure out something.
If all goes well tomorrow, and Thursday, it should be great.
I'm not above sleeping at the bus station if it comes to that.
If they kick me out, they kick me out.
It would only be for one night, anyway.
There's a little diner near the hostel.
Been thinking of asking them if they'd give me a temp job
just so that I can stay a night at the hostel if need be
and possibly work for food. Stuff happens.
It's been a crazy month so far.
Maybe my heart can't handle the craziness.
Anyway, I just got home and I need a nap.
