Workin' Me Arse Off

So I definitely spent over ten hours of my life working at Sbarro last weekend. Yeah.

There are a few things that are happening since I begun there:
1. My efficiency factor is at an all-time high!
2. I don't actually entirely fully hate my job with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
3. Lack of sleep is getting to me once more.
4. Now this is a big one... I cannot stand the sight of pizza.

Starting from the top--er, actually, let's go from the bottom. Just for the hell of it. I mean, breaking standards and cultural traditions is what I'm all about, right? Good, glad you agree. From the bottom!

Standing behind a counter full of pizza for hours on end is one of the last things I've ever wanted to do (you know, up there with working at a fast food joint). So far that is all that I have gotten to do--serve pizza to all the friendly customers. After my first shift--five hours long--we had a lot of pizza left over. If memory serves me, more than five entire pizzas, freshly baked too. We threw away those and took only what had been sitting out. Even so, that added up to almost four whole pizzas. Unfortunately, as much as I detested the sight and smell of pizza at that moment, I was starving (treacherous stomach!). *deep sigh* thus I gave in.

Right onto sleep deprivation--still one of me fav activities. It's summed up pretty simply I'd say:
sleeping at five in the morning after being out most of the night and then getting up to work at nine. I'd say it was the dumbest thing that I've done as of late, but the dumber decision happened during the night, not as a result of the night.

Third. I really don't. My job, while it is fast food, has some satisfying things to it. It's one of those jobs where you can space out for hours on end and realize that you just made a few good bucks. That and you can also talk to everyone there and not get yelled at every single second. Pretty cool actually. I've met a few people who are just down-right nifty and make me want to meet them outside of the workplace. I may, and most likely, will at some point in the future. But for now I'mma just stick with learning how to make pizza (disgusting >.<).

And last, but most importantly first, when you are pressed for time, you tend to do things in a much more efficient manner. Hell, the first night off of work, I went and worked out, did my chemistry lab, and had time to go out and stay out 'til five. And after all of that, I was still not tired when I went to work the next day--so what if I was falling asleep by seven Sunday evening? Efficiency++!!!

But you know what'll be really spiffy? The fact that I'm making money again. Here I come Final Fantasy XII! And eventually my very own Wii... can't wait. Of course when that actually does happen I'll need the money to supposrt myself. You know, after dropping out ^^;
