• so i guess this is sort of a promotion. they asked me to do surveys the whole shift. no cashiering at all. everyone hates doing surveys because it is the most interactive of jobs. i have to convince customers to do a survey. i got 27 today. half of them are easy, where their greed just wants to win $5000. the other half i have to force into somehow. it's not easy. but, i suppose i am good at it, so they put me in that position today. there are 2 other guys who is asked to only do surveys per shift. those guys use the position just to chill. everyone else is working hard cashiering and they use 25% of time just standing around. i guess it does take up lots of energy to do, so maybe they deserve to chill a bit. but they kind of take advantage of it. i tried my best to work hard all the way through.

  so i have gone from social anxiety, agoraphobia to most interactive cashier... have lots more to improve upon tho. but these changes are welcome. i just need to keep doing what i'm doing and in 1 year i will be once again a different person.

  i've been working at ?arget for about 11 months now.

  i plan to stay for 1 more year to tweak my social skills a bit more.

  then, maybe i'll be ready for a regular job. i have a feeling i will be able to handle a regular job once it's time to do so. i sorta surprise myself with cashiering and surveying, maybe it will be the same with other things too.
