First Day

I had my first day at my new job today. And I actually really enjoyed it. The people I'm working with are lovely, especially the girl who's training me. It's so hectic though, and it gets so busy. But that makes the time go quickly at least. I hardly had time to blink for the first two hours; I was getting myself a drink and literally not having time to drink it for half an hour. It's non-stop. And there's so much to learn, the tills are so confusing but I'm hoping it won't take me too long to pick it up. After a couple of hours today my nerves left me and I was actually starting to smile whilst serving the customers. It's just getting into a routine, saying the same thing over and over, it's how you get through it, that's what we did at Anglian. But there we were given a basic script and here you have to make it up as you go. And be polite at the same time. And smile. Smile smile smile so much that your jaw begins to hurt. And your feet from standing up and running around. I'm dreading Friday, the busiest day. But it's really interesting. Today I had to take euros and give change in pounds, when I thought the only place you could pay with euros in England was at airports.. or the post office. And a man came in with a £50 note and we had to do tests on it to check that it wasn't fraudulent. So yes. I enjoyed my first day, and hopefully tomorrow I'll know what I'm doing a little more. I wonder how long it will take until I don't ever have to ask for help.. hope it's not too long!!
