Learning Curve

Our second day on the job included the introduction to opening procedures. There really isn't anything that we can't do so far, and it just involves repetition and experience before we feel comfortable. It was definitely a day that helped us feel like we can get into the flow of things in a reasonable time frame. Both of us worked the registers, stocked the shelves, prepared inventory and handled all the housekeeping tasks for the store. I guess we can say that we are close to the end of being introduced to all phases of the job.

We start at 8:45 this morning and have one more day after today before getting our first off-day on Memorial Day. If I had to say what we like least about the job it would be the daytime hours. When we worked at the Lodge for three years, we worked the 3 to 11 shift which gave us much more time to enjoy the area. With our daytime hours on this job, the entire day is taken up with working hours. I think we will manage, though.

It looks like we are finally going to get a break in the lousy weather. The forecast for the next week is clear with warming temperatures. We are anxious to take advantage of some time off to catch up on changes in our favorite areas so the better weather is coming at a good time...
