Evening. Sounds like things are going just marvelous
Congrats on the job! If this is your first, I'm really glad you were able to bypass the curse of retail/fast food. Many of us were not so lucky (shudder,) though I'll admit it did wonders to get me out of my shell, being forced to interact with strangers and all. If you can believe it, the interaction became my favorite part. I used to get in trouble for letting customers linger for too long. What can I say? Everybody has such interesting stories to tell.
Speaking of — I wonder, do you publish writing anywhere? Fanfiction, original works, anything of the sort? You should consider it if not, creative as you are! I'd love to see how your particular way of speaking would flow in a story.
Side note because I couldn't find anywhere else to fit it in — your birthday is exactly a week before mine. What are the odds?

Hello! Thank you! It is my first job indeed. I’ve heard my fair share of retail horror stories from friends and family alike. As much as I am relieved, I am a bit guilty to be missing out on such universal awkward experiences, in an odd way. That being said, getting any kind of work was my path to putting myself out there at all, so I’m still excited to make connections. I’m sure I’ll learn all about my own little team. The work is menial, so small talk is bound to blossom similarly.
As for my writing, I’m flattered that you’re interested! I believe I had mentioned before I am a little shy about my prose… but I do write! It’s very spontaneous, though. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything proper to show for it recently. I think if I ever do hack something up, this website would likely be the first to see it. No harm in keeping an eye out. I also think my diary has been a worthy writing exercise in its own right. Having something specific to tend to, I can see myself getting into the flow of writing much easier now. Your own interest means a great deal to me, too. I’ll definitely be keeping it in mind. <3
On the topic of birthdays, how fun! Both of our birthdays are on the horizon. I hope you’ll be having a good one! Something funny — October is quite the packed month for my family and I. With my own birthday coming first, my close cousin’s birthday a week after that, my mom’s a week after hers, and remarkably, my sister’s birthday is the day after my mom’s. Needless to say, it gets busy. I can’t complain, I enjoy festivities.
Thank you endlessly for your time again! I hope you’ve been well.
