My first day in work!

Well, I guess technically it was the second - I was there for a couple of hours yesterday for my training. Today, I was dropped right into it.

I slowly improved over the course of the day, but I still found it incredibly difficult. I know it'll come as a surprise to you, but I'm not the most outgoing of people, and walking up to people and starting a conversation - even though I'm literally being paid to do so - is so far outside my comfort zone that I can't even see it from here.

But it did get easier, and I managed to avoid dropping myself in it too badly. I got a total of four signups in the three hours I was there, though since two of them did't have ID, my trainer got to sign them up. I suspect she'll do a lot better than I did, too - she's pretty darned good at what she does.

But I'm signed up for shifts for the rest of the week, where I'll be all on my lonesome. I'll see how those go before I make any decisions. At the very least, I'll be earning minimum wage while I'm out working, and that's more than I earn otherwise. And who knows? I may actually get better at the whole thing!
