Fun day at work. Learned to price things, and hopefully I am doing well. Worked two hours at the register that went smoothly aside from one screwed up transaction. I don't mind working the register so much, except when it's horrendously busy.

My sections are all coming into order nicely, and I am quite pleased. Spent a lot of time working on the cookbooks today, and I think that's what I will focus on when I get Saturday.

Looking forward to having a day off already. Though it might be a bit strained since Karen's lame duck boy just flew away. I knew there was a reason I didn't like him, why his comment made me so angry and stuck with me. One of those out of the blue, inexplicable break-ups. She's very sad, and it hurts to see her this way. It provokes that weird sense of chivalry in me, that I should perhaps go challenge this boy to a duel or something.

Made use of my employee discount, three days into the job. A book on the history of cereal, which is fun reading already, and an old book about the Baptist beliefs for my grandfather. It will make a smashing birthday present.

Cerealizing America
by Scott Bruce and Bill Crawford.
Published in 1995 by Faber & Faber.

So far it's quite amusing and interesting reading. Good luck hunting for it. I recommend trying any local used bookstores. :)
