DAY 3 Today was the aforementioned "Church Rush", busiest around of course when Sunday mass ended and all the families came in. They all seemed to know each other, talking to one another and eating together, which made me think about church and how alienated I used to feel in comparison when I used to go as a kid before it was my choice. Compared to yesterday, I felt a lot more composed today, most likely because I took my ADD (or ADHD, whatever) medication before I went to work. I was getting a lot more done, and I actually felt like I was an asset to the team rather than a detriment. Despite all the questions I frequently have about what to do, I got the hang of the basics by now, even taking orders pretty smoothly. A coworker who has been doing most of my training kept pointing out that I often forget to give customers their drink cups as I take their orders, which I forget more than anything somehow. I call my mom during break and let her know how my day is going, suggesting today that she should come in with my step-dad and brother tomorrow for lunch and order some food, mainly because I want them to see me working and in my element for once. I've felt like for a big portion of my life, I haven't really given them much to be proud of, if anything at all, so having them see me work a job and doing it well would be nice. Older customers tend to make me a bit nervous for various reasons, one being the fact that we provide senior discounts on certain items, and I haven't exactly got the hang of the discount system yet, but so far, we haven't exactly had any customers I'd call "mean." Today felt productive, like it went well, and I'm looking forward to improving and becoming an increasingly useful asset to the team.
