The Dreaded Eight Hours

Normally when asked what my weekend plans were I would reply with “hanging out with friends”. Unfortunately, this weekend will be the first weekend I will have to reply with ‘work”. Having recently started a job, I am now forced to give up my weekends to work as a sales associate. Knowing weekends are not particularly busy for Walgreens I will most likely be standing in front of the cash register for eight hours hoping people come buy items. Rather than counting down the minutes until my next break, I will do my best to remain grateful that I was even given this opportunity to work. I did not think I was qualified for this job, having no prior work experience, but the manager was comprehensive and hired me anyways. The entire team has been very helpful and understanding, and for that I should implement my strength of being thankful. Being aware of the positives will make my very first eight hour shift bearable. After working my shift I also hope to be more grateful for all the money my parents spend on me. Knowing how brutal and long those hours can be, I will be able to appreciate my materialistic objects a lot more.
