Day 190: How to Work It

I woke up to a text from the new part time bookkeeper. It was her first day on her own, even though she has been with the company for about at long as I have and was one of my head cashiers. So she essentially send an "S.O.S" and I help her in a sleepy kind of way but am not able to fix it without seeing what is on the computer screen.

I didn't mind it much, going into work and straight to help her out. That it took an hour was fine as well. It was that little amount of time not cashiering in the heat. I decided to push my luck with one of the managers and jokingly/seriously asked if I could follow her around for the day. That she wouldn't do but she let me shadow the Service Desk for the day which was about as good. I learned some new things, but more importantly...I spent a day without cashiering outside in the heat.


Torchwood has officially got my attention again. Finished out Children of Earth with minimal tears and some respect for the female character who has almost completely diminished it in the previous seasons. The first episode of the new series that started last night, called Miracle Day, was kind of fabulous as well. When I saw Gwen Cooper (aforementioned female lead) boss-walk up to a window while shooting a gun in one hand and holding a gleeful, smiling baby with her other, I had this surge of love that can only be captured in a .gif.

What a boss.
