A busy day makes it go by quick. Also makes feet hurt (though that could be four straight days of working) and lots of sweat droplets itching their way down all my awkward crevices. Yeah, enjoy that mental picture. I didn't much enjoy the reality. Everything was a concerted effort, with an attempt at perfect time management to be the most efficient bee I could be.
It makes for short idle conversation which is just as well to me since I have forgone the kanji in the heat for sudoku in the heat. I have memorized the first 100 kanji and the plan was to memorize how to write them, but that is a harder logistic task than I thought. With the katakana and hiragana alphabets I just jotted them down from memory with a grid of the vowels on one side and the first letter consonants on the other. With the kanji though I would need to have a paper already labeled with the English meaning that I would then fill. A paper I would have to make. That is kind of awkward work to do while cashiering so I moved on to the little sudoku puzzled one of my co-workers has been giving me.
I makes me the least attentive out of the three activities of reading, memorizing, and playing sudoku. I don't like getting interrupted in the middle of figuring something out while being interrupted while reading or looking at flash cards is much easier to pull away from and engage a customer in spite of. Doesn't mean I am going to give it up. I have an especially tricky one befuddling me at the moment where all the rest have been easy old school to me.
