Love Your Cashier
I've now been working as a cashier for almost four months and I can honestly say that I love it. It's hands down the best job I've ever had which is saying quite a lot. I love my boss, my coworkers, and the work itself. The work is easy and has a nice rhythm to it. However, as with ever job I'm sure, there's always that one thing that I don't really care for: the customers. Sure, some customers are really nice people and always hold really great conversation with me, but nine times out of 10, customers are rude, angry, or just downright have a bad attitude about everything. Even though I haven't been a cashier for very long, I've dealt with quite a few awful customers.

Read Like a Butterfly, Write Like a Bee
I have always wanted to write. Even before I knew how, I was already scribbling on the blank spaces of all the books lying around the house—including the Bible. The love for writing was never just about the thoughts-to-words dynamic, it was the physical side of it as well: the paper textures, the pens, the ink on the pages, the keys and the typing sounds.

One story that is always my go to story when I want to get a laugh about the mores of my business and the silliest of silly ego battles. I have one story that I always tell when I am initiating my new employees and interns in the ways of our business. It’s a cautionary tale to remind ourselves that, sometimes, other people know better than you.
