WORKING!!

I began working part-time at Subway since this week.

Well, that's new. Finally ran out of things to do?

Not quite. I've left a few visual novels unplayed, but didn't really get around to playing them. Better working than lazing around like a NEET.

So what are you working as?

Sandwich Artist.

...That's something I've never heard of.

It's a fancy way of saying "bottom of the command chain". I'm entasked primarily with making the sandwiches, and on occasion put on cleaning duty. Well, that's more or less what I've expected working with them anyway.

Shifts are okay. It's either the Opening or Closing Shift, which means morning or afternoon respectively. Their duration is usually around 6 hours, though on occasion I'm called in earlier, which usually results in walking in during the lunch hour.

Must be a little difficult to handle, right?

I know. Especially when a number of orders surge in, causing a queueup of 5 unwrapped sandwiches or so, even with 3 people present in the stall. Difficulty spi~ke!

And just when I think it can't get harder, staffing problems ensue and I get things like almost getting transferred to other outlets, or having my shift extended even further. Better working from 1000 to 2000 rather than (unknown start time) to 2345.

Just how many people are working, anyway?

Oh, 2-3 people at the stall at any one time. It's a small place, so we can't squeeze in too many people, but that means a load of work per person. At least I'm still getting paid for extra hours, and the place does have short periods where business slows down fairly.

How long will you be working? Until just before you enter NS?

Exactly. This means that almost all the free time I once had will be drained away, but it's something to take my mind off the emptiness that results from enlisting late.

Well, I've only been working for a week. Who knows what will happen for the next 7. Guess it's best to wrap up at this point.
