Is it a lot to ask to have two days in a row under 300 lbs (<136 kg)? I shouldn't be too upset over being up a pound or two as that is the normal range of a single day weight. But it does feel like, “Yay, I'm making progress!” and the next day the scale is like, “nope, no you're not”

I was able to cook breakfast this morning before work.

When I got to work there was a bit of confusion as to what I was supposed to be doing as the scheduled to do just about everything on the front end outside of actually supervising. However when I got there the store manager said that they needed help in the online ordering department so I was pretty much drafted from the front end to online pickup all day. I didn't complain all that much I do like working in the online pickup. There is a bit of problem solving while you're walking around. At the service desk I'm just standing there, and standing at the register and being stuck at Self Checkout make my feet hurt.

While I was at work the manager asked me if I was interested in coming in early tomorrow as they were understaffed in the online pickup and she wasn't very confident in being able to run that department herself. There really is only one guy who is regularly in online pickup. He's technically the department head of the department, even though he doesn't do his own schedule. However he still needs to have his day off so they had somebody cover my shift tomorrow so I could run online pickup while he's off. Again, I'm not going to complain, coming in early tomorrow gets me up to the 40 hours that I'm supposed to be getting anyway. I did have a flash of trepidation when she first suggested that I come in early tomorrow as at first she said that she was wanting me to coming in at 7am and work until 4pm. That would mean that I would get up fairly early, for me anyway. But she corrected her offer to 8am to 5pm so I would be able to work later in the evening. I can get there by 8 am, but 8 is about the time I usually wake up. Getting up to get to work by 7 would be a challenge.

I'm a little annoyed that they still haven't released the schedule for next week yet. My sister is planning on our Thanksgiving gathering on next Saturday and it would be nice to see if Management was able to get me off that day. She also said that since she had to move me around I would have some early days next week. So it would be nice to see what I'm working next week.

Something that I noticed the little bit while I ran self checkout was an amazing update. When people use debit/credit/SNAP cards that don't have the microchip on them a lot of people don't realize that they are supposed to push the “Card” button to get the register to take their payment. So people would get frustrated at me because the card reader is saying, “Continue Checking Out” but they're done and ready for their receipt. I'll tell them to push the card button for their card to work. They'll insist that they already ran their card. But with the new system the card reader will automatically finish out the order instead of calling me over because they hadn't pushed the card button yet. So that's a frustration that no longer exists
