Sober Year 1 (Day 690)
Keto Kount Day 5

Weird start to the day this morning. I just couldn't shake the feeling that I was supposed to be doing something. Why wasn't I doing this one thing? But what was that thing I was supposed to be doing?

Pretty steady day all day. I was scheduled to be Supervisor all day. I was a little nervous when I saw that we only had three cashiers all day long and it was only one at a time and the cashier for the afternoon was a lady that I have a hard time saying kind things about. She's not a bad person. She's...just...very...deliberate. She...just...can't...do...any? Thing? She's been working there for several years now and she's just so scared of doing something wrong she won't do anything for herself. So she calls for me every two or three minutes. But I'm supervisor so that's kind of what I'm supposed to be doing.

I got frustrated with the carryout kid as somebody came running into the store to declare that THERE'S A FIRE IN THE TRASHCAN OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR! The cashier was on her 15 minute break so I was the only cashier and I was ringing people up so I couldn't just run out the door. The orders that were coming through the line were small enough to not need a carryout so I told the kid to grab the fire extinguisher and go out and take care of the trash can that was supposedly on fire. He just stood there staring at me. NOW! Grab the fire extinguisher, go outside, take care of the fire! He just stood there, “what do I do?” I told him about P.A.S.S. “Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep” that's how the training material tell us how to do it. He just stared at me. I asked him if he had seen any of the safety materials. I tell self checkout lady to page for management, but management isn't responding to pages. Guy comes back in panting about the fire in the trash can out front. I get through the couple of customers and go outside expecting a towering inferno...and see a wisp of smoke coming out of one of the trash cans. Somebody had put a lit cigarette into the trash can it caught on something. That's when I recognized the customer as one of the usual tweakers. The kind of person who uses all of his food stamps the first week of the month and buys drugs for the second week of the month. He's standing there chanting, “where there's smoke there's fire, where there's smoke there's fire, where there's smoke there's fire” I just grabbed the water jug that's kept on the customer service desk and dumped some into the trash can as the kid came running out with the fire extinguisher yelling he didn't know what to do. Well, calm down I already took care of it. Kind of hoping that there isn't ever a real emergency where I have to rely on anybody in the store.

Still avoiding cashews so I thought I'd try a pack of almonds that were on the register. They had a better flavor than the pistachios, but they weren't as soft as the cashews. And I noticed that even the “low carb” monster still had some carbs in them so I had a can of the Celsius energy which is carb free.

Had a kind of weird split in the day as they had me working five hours before lunch and only two hours after lunch. At lunch I used the pork rinds to thicken up the soup which was really good. I only have a couple of servings of that left. I haven't decided on what to have after I'm done with those. 

Since the second half of the day was only two hours long there wasn't much to do after turning in the registers. 

When I got home Mom was already in bed and Step-Dad was in the shower so I grilled up some cheeseburger patties for myself.
