Lack of Inspiration

So I've been faithfully trying to come up with a great idea for a post for about 3 weeks now. And I've still got nothing. My only explanation for this is just a general lack of inspiration. Perhaps this is the infamous writer's block at work.

So what's this post going to be about if I have no ideas for a post? A discussion about possible explanations for this situation. Just kidding. I'm going to ramble.

I think I can safely say that I have been quite busy recently. Well, I wasn't for that one week after I finished school where I had nothing to do except lie around the house and aimlessly stare at the walls. And in a way, that did feel really nice. I've never had such minimal stress in my life. After being in school for 2 years straight and having almost no time to relax, it was comforting to know that it was perfectly okay to do nothing. Except, it got boring really fast.

I'm the kind of person who always needs something to do or else I get really restless. So I was really amping up my job searching at this point. And then I got offered a job. And that's basically all I've been doing ever since.

So how's my job? It's pretty good. I'm a lowly sales associate at a somewhat popular retail store. Learning the ropes was very painful at first. For example, associates have to be able to physically CTRL-F the store for certain clothes with certain 7 digit codes on them. In other words, you have to know where absolutely everything is at all times. It's a lot more difficult than you'd think to learn that skill. I've gotten pretty good at it as I've frantically wandered the store for ages just to put one piece of clothing back.

Also my people skills have already improved dramatically. You get used to saying "Hi, how are you?" to people and them not responding. Over and over again. Eventually it doesn't even make a dent in you.

I made my first sale at the register the other day without screwing up. Yayyyyyy. It only took about 30 sales for nothing to go wrong. I consider myself pretty good at learning new technology, but the software in the registers is extremely confusing and outdated. I'm sure it would be very, very costly to instill a massive update in all the registers, but it could easily take 2 weeks out of associates' training if it was made to be more intuitive and less complicated.

Well, that's all I've got for now. I half promise I'll be back next week with something marginally better. At least.
