What a day, what a day, what a day.
Woke up early. Got finished getting ready around 9:15 so I had lots of morning time. Had some tuna salad and some toast for breakfast. No morning genmaicha but I did get hydrated with some good old water. Neck is doing much better today, up to 85% or so, but still not 100%.
Went to work around 11:45, worked until 8:15. The day passed a lot faster than I thought, even though we were pretty busy around 1-2, and 3-5. Customers were absolutely fine, with the exception of this one woman who couldn't understand a net refund until her husband stepped in and looked at the receipts. Suffice to say I was cooking up an odd mix of panic, vengeful thinking, and second-hand embarrassment. The other meh point was when these two high school students came by — one of them stared me down like a fish and basically demanded answers out of me for item sizes — and asked if my younger brother was working. Well, that really locked me up like granite. I didn't vibe with them.
Got home. I dug into dinner. I hadn't eaten lunch today, though did briefly wonder about the Subway across the block around 1 or 2. Mom and dad seemed to have gone to Costco today. There was some rotisserie chicken around, and some kimchi. Mom or grandma also made some chicken veggie soup. Yum.
Talked with mom and dad a little bit about the Davis admit. Told them I was seriously worried about the Santa Cruz housing market, they said they'd help me out. Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Muah muah, mom and dad. Santa Cruz is also closer to home and to Silicon Valley, so there are better job opportunities here than up in Davis, not to mention a cooler climate. Talked to dad a bit more about college and working life in general.
