The hardest part isn’t the equipment explanations or even dealing with people who think they know better than the safety rules. It’s the constant mental juggling between work mode and study mode.

Jake stopped by during my shift today and caught me actually looking like I knew what I was doing. Small victories. Now if I could just figure out how to fit my study schedule around these evening shifts without my brain turning to mush.

Still beats food service though. At least here when people are cranky, they’re usually just tired from working out instead of hangry.
