First Day of Work

The upsides- 
-I have a job!! I mentioned this before, but I still think it's worthy of significant notice. I'm still quite pleased that I have one and am still prone to go on about the dignity of work. 
-I also get a FREE SANDWICH on my lunch break! It's great! Granted, working in a place dealing with food you usually resolve never to eat anything served there again. That hasn't happened yet. Maybe it will, but I hope not.
-It's not that far to walk, it's about eight minutes. It was nasty and muggy out today, but once inside, it was fine.
-The work varies a lot. I like that. Plenty of change. No two orders the same. Although an awful lot of people like mayo on their sandwiches and it's hard to go wrong with lettuce and tomato.

The downsides
-My coworkers' choice in music. Rap. Out of all the music I absolutely positively CANNOT stand, it had to be rap. Well, I take hope in the fact that they have heard of Areatha Franklin and MIGHT be persuaded to switch to Motown if I whinge enough about it or something... I dunno. This will have to be done carefully.
-Standing. All. The. Time. But it's good exercise. You burn calories the whole time.
-The pay. It's not much... It's really not. I'm going to be in serious trouble if I can't find a cheap place to live.

Work related stats so far:
1- burned finger on an oven mat thing.
2- customers who spoke Spanish and caused me to realise I need to brush up seriously on my Spanish words for veggies. I can say "Otro mas?" and "Que?" but beyond that I need a review.
4-oz of pastrami per tray, which really looks like a lot... hope I read that right...
5-days of work this coming week
18- tomatoes make a full container of tomato slices.
