no thoughts. eat paint.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

they were so adamant about "you HAVE to make a new schedule every week" that our director of ops basically had to say "just send me you permanent schedule every week and I'll say you're doing it"

always know when you're scheduled because it's the same every week

easy to track your hours because they're the same every week

don't need to worry about being scheduled when you're not available because it's the fucking same every week

easier to get time off and shifts covered in advance because you always know what days you'd need off ahead of time

easier to schedule around school

easier to have a second job since your availability here won't change

if you need to change your schedule you can just talk to one of the managers ahead of time

and from the management side:

pretty much all of the above makes our lives easier

always know how many people you have working

so we generally know ahead of time if we're gonna be short staffed and need to ask for extra help

we know if we should start hiring again/how many people we need to hire based on how many shifts are open on the schedule

also, it's strongly incentivized not to run low on staff since we have to be in the stores running them all the time, so if we're short it fucking sucks for us too

and, since we're in the store all the time, we can tell which shifts don't need any more people too
