I put in an eight-hour shift at the store today. Even though I changed registers fairly frequently, it's a long time for me to stand.
Feet are sore, but now I'm home, so that will be getting better shortly. Ah, well, it's a minor inconvenience and affords a goodly portion of the income I lost when my old job evaporated.
Things could be a lot worse, after all.
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

This is true, and we DO like to actually buy/afford things, which prompts people like us to go find work... sigh
Age has caught up with me and I can't stand for long periods. Unfortunate, as there are a lot of high paying flagger jobs going begging and I like being outside.
NFO - concur. Working beats breaking even on expenses, so ... here we are.
WSF - I hear you. I've done enough damage to my knees over the years that standing is not easy, anymore.
I feel your pain. I walked the other day, not that far, but I was feeling it for several days. I just got to the point I needed to get outside, before our fluffy season starts. feel better
Thanks, Rob. I understand. Feet, knee, lower back (dating back to Navy days) ... the list of parts which ache from standing is longer than it used to be.
And this it what keeps me up and going, bills to pay...
Agreed, TB. The motivation is sufficient.
