It's a church non-profit classified as a "retail" thrift store.

Meant to aid the homeless and needy.

Here in Virginia, I needed it.

I certainly needed the income because my funds or money have dried up or almost have.

But goddamn, tomorrow's the first day.

It's a small building and it's pretty homely from what I've seen of it.

Commute is 30 minutes long, but I'm transferring to another area that's about 10 to 15 minutes away in a month or two.

I'm on a probationary period as a full-time worker for three months so my job seems safe for the time being.

But I have to do cashier-work, pricing and stocking, and lift to about 50 lbs., among other retail work.

Honestly? Nobody ever had me do cashier-work before in all the time I've worked retail before. Is there a video or source online that walks you step-by-step on how to do it? And what about pricing and stocking items?

Usually, I did backroom work before and even that I found a bit hard.

I get paid $13.00, which is more than I received before.

They said it would be busy now.

I'm sure I can do it... but goddamn, I'm nervous...

I’m also hoping to live independently with my older brother in our own house; we’ll be pooling our money together in that case.

And maybe do my transition (HRT) in the meantime, though I’m not sure exactly when.

Work is, again, full-time. 9:30 AM to 6 PM.
