I’m exhausted, but it was a good day. I work 10-11hr shifts Friday and Saturday. It’s prime time, and I like to be in the action. I had no drive thru time and dealt directly with customers all day, which was fun, even if I did get a little slap happy and over-caffeinated by the end. I never get tired of talking about weed. Apparently most other dispensaries aren’t as personal and hands on as we are. Idk I just shop at home and live a walkable life. I got some cheap in house edibles to kick my ass a little extra for the night, and now I’m exhausted.
As someone living in a country where weed isn’t even legal (the UK), reading about your long, exhausting shift at a dispensary is kinda surreal.
It’s still kinda surreal here. Multiple people I work with have been arrested for possession, and it’s understood that the majority of experienced users have broken the same laws in similar ways in the past. Some people don’t trust any of it and insist on being furtive. Product has to, by law, leave the building in specific packaging. Some people are scared by the big mylar bag that fits the requirements hate that they can’t stash a disposable vape up their ass in their sleeve or pocket. We jump through all the hoops so they don’t shut us down. Adoption rates and demographics are weird too. I sell to a bunch of, let’s say difficult, old conservatives. They tend to avoid me when they can… But also a ton of just older folks in general. I love teaching old ladies who really want to learn about weed. And that was instant with recreational legalization. A year ago I was ordering weed on the darkweb and getting by on alt cannabinoids. Everyone I worked with were stoners (my old job at a cheap motel) but it wasn’t safe to discuss or assume in general. Feeling out who at work might also use weed was a way of life eight months ago. Now people who don’t respond well to opiods are being sent to us by their doctors. It’s strange, but it’s great.
Starting this day (and week) with a new diet full of fresh produce and lean proteins. Doing a trial run to see what sticks. Trying to improve relationship with food. I feel satisfied with breakfast, so it’s off to a positive start.
I just had breakfast and now I’m on the toilet for my morning dump.
So… pretty great so far!
I have my driving exam tomorrow. I’m stressed as hell. I’m almost forty and postponed it a bit too much. Not sure I’m ready. Not sure I ever will be. Also my dog has a small issue with an eye, it’s a bit red and has pus, so I have to take it to the vet, but if I fail my exam tomorrow then it’s with the bus, which is… complicated. Looking forward to tomorrow being over to be honest !
[EDIT] I passed ! And my dog has just conjonctivites, which can be very easily treated. Am happy.
I PASSED !!! I’m so happy, nobody will read this but I don’t care :)! Freedom, here I come !!!
