It's been a few days since my last post, but there's no drama to report. The supermarket has done a big upgrade and all of the employees have helped out. We've rearranged the layout of the store, all of the shelves have been repositioned and the most of the items have different places in the store noe. We did all of that and let me tell you it's not a simple job. Each shelf has its own chart to where things go and we need to follow that, which is quite mentally exhausting. Then there's the physical aspect of moving heavy stuff, too. We started Saturday afternoon and was finished Monday evening, so it's a massive effort.
It's taken its toll on me personally. First and foremost by the fact that there are so many people around you: Electricians, carpenters and many other people do their job. I'd say it's a bit chaotic but there's a plan to this chaos. Having to deal with so many is a bit out of the ordinary for me but I don't mind. We had the opportunity to talk while working and having a lot of fun. The project is quite social and important for making a team. Eventhough I could only sit in my sofa when I got home I would do it again. Being part of a team givees me a boost, so does spending time with colleagues and being appreciated for my contribution.
In other news, football season has started again and this is my 9th season as season ticket holder. I remember watching the games as a kid, dreaming about seeing a game live. The rush you get when walking out on the stands is still as fresh as it was the first time I watched a game. 9 seasons are a lot of games, and a lot of happy moments as well as sad moments. That's the beauty of the game. You and many thousands of people go each match, sharing a passion. What you also share are the good and bad times as a unit. The feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself is there just as it is at work. A good or bad result in the end doesn't matter; watching football has given me so much fun. And after all, nothing becomes history as quickly as a bad result.
