...definitely a four letter word lol
So happy to have a job to help take some of the stress off my wonderful husband who has let me basically be a bum for the last many years...but then the real estate market went into the toilet.
But OMG, my feet are killing me. Really makes me feel old LOL...but my job for now is working at a Naturalist at an Aquarium in one of the casinos (we basically stand at different locations [all on concrete] for most of our shifts and answer questions/interact with the guests).
So if any of you have jobs where you are standing all day, would appreciate hearing what Shoes you wear (or what you do) to stop your feeties from aching... one of my toes has been numb for 3 days. I've tried Gellins (Dr. Scholls), thick socks, good shoes (Eccos) etc... don't know if I just need to get used to it or if I need better shoes. I actually wore my Sketchers on a whim yesterday because the bottoms are so thick and springy and they were a bit better...
Anyone have any ideas? This is a short term gig, seasonal til Labor Day... then hoping to move on somewhere else. Have something else in the works *fingers crossed* but still waiting to hear back from the HR department...not as much standing and closer to home...but def Not Complaining...with 14.5% unemployment in our city and the last real estate market expected to turn around in the country, I am truly counting my blessings. So many people out of work here (literally Thousands will line up for job openings here)...I pray that this mess the Country is in will turn around sooner rather than later. So many people are hurting and struggling now...
