My first day back since taking Cat pay in April is Friday. I'm going to be honest, I work really well from home so I'm dreading going back. Irregardless I don't hate my job at all, just getting myself back in the going to work mindset.

​

What I am nervous about is that I'm being thrown right back into training two green beans. I've been with the company for right around a year now so I'm not doubting my abilities, more so I'm worried about training in this novel situation we're in.

​

Also, I'm nervous about the masks. I wear glasses and can get pretty claustrophobic from wearing a mask an entire day/shift. So I'm hoping I'll be able to work through that and not get light headed. I ordered some personal reusable masks for myself that should be here in a few days so hopefully that might help outside of the Starbucks mandated ones.

​

Anyways those are just my thoughts. I'm excited to have Starbucks again and making my own drinks, as I haven't gone at all since taking Cat pay. And I'm trying to stick it out here for a bit longer and when things open up I'm going to try to get a second job/full-time job depending. But I'm excited about having 20 sessions of free therapy from Lyra (I met my therapist and really like what I've seen so far), and there are other perks that just work for me right now. So who knows!

​

I guess I have some pent up emotions and worries about heading back to work so I thought I'd share this with people who might better understand where I'm coming from!
