i work at a grocery store that has a clothing department, evening shift, general recovery and customer service stuff. thing is, we dont get very many customers in the evening, so its mostly recovery, and recovery is boring as shit. i have anxiety. my anxiety flares up when i am doing something i dont want to do (work) in a place i dont want to be (work) for an amount of time i dont want to spend (10.5 hours including commute and breaks). my solution to this anxiety is podcasts, for some innoffensive background noise that can keep me grounded and pass the time quicker. this is not allowed at my job for safety reasons. i use them anyway for a bit, get caught thrice, and now i am just going to listen to the goddamn thing without headphones. so if youre shopping at a washington fred meyer and you hear some weird podcast, blame tadesa for being a narc asshole who cant mind her own goddamn business
