Smile For the (Security) Camera

I have decided that few things are more intensely boring than having to look busy.

Other salespeople seem to have no qualms about standing around gabbing when there aren't many customers. Somehow, though, I can't do that. I go dust something or fold something or change the mannequins' clothing. (I was like that before when I worked there, it's not just because we're on security-cam now. Really.)

No wonder I'm losing weight.

And my abs hurt. I have a very light exercise routine - to which I am often unfaithful - so I couldn't figure out why the burn?

It's because I'm standing all those hours, erect posture, sucking in the gut! It's because I have to wear dress clothes, things that show whatever figure I have, and so I keep the chin up the shoulders back the abs tensed all blessed day.

Maybe I should carry aspirin to work until I get used to it.
