Well done @Anastasia ! I think you're doing a one hour shift every day now? I'm not sure for how long...I hope you relax into the role (although it sounds fast-paced) and enjoy it.
💚👍🌞☕

Hello dear @NatureLover
Yes one hour, although door to door it's about three, not ideal at all but I committed to it so I'll do it but cannot wait for the time to be up. 10 more days.
It's good practice but today was a disaster, all of the equipment decided to play up and I felt like an idiot.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day and on the upside by the time I'm trading I'll be an expert at troubleshooting!!!
Hope you are well, I miss our chats, hugs, sunshine and coffee to you 🤗🌞☕

Three hours door to door...but it seems like you're getting lots of valuable experience! Yes, including with things breaking down, like you say, you'll be an expert at troubleshooting! 😄
Sorry you felt like an idiot 😞 I guess that's normal at the start of a new activity unfortunately.
I miss our chats too, but am here ready for whenever you want to chat. I think you already have plenty on your plate right now!

I had to giggle - somehow I read this as "bugs, sunshine and coffee to you"!!! 😄 I'll take the sunshine and coffee but not the bugs, thanks 😄

Haha it's a bug's Life @NatureLover 🐛🐞
Off to the big smoke this morning for a training course. I'm excited!!!!!
After yesterday I decided that whilst I have no control over breakdowns if I feel confident that I know what I'm doing I'll be ok!
Enjoy your day gorgeous ☕🌷🌞
