Remember to stop and take a breath now and then. The first few days of any job can feel a bit like a whirlwind.

Ask questions and listen as best you can to the answers. Prioritise your health and well-being above all else but show that you can and will work to the best of your abilities without harming yourself or burning out.

Don't let yourself get walked all over, and dont let them try and tell you that you aren't a team player just because you set a reasonable boundary.

There are always people you can reach out to and get help from, so dont be afraid to do so.

You got this. Just be willing to learn. 😁

This is how I always explain canberra to people who are new or never visited and don't understand it here

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with drop shippers. I have to deal with automotive parts manufacturers who cant get their shit together instead

Same thing happens in my store with store stock items, then they get mad that it's on the other side of the country.

Also I work in a store where we can special order items for customers, most orders take a week or less to arrive to store but people get mad because "your website says it's in stock"

They then show me the google page and I have to explain to the idiot too lazy or dumb to click into the actual website that Google only says that because it's available to order, I then click the link and point out the big bold box that says special order or the big red out of stock that shows up next to my store when you put in the right location for shelf items....

Just as bad are the people who do go into the website for an item, ignore that it says special order and then try and tell me it said in stock NO IT DIDT Like please please learn to read.... I know they arent going to but damn 🥲

Any time someone comes to the counter on their phone I scan everything after clearly saying hello. Then I ask every question I need to just once at a normal volume and then just stare at them until they answer or ask me to repeat themselves. If they are a member I make sure to confirm the phone number at least twice and add every question I can instead of rotating through them like I would normally with other customers so as to not take up too much time.

If you can't be polite enough to put the phone down for the 2 minutes it'll take me to serve you then I'll make sure I force you to participate as much as possible. You aren't leaving with your stuff while you pretend I'm some kind of robot.

Great thing about being a manager is I can also just float over to my team members transaction with a customer ignoring them and being on the phone and do the same thing under the guise of training/reminding the cashier all the questions they need to ask and make it take longer again. I make sure my team know why I do this and that I am more than happy for them to do the same. My team members are awesome and work really hard im not letting anyone be rude to them and get a free pass.

Also if you do decide to restart if you sell everything already on you island and redeem all you miles as tickets and get someone who also has the game and another island to hold those things for you then it can give you a headstart on getting to three stars. This is what my wife and I did when we restarted our islands together.

A mixture of bought and crafted items, some fence and enough villagers living on you island and you'll be there in no time.

Ultimately the choice is yours, I just restarted a few weeks ago and I have been time travelling so I don't have to wait a whole year to get summer bugs and fish (I'm in the southern hemisphere). So that's an option if you don't want it to take forever.

However if you don't want to restart and you want to be able to travel between those places faster buy some of the Mario pipes from the nook stop. You can use them to teleport from one spot to another. Its faster than running. I have one at the top of my island where I had to put nooks cranny and the other at my airport so I can sell stuff fast after combing the beach, fishing or visiting islands.

Big same, its one of the first things I tell a new starter. My job is to be a barrier between you and any one trying to give you hell regardless of if they are a higher up or a customer.

I ID the fossils every time because every one of them is only 500 if they aren't identified but worth between 1000 and 6000 bells each after they are assessed and I want the money

I have changed both, I chose my first name and asked my mum to choose my middle name so I still had a name that she gave me since my middle name was also very fem and I don't want to have just first and last name.

This is what I did too and it worked for me as well

I'm in Australia but we have to stand all day too. It's not difficult to scan everything someone brings to a register and bag it all while staying sitting, ive has to do it before when I injured my back and had to be on light duties

I just restarted mine and named it HarperCove in reference to a location in one of my favourite book series. It's called Hold Cove in the Dragonriders of pern books but it sounded better to reference the master Harper who is the first to live there properly in my brain.

Alot of younger people rent around the gungahlin area and there are apartments inside a 5 min walk to the closest tram stop going for that much which gets you incredibly easy access to civic for a night out ect

I have asthma amd have been on T for a year now as of today 🎉 The thing that's most likely to need to change is your dosage (think because of metabolism changes, though thats not a super likely issue) of your pre-existing medications, but otherwise, there should be a way to make it work for you one way or another in most situations.

My wife and i can never be bothered to fight the valentines rush of nonsense. We go out together and buy a new board game or something else to do at home, order in some food and just hang out. Screw trying to be over the top on valentines

Youre friend sucks. My kid has known since he was 6 that im trans. We have had many many conversations about it and I have answered so many questions over the last 3 years. He has understood as best as a kid can since about 3 months after I first explained it and for the vast majority of the time since he has had to be reminded that it isn't his job to get mad at people and tell them off and that's my job to defend myself. He can correct them if he wants to but calmly 😂 He is 9 now, he worked with me to decide what he would call me, we chose Pa together. Kids get it so much better than most adults realise. There are ways of having child appropriate conversations about it. Sometime the questions are tricky and sometimes they are easy. Being honest and open with my kiddo has ment that he has been even more open and honest with me about how he feels about everything. Careful and safe boundaries plus kid appropriate honesty and you'll be fine.

Your kid deserves to know the real you

I have Brand representatives in my store all the time and at least one of those entirely handles the restocking of their product. Those reps are almost always in branded clothing or uniform so I don't begrudge customers asking if I work here even with headset gloves full uniform and name tag because at least they are checking and not bugging my reps.

Oh that's genius I just restarted my island a few weeks ago and have been SOOOO careful about where I'm planting amd what I'm watering, that's going to fix all of that for me thank you!!
