I don't think there is one person who 'wants' to work every day. Its just something we have to do to take care of our families. Was I happy about going back to work? Heck no! But I had to do it to survive this economy. Kota is still going through changes and gets upset at times. But we are working through it. Me and hubby both reassure him about how much we love him and how much better things will be for us.
That being said, let me tell you about my co-workers. I have not met too many that seem happy. They constantly complain and talk about other associates. I stay out of it. I mean really, we have to put in our time to get our paychecks, why don't we try to make the best of it?
Yesterday was my first day on the register by myself. I had a great day. I had so many compliments. And a couple people were amazed it was my first day. Oh sure, I had a couple times I needed help but I apologized to my customers and thanked them for their patience. I had some great conversations with customers, I laughed so hard at times! I kind of paid attention to other cashiers. One I didn't see smile all day. I never heard her talking to her customers. That has got to make for one really bad day. I know there are people who truly have bad jobs and lots of stress and I can understand them being unhappy. But come on, this is walmart. Being a cashier is an easy job! You ring things up, put it in bags and accept the payment.
My first couple of days I dreaded going in. I didn't want to work! but now, I am at peace with it. And if I can make one person smile while they are in my line, that makes my day. There are alot of people who cannot find a job, who cannot support their families. So I am going to appreciate the fact that I am able to work and that I found a job quickly.
In other news.... we will be moving this coming weekend!!!! I am working saturday and sunday noon till nine. Darn, I will miss out on all the heavy lifting! hehehe Both my older kids called me on Sunday to check in. Hubby cleaned the kitchen yesterday, and even mopped the floor! So I can say my life is going pretty good for a change. And thursday is pay day for me!
You know when times are rough I am reminded of one of my favorite songs by Crystal Gayle from back in the late 70's. "I'll Do It All Over Again" Here is the chorus ~ " I know that I'll smile again and I know I'll get by again, I'll get back on my feet and then I'll do it all over again." 
Anywho hope all is well. Exciting news about ur new casa
Hope your move is going okay!
