My mortal enemy is an electronic box.

Occasionally the degree of beauty a place holds has a direct correlation with the number of jobs you need to stay there. In Humboldt County the average number is 3 and mine were, until two months ago, all in the creative field.
I have a cute little part time job that requires the use of a…………………………cash register. Or as I call it, the panic machine.
When I got that work permit at 15 to pour low-cal yogurt they had a cash register too. I am familiar with the “idea”. But there is something about someone else’s money and a sequence of buttons that throws me into a freeze. In the beginning only when things got complicated, and now, only when there’s a really long line or I’m checking out anyone I work with. 20 year old coworkers exchange eye rolls at my expense and my register ineptitude has become the running joke, which makes it about a million times worse. It feels like that season of 5th grade soccer where I choked on every goal as I dribbled to the goal thinking, don’t choke you fucking idiot, don’t choke. I had a filthy mouth for a 10 yearold.
Then I wake up at 2 am thinking “What the fuck is wrong with me? Why can I not press a sequence of buttons in the correct fashion in front of someone who thinks I’m going to fail? Why have I built up a large grey electronic box into my mortal enemy, testing my IQ with every transaction? Why is my pillow so hard and flat?”
Then, a calming and decisive voice in my head says “write it out, bitch.” And I do. Then it says “Hey, lets check out youporn and get back to sleep the fun way.”
Were you eavesdropping on the people behind you in line at the post office? Aww... we know you didn't mean to listen, but did they really just say that? Send it to us and if its funny (or awful) we'll put it in 'The Eavesdroppings' of our next issue. Tell us where you heard it.
Send it here.
