I haven't really been talking about it to anyone, because see above re: having no connection at all to the rest of my life. There are some people and they seem nice. I put price tags and security tags on clothes and hang them up sometimes and break down boxes and put them in the recycling. The other guy in the warehouse (which is in the basement of the store) keeps the local traffic station on all the time for background noise, and I wonder if the announcers it employs, repeating the same headlines and bulletins and exhortations to call in with minute variations every five minutes for hours on end, feel as weird and detached about their work as I do about mine.

I mean, it's not bad. Plus, money! It's just that most of the stuff I'm learning, I don't know if it will ever be important in any other context at all.
