Dakotah Territories

I had my first day of work at the Dakotah Territories Gift Shop today. It went pretty well (only an 8 hour day, compared to my usual 10), but I didn't really have much opportunity to sit down at all -- so my feet really hurt tonight. I learned the cash register operation fairly easily (with only a few errors) and I am getting much better at counting back change. Unfortunately, I have about 5 or 6 things that I want to buy now (from that shop alone) and I still have no money...

Hopefully I'll be able to get to the grocery store in Dickinson on Saturday. I've been craving pickles since Sunday when Sharen (one of the ladies that works in the gift shop at the Chateau) was talking about them. I'm also running pretty low on food, but I should be able to make it until Saturday. I might go over to the Chateau to make pasta salad and spaghetti tomorrow morning, though.

The Medora Musical started last night and apparently it was pretty chilly. (I haven't gone yet. I plan to wait a few weeks -- and I haven't gotten my free ticket yet.) Carol (the lady I work with in the DT Gift Shop) said that lots of people were in the store yesterday buying jackets and sweatshirts. I don't blame them... This weekend it's supposed to be chilly -- only 50ish degrees during the day (I'd like to compare that to temperatures in Iowa).

Anyway, I'm pretty tired and I'm working again tomorrow at the DT Gift Shop (not until 10:30, unless I go to the Chateau).
