Ashton: I got to play with a cash register and fondle yarn and then my retail job took a turn for the worse

So, I recently got a job in retail. It was my first such experience, unless you count the year I worked at a frozen yogurt shop when I was 15, which I’m not sure counts.

For most of the rest of my life, I’ve been a writer (and for a bit an Uber driver). I make my own schedule. I’ve never clocked in or clocked out, and I soon realized that I’ve become accustomed to this flexibility.

The new job was at a yarn shop, which I figured would be the best way to offset the huge amount of money I personally spend on yarn.
