I discovered a couple of things about working chaotic hours at Walmart. First, that chaotic hours are no fun! Especially when you work late and have to be up early the next morning. Second, that I have a lot more prayer time than I did before. Strange, I know.
In an office setting you make friends and get distracted by idle chatter, lunch dates, etc. At Walmart my schedule is unique and rarely do I have a break with someone I know. Thanks to the Divine Office app on my phone I can say morning or evening prayer while on break. My phone also allows me to read electronic books, so instead of watching whatever mindless program is on the TV I open one of my many books. Right now I am about half way through Welcome to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites by Aloysius Deeney, OCD.
The book is a compilation of speeches given by Aloysius Deeney on the Vocation of OCDS. As an Aspirant I am required to read the first speech on discernment. The others are for my own personal reading.
