So my first day of work at a grocery store, being my first job, was today. I was so nervous, and I only got about 2-3 hours of sleep last night. I went to work, and it was slow in the morning, until the cheques started rolling out for the unemployed. I should also mention that I was dehydrated for a lot of the day. I tried not to drink much yesterday because sometimes when I do and am nervous I tend to pee literally every 10 minutes, and that wouldn't be a good first impression, so I took it the hard way and by the end of my 8 hour shift, I was in the most leg pain I have ever been in.
The pain was really bad, not just minor aches. These were massive earthquake volcano aches. I sat for maybe 20 minutes out of the 8 hours.
Again, I'm new to this.
Was the pain just me pulling a workload that I'm not used to? Or did the major lack of sleep and dehydration factor have any part in it?
I'd like to know to prepare better for tomorrow's shift.
Thank you.

Water definately could be a major factor... When you get dehydrated your body crashes... Or you could just be sore from lack of activity to lots of activity...
