exhausted

I think I may be starting to burn out a little. I'm starting to hate going to my second job, especially the weekend shifts because I don't get a good break anymore. Maybe my schedule next month will be nicer with less Friday nights. Really didn't want to be there last night, but I was fine. However, people who don't want to do their damn jobs piss me off. Asking them to do something is like it is a chore, and not their job. Then taking longer on your break because you "had to poop", yet not even breaking back in when you come back. Then asking me if you can have a "quick" smoke break later, when you already too more than your alloted break time. I shouldn't be so nice to them.

tired

so so tired today. Worked late. So glad I am off until Monday. Almost called in to my day job today I was so tired. Hubby even said I looked ridiculously tired.

I miss the weekends of pure relaxation. Not worrying about needing to work, or be a certain place, etc. A friend of mine had pictures posted of her Father's Day with her family.  I miss that. Sure I get to spend some town out the bay with my families, but the time is cut short and overshadowed by knowing I need to work at a certain time.

My tiredness is not going to contribute well to my patience today... ugh

still waiting

Haven't been updating as much. Maybe I've been thinking less, or at least not focusing on things. Plus I'm busy, and still holding onto hope to get that new job. Haven't heard anything yet, and haven't received a rejection letter yet, so I'm still hoping. Looks like I'm not hearing anything today.

My work schedule for this month is pretty consistent. Almost always Monday, Friday, and Sunday closes.

Went home last weekend. Took Friday off from the day job to tidy up around the house, do laundry, etc. Then went out home that evening. Visited some family friends on the way out, then stayed at my parents. Helped mom all day Sunday, which was tiring but nice. Had some Robin's for a late lunch, and Chinese food for a late supper - which was soooo tasty. Really hit the spot. Sunday I got up, dropped of stuff to my in-laws(saw the kittys), had roast with my parents, then spent some time with my brother, his wife, and my nephew. Nephew  is some sweet. Melted my heart when he had his little arms right around me in a hug and was coming for kisses. What a sweetheart. Not sure if I am going out tomorrow or not. May go out to help mom again if she needs me, and see my nephew. If not, we'll go out next weekend when hubby also has Saturday off.

Working tonight. Should be a good shift. There are extra people scheduled so hopefully will have a good night, not be there too late, and have decent times as well.

Hubby is starting to build our fire pit between tonight and tomorrow. Can't wait to have fires with friends in our backyard. I'd have one by myself some night just to have an excuse to go outside. Even read by the fire. mmm =)

panic

Note to self: don't go through the center of the med school when convocation is on the go. I just had to pass through to bring a file to purchasing and nearly had a panic attack. Too many people together in a place that agitates my OCD. Especially when some lady comes out of the bathroom and touched my arm with her wet hands.

Can't wait to go home tomorrow.

tired day

So so so so so tired today. Was awake this morning sometime after 4am with a sick stomach. Got back in bed around 4:45am or so. I had enough trouble getting to sleep in the first place, so this was very uncool. Working again tonight so I'm going to be quite tired again tomorrow morning.

My interview on Thursday went well. I feel pretty good about it, so I'm hoping to hear something this week. *crossing fingers*

My plan all weekend kinda kept getting shuffled up, and noting really went as I had planned, but I still managed to see some friends for a little bit. Saturday night I wasn't quite myself. Sunday I worked until 7pm. We were super busy for lunch to mid afternoon, but overall good shift. After that I just came home, got cleaned up, and relaxed.

 I think I need to take a day off from my day job sometime soon. I'm exhausted today, and getting mentally exhausted with working so much. I just wanna go out the bay and see my parents, family, and nephew.

Weekend

This holiday weekend ended up being different than originally anticipated. My first aid course got cancelled, without me getting a notice, therefore I was up and thre 9am on Saturday morning after working later Friday night, only to wait around with a group of people for an hour before I left. But I did then get George Street bagels which were yummy, and although I lost out on sleep, I now had the whole day to relax/do whatever.

Sunday I got to sleep in as I no longer had first aid, then I worked from 3:45 until close. I had a customer that shift that fully reminded me exactly why I love working at my second job. 

They had a complaint, I could hear something was wrong while serving another customer. When finished with my other customer, I asked how I could help her. I listened to her story, offered to correct it, and in return she complimented me so many times on my professionalism and kindness! She said I looked like someone who should be in business, and I told her I have my BBA, and work this job on the side. She thanked me again numerous times as she left and asked me for my name. She said she wanted to call in to let someone know how professional, courteous, and friendly I was. All of this made my day - in fact, my whole weekend!! I couldn't stop smiling the rest of my shift. =D This is why I love working in customer service. It can be frustrating at times,you may have to deal with some tough people/situations, and not everyone is always happy, but it is moments like THAT that make it worth it.

Monday I enjoyed a lazy day around the house. Slept in, finished my book 419, watched Brave, Game of Thrones from Sunday night, and started reading Game of Thrones. After a late supper, Michael and I played catch up on one of our shows. It was a nice, relaxing, lazy day. Unfortunately I had trouble getting to sleep last night, but that was probably due to sleeping in Sunday and Monday.

Found out I am not working this Friday night now, which means I have this weekend and next weekend with only Sunday shifts! Pet Expo next weekend, out home at some point over the next two weeks, and camping sometime over the next two weeks.

Hope our bicycles get brought in town tomorrow. Exercise! Nice weather! Outside!

Some Positive Updates

This week has been pretty good. The combination of a good night at work Sunday, then having Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night off has helped.

I also got a call today for an interview on Thursday with another department at work. 1 Year contract, and seems like I'll have more "administrative" work to do compared to now, even though technical same title. So here's hoping it goes well. Is still not my ideal job, but it would be a better position, job security for another year, and a better location on campus.

Hubby and I are going to go to the Keg tonight. He has a $50 gc so we are going to go eat in the bar part and have a more casual/cheaper meal. Will be nice, especially as we haven't really done anything on my nights off this week. He is working until 8ish so I will go home and do some housework first and have that done by the time he is back.

Work tomorrow and Sunday night, First Aid Saturday and Sunday. I have Monday off from both jobs which will be nice to relax and get a sleep in. Even though the past 2 mornings I have woken up earlier than need - perhaps because I had went to bed earlier (not early by no means) than I do when I work in the evening.

Some of my positive outlook may also be coming from looking at my 2nd job as a potential gateway to more career growth than my current one. We'll see what happens. My options are pretty open.

Looking forward to this weekend, even though it will be busy. Bad weather forecast, but hopefully still got some bbqing and hangage with friends Saturday night.
