| So, I'm in the middle of my 16th straight day of working without a day off. I was really bummed there for a while because I was scheduled to work all weekend long at Ruby's this coming weekend. As it turns out, somone wanted my Saturday shift so I gladly let them have it. It was an easy decision since I'm working about 11 hours on Sunday. If I hadn't given up that Saturday shift, that would mean I would go at least 26 straight days without a day off. Its getting to be a bit too much. I feel like I have so much to do that I can't get things accomplished. My full time job is getting so busy that I'm having to push work off onto the weekend. Unfortunately, my weekends are already packed, so little gets done. I'm glad that I work with good people. People who are patient, understanding, and encouraging. I just wish that I was in a position where I could give up my second job. Two weeks ago I was scheduled to be out of town all weekend but those plans fell through. I had two full days with no work. It was amazing. I didn't know what to do with myself. I can't imagine having two full days off each week. Spending full days hanging out with friends or family. . . Sounds nice. But for now, I will have to continue working both jobs and deal with it.  | | |
| So. . .I never really update this and I feel stupid for having it. Then I will spend some time and try to post a new entry and when I get done I read through it and think its stupid or boring so I erase it. Oh well, I get more pleasure out of reading other people's entries than I do writing my own. Right now things are pretty good for me. Work is going good and I feel like I continue to learn new things all the time. My duties and title have been changed so that I deal a lot more with the program management issues of my clients. Its pretty cool, but I spend a lot more time doing paper work than I used to and I'm not fond of that. I'm SOOOO glad its the weekend. I really enjoy my weekends and I am constantly looking forward to them. Its weird because I usually work at least one or two shifts on the weekend so its not much of a break. I just love getting to spend quality time with friends and sleeping in. I have no idea what I'll be doing this weekend, but I know who I'll be with and thats all that matters.
I just found out I will be spending a week in Vancouver around the end of April. I'm really excited because I've been told its amazing. I went to get my passport picture today. I was really excited about that until I saw the picture. Its horrible. 8 dollars for the worst picture of my life. Canada shouldn't let me into their country with a picture like that. 
o. . .There you have it. . .I finally put up and entry of significance. Don't get used to it. | | |
| So off to Colorado it is. I have never been this ready and excited to go anywhere. I feel that right now I need this vacation more than ever. Well, enough babbling, I'm off and can't wait for that first shot of the mountains. | | |
| Starting at the end of last week, it seems like everyone around has been sick. Literally about half the people that I work with had a cold or flu. I was determined not to get sick, so starting on Wednesday of last week I began eating Vitamin C pills like Skittles. I also found myself washing my hands and using hand sanitizer obsessively. For a while, I thought I had won the battle. Yet, by Monday evening I was coughing, sniffling, and sneezing like crazy. Its a horrible feeling when you feel like you did everything possible to avoid getting sick and it was to no avail. Monday night, I was up until about 5:00 in the morning because I couldn't stop coughing long enough to get to sleep. When I finally did nod off, I was so out cold that I slept right through my alarm. I managed to rush myself enough to make it to work on time, but I felt pretty awful. Luckily, I had a slow day planned. So, I took most of the day off. I went home and slept for 5 hours and just loafed around the house the rest of the day. I've been coughing and sneezing so much that my ab muscles are aching. I do feel quite a bit better today. I'm still coughing some and I'm a little stuffed up, but mostly I feel pretty good. Hopefully, by the weekend I'll be over this mess and be ready to put in another hectic work-filled weekend at my other job. | | |
