Things are finally starting to slow down in my life, work is getting slower and slower, and I have found I have nothing to do anymore! I’ve been so busy with school and work that I don’t know what to do when I’m off of work and have my homework done.. Work has gotten to the point where I get maybe 2 days a week, I don’t mind it being slow right now , but I could use the money. I’m thinking about getting a 2nd job, but I don’t know how that would work with school , so I’m trying to save as much as possible and work as much as I can when my boss needs me. I’m starting to miss everyone at work, usually I’ll see everyone at least one time that I work throughout the week , but I’m usually there during the day and they work at night. When I do get to see them , were busy and don’t have time to actually talk to them, I even miss the delivery guys, whether it’s they deliver beer or our food, I’m use to seeing them at least once a week and now I don’t see them at all. I see them driving back and forth to other places but I never get to talk to them. As you might be able to tell, there aren’t very many of us that work in the kitchen, so we get to know every delivery guy that delivers for us. These ones know my car, so when I see them on the road we’ll wave at each other, but I have no idea what their names are! I doubt they know mine, but they’re my favorite! Well that was my week!
Lucky. I would kill to get a couple days off work. The last 3 weeks I've worked over 40 hours every week and it is killin me. I am always exhausted.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I had to cut my hours at work down until this semester is over. Way too much going on!!! I miss the extra money. And Christmas is around the corner and I have daughters and grandchildren to buy for! I miss my customers at work. I work at a convenience store and am attached to most of the customers. Living in such a small town as New Athens, you get to know everybody. So just hang in there. Things will get better!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was like you and could have all my work done and school work. I strive to get all my papers wrote, but it just is not happening. I have too much going on and to many people wanting me to do things for them. I am only one person but my family thinks that there are four of me. I have to get crabby with them for them to realize I cannot do all that they want me to do. I have school work to get done. I hate having to get like that but I have tried the nice thing and it just is not working. So they get the crabby me.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about the work thing. Before I lost my job back in 2009 we where not working that often. It made it hard financially. I missed everyone so much. When I found out that the plant was closing, I was devastated and all I could do was cry. I finally had a good job that had all the benefits you could ever need or want, and I got paid very well. I still miss working there. I am glad though that I am not working full time and going to school though, especially with two kids. I am not saying that I couldn't do it, but it would be hectic. I am sorry about your job and hope things improve soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm use to being busy, with work and school.. last semester i was working 40hour weeks plus school fulltime, it was crazy. I love working , it gives me something to do instead of sit at home do my homework, but now that i don't work as much, i'm so use to getting my stuff done a head of time that i have nothing to do after i finish...It's always slow around this time, it's just the fact that there are 4 of us that do "prep" so to give everyone hours it sucks. Usually there are only 2 of us, so im use to getting more hours. it really sucks though because i'm the head "prep" person and i'm never there so if someone screws up it comes back on me. I HATE it
