Whew. I'm utterly exhausted. But I don't mind it one bit. Why you ask? Well, I'll tell you!
For the last 5 days, I've been going in to work at 8 am and getting off somewhere between 6 and 7:30 pm. That's right, I've been working anywhere from a 10 to an 11 and a half hour day for 5 days. That's enough to wear anyone out. Why the long days? Well I've finally moved into the activities department at Somerby. I absolutely love it, and my schedule will soon level out to Monday-Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. I've been working both activities and the kitchen for the last few days, because I didn't want to leave the girls in the kitchen overloaded and understaffed, considering we just lost our supervisor and we're under new management. And the overtime will be really pretty on my paycheck! (Especially considering I got a pay increase from $6.50 an hour to $8 an hour!)
I feel like this change couldn't have had anymore perfect of timing. First, Wanda (the dining room manager/my kitchen supervisor) quit Somerby. Then I started feeling really worthless and lonely all the time, because school and trail both ended at the same time. I didn't have anything to keep me busy and I didn't know what to do with myself. I feel like this new job is just what I needed to fix everything. I love it, and it's giving me a chance to get my feet wet in the Therapeutic Recreation field, which is what I'm planning on going to school for starting this fall. So far, I absolutely love it and I think I'll enjoy doing it for the rest of my working days. Good stuff.
Anyhow, I just thought that I'd update everyone and let you know that I'm still among the living, even though I haven't updated in a while!
