yay for 12 hour work days 7 days a week
its been a while since i posted something on here. just very busy with working a lot.
this past month has been a bit challenging. i pretty much lost 4 employees in the span of 2 weeks. one employee quit, two of them left town to pursue their career goals, and the other i couldnt have on staff since she didnt have a copy of INS authorization to work at my job. for most of my month, ive been focusing on hiring good people. at the same time, i had to still have a schedule that made up for the losses i suffered. right now, i hired a lot of good people with great potential. three of them are college grads, one is finishing soon, and the other went to med school just wanting some parttime hours. i also got one of my old employees back since she was done with her semester at school. finally, im probably going to add one more person on my staff to fully round out my roster. once theyre all trained, i can finally take it easy. but for now, ive been workin non-stop for a lil bit. these 10-12 hour days can be taxing, but in the end, itll be worth it. anyway, i need to make sure everything is running smoothly by next weekend on my scheduled days off.
a couple weeks ago, i went out to the clubs and bars for the first time in what seems like forever. friday the 13th was my employee Jill's going away party and went w/ my friend scott from work and met up w/ Jill and her friends. it was fun just chilling out and doing the party thing. only bad thing was having to work the next morning. i didnt get back from the club until 4am and took a "nap." after the nap, i went to work. it seemed like a bad idea having to go out the night before and then working the next morning, but it wasnt the first time ive done that. i wasnt badly hungover, but just really really tired. work went by fast and i went home, hoping to get at least some sleep. unfortunately, i didnt and ended up watching hockey until the night. that night, i went over to my friends house where she was having a party. my friend Pauley had a small get together at her place and there were a bunch of people from different parts of the world that i got to meet. it was fun, but i was feeling the effects of sleep depravation. and again, i had to work the next morning. i left the party about 2am and went to sleep about 3am. i got a little more sleep, but i still consider that a nap. work went slow and i was just ready to go home after an hour. by the time it was 2pm, i was just out of it. i went home and nearly passed out. i ended up watching tv, but eventually fell asleep. it wasnt a bad weekend at all, but only getting 7 hours total of sleep is probably not healthy.
anyway, im gonna try to go get sleep now while i can.
