so work has been exhausting it has actually been 11 to 12 hour shifts not 10 and half... i dont really get a break unless i have to go to the bathroom. it is super intense not only am i in charge of washing dishes and general sanitation. but also the oysters. i work at an oyster bar... thats a shit ton of shucking. i am not very good at it. and i actually stabbed myself in the hand with the shucking knife, in the web between my thumb and forefinger... it is extremely painful stingy even worse i have to spend nearly half my time sticking my hand in bleach and hot soapy water. at least the wound is clean? anyway. i have a "day off" tomorrow which will be spent doing house/van boy duties. i do like this job tough the pay and the hours are kind of shite. it is a good learning experience... and it is work, hard work which i do enjoy i am exhausted... i can't imagine doing the crazy 7 shifts a week the last guy did. without overtime. thats over 70 hours a week... thats insane... i am sorry but i am not working more than four shifts a week my body cannot handle that neither will my need to get laid and see my friends/family. i did the calculations 4 shifts a week will cover my bills and rent and a good amount of cash to save up. This will be fine until my surgery date (hopefully october?) or a better job rolls around. i will continue applying and saving... the good things bout this job, free food free beer and i am working out without putting any extra effort. and it is in cash...i do want a real job someday... one i don't have to absolutely kill myself for that i know my bills can get paid and perhaps the world and people can benefit from. it feels good to work though. i am happy... just exhausted.
