Busy little me.
I've been so busy this last week. I was asked to go on this new programme thing at work, which means now instead of working 9-3, I work 8-5. Its exhausting, and i mean exhausting! I've been getting up at 6:30 every morning, getting down the yard for about 7:50ish and starting straight away feeding the horses and mucking out, etc. Let me give you a rough idea of how hard it's been on me..
I'm working on a yard that has over 50 horses and ponies, plus a new foal. So, I go in and there is only like 5-6 members of staff. The yard is split into 3 sections where the stables are. There's bottom yard, middle yard and top yard. I've been going in and feeding both top AND middle yard on my own, mucking out middle yard on my own whilst the others work on bottom. I'm constantly doing jobs for people when they ask, and so far, I feel like I'm doing their shitty jobs that they can't be bothered to do. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it there, but sometimes, I think they're taking advantage of the 'new girl', and I wouldn't mind so much if they said the odd thank you.
Thursday was ok though, as was Friday. Yeah, I was doing stuff on my own, but nearly all the staff have began to see how hard I'm working and therefore, i'm getting a lot of praise and stuff, which is always nice. Yesterday was especially nice because one of the women came up to me and told me that she thought I should know the boss actually asked who I was and said I was extremely pleasant with her, the customers and when she see's me, I'm always doing something and busy, and not standing around, and I say morning to her, smile and actually look like I'm enjoying it there.
Not everyone gets complimented by her, so I was really happy and then, they all decided to give me a free riding lesson which was really good as well. So hopefully, things will start to look up.
Anywho, enough on my job. Thank you to everyone who offered to host me. I actually found a host though, thanks to Tim.. hehe, Tracey from pistol-kisses.org has decided to host me! I will hopefully get that site up soon, but everyday so far, i've been coming in from work and falling asleep. lol! So i'll work on it tonight and perhaps get it running on sunday or something :)
Hope everyone is ok!
