Well, as most of you know I did get my diabetes educator job. Though I am also staying in Kingwood as the pharmacist. So basically Rite Aid said either find coverage or work 120 hours a pay period. I am at that point in my career where I have hit the limit of what responsibility I want. I would like to have just one non-Rite Aid day per week. One day where no one from my store calls to ask me any questions. This week is busy but hopefully soon I will have coverage for all my weekends. I guess my partner realized that I wouldn't be there to do a lot of the stuff I did before.
I think last week I hit my point when I had to find coverage so I could go to my grandfather's memorial services.So I worked 9 hours, changed clothes in the bathroom and drove as fast as possible to the funeral home.
It stinks because for the most part I think I really like both jobs. But I have spent too much time at work and have become completely unmotivated at home. I just want to stay in bed and not answer the phone.
I know this sounds like a total bitch fest. It just stinks. I got myself into this situation when being at work was preferable to being at home. And now, I am scraping to get more time with my family, friends, and Claude. So to Hema, RJ, Jess, and Alison: I am really sorry I haven't called as much lately. I am really trying to back out of work and free up more time to do fun things.
My goals for the rest of 2008:
1) be down to 40 hour work weeks by January
2) make a new meal once a week for Claude and I
3) eat 1 meal a week with my family and 1 meal a week with his family (semi-successful at this point)
4) get enough sleep
5) go to visit friends in other cities once a month
6) have 1 "me" day per month
I just wanted to get it all out. At this point I just can't do it anymore. The funny part is that if I were allowed to just do my job and not deal with some of the crap like scheduling and be able to go on vacation without my store being closed, then I actually would like both jobs. I mean retail is retail, but I can deal with it since I only have to actually dispense 2 days a week.
PS for those of you who haven't seen me in awhile, I finally have my pretty smile. I actually smile now, which is something I tried to avoid before. And I at least don't cringe when I look at pictures of myself!
