lazy-ass week of little productivity
I've been off all this week. Why else would you catch me blogging at 3am? Yup, my sleep schedule is WAAAAAY off. Anyway, I took the week off because of some circumstances at work. Last Wednesday, my supervisor tells me that since I've gotten the company caught up on data entry, my last day would be Friday. She seemed genuinely sad that she had to let me go, and even offered me a full-time job. I politely declined the offer, citing that I could use a little time off before I go into another temp job....which is true....but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking "HOLYCRAPIMOUTTAHEREATLAST!" Fast-forward to Friday 5:00pm. I walk down to my supervisor's office to say my last goodbyes, when I'm instantly told that the head-honcho freaked when he heard I was being let go because, allegedly, there was STILL more data to be entered. Also, the higher-ups really liked my work ethic compared to some of the other "jokers" Stivers has sent them in the past. (One of the higher-ups claims that a former temp worker averaged 26 data entry listings a DAY. CRAP!! On a bad day, I probably average 600. No wonder they wanted to keep me!!)
Long story short: I'm staying around for a while longer. Because I'm weak. Because I'm hungry for money. Because I'm so needed! They sweetened the deal by telling me that as long as I get substantial work done, they don't care if I take a few days off, or make my own hours. Gee, I would have loved to have known that from the outset...then again, I would have slacked off much sooner and made substantially less moolah.
Part of my negotiations for my lengthened stay was to have this week OFF! They gladly induldged me, and it's been a great decompression!
Monday -- Practiced music for Church, Zauberflöte and Lessons
Tuesday -- Didn't do shit; went to see Spelling Bee (more on this later...for sure!)
Wednesday -- Didn't do shit; practiced for Church and Zauberflöte; went to Choir practice; Dressels!
Thursday -- Didn't do shit; spent 4 hours at BORDERS; watched Little Children (good flick!)
Today -- Wake up for free food at WU Music Dept Commencement reception; go back home/pass out; maybe visit the family
In any case, I hope this has recharged me for returning to work on Monday.
