Long Post.... BEWARE
So.. to begin my post on how the last week has been, I felt the need to show you all my schedule more or less of the last few days.
Wednesday 3-close at Shakeys (auburn, al)
Thursday 11-3:30 EST at Applebees (columbus, ga) 3:00-close at Shakeys CMT
Friday 11-3:30 EST at Applebees 3:00-close at Shakeys CMT
Saturday 11:00-6:00 EST at Applebees
Sunday 11-3:30 EST at Applebees 3:00-close at Shakeys CMT
And that's just my work schedule, when I'm not at either job I have been studying the menu and my final test for Applebee's, and also training our crazy new dog that we'll be babysitting, possibly indefinitely. So I've been tired and cranky. AND on Friday? or Saturday whichever was New Year's Day. I was rushing to find something to eat before my second double but everything was closed. So in my frustration, I managed to not notice that the light at the intersection that I was approaching had turned yellow. So with the semi-icy roads that morning I tried to stop short and ended up sliding halfway into the intersection. And of course there happened to be a cop right there. So he pulled me over and I couldnt find my insurance card because I had switched wallets. So he gave me warnings for 1. Failure to Stop at a Street Light 2. Speeding and 3. Failure to provide proof of insurance. luckily he gave me warnings because I was about to cry thinking about how I was going to afford to pay these tickets.
So after my crazy week at work, I had today off from both jobs. So I stayed up late talking to Bobby. Then slept in till around 11 or so and kinda just lazed around the house. Becky and I spent alot of time with Flex, our new pit bill mix puppy. We're babysitting him for a complete stranger, and he is not trained or disciplined at all. He's a sweet dog, but him and Georgia fight. So we've all been stressed out because Flex is a big muscular dog and he could hurt Georgia. But long story-short, we took the both of them to Ms Rebecca and they're getting along fine now.
Then tonight Becky and Erika invited me to go to dinner with them at their friend's Molly and Ari's house. I was feeling kinda shitty but just thought it was the lack of caffiene for the day. So we get to their house and I'm really starting to feel ill, ringing in my ears, feeling dizzy, having trouble seeing, but I didnt want to excuse myself or ask for a glass of water because I was hoping to not draw attention to myself and hopefully this feeling will go away. Next thing I know, Becky has her arms around me, I'm crouched over my knees and everyone's asking me if I'm okay. I guess I passed out, but I dont remember, and I wasn't on the floor. Ari got me water and I sat down and once I had some juice in me I felt tons better. But I was so embarassed. This was my first real time meeting them and I pass out in their livingroom. I guess my blood sugar just got too low.
My last two shifts at Shakey's are tomorrow and wednesday night. then I have thursday off and work friday and saturday at applebee's. Its so weird working at a full service restaurant. Completely different that what I'm used to. But hopefully I'll do well, everyone seems to like me. It's so sad, though, leaving all my regulars, and my crew who loves me. I know I'm not the best manager, hell I dont even like being a manager. But I am lucky enough to have a crew that loves me. They'll do things for me without me even asking because they know that I'm stressed out or tired or even as simple a thing as I dont like doing it, ex: beer inventory. I'll miss that respect that they have for me.
