i die.
i don't know about you, but i've been feeling perpetually groggy. maybe it's the time of year, or the fact that tomorrow i will have worked 15 times in the past 12 days. which is roughly 108 hours of the 288 hours existing among that time. actually, that equals 9 hours a day for 12 days straight. of course i'm enjoying feeling like i'm a little busier, and i'm not ready to throw in the towel or anything...it's just that three of those days (read 24 hours) took place between the hours of 10pm and 6:30am. and a girl can only take so many overnight shifts sandwiched in between 8 and 12 hour days before she just loses it. it's hard to get back into the swing of things after switching your entire living schedule backward. the hardest thing i've found so far is that i feel like i'm sleep-walking through my days and bedtime comes and i just lay here. no matter how tired i felt when i actually lay down, it just disappears by the time my head hits the pillow. i've had meltdowns, i've been touchy and moody, and it's really hard to just...not be cranky.
on the plus side, magnolias is going well. interestingly enough i make more there an hour than at wegmans, my full time job. i got worked up about money again today though, because apparently my co-worker makes a lot more than i do. it's not a personal frustration, it's a company frustration. as much as i hear about how wegmans is the greatest place on earth (which is in competition only with disney world, obviously) it's beyond me how they can get away with paying full-timers so little. especially full-times who have been with the company for just shy of 10 years. i'm trying to figure out how i can start working sundays so i can make time-and-a-half. i don't think they're going to like both of us working on sundays, and he said "we'd compromise" but i'd feel pretty guilty taking money away from him, too.
but, that's not to say i'm raking in the big bucks at magnolias either. it's just a little something more to help pay for the apartment amanda and i put a deposit down on. we'll be moving in within the month of november, if i didn't say that in my last post.
i wish i felt sleepy instead of hungry.
