Let This Week End
So this week has been exciting. New job, good pay, but it's getting a bit stressful. The sisters left today, which is nice because we all get a break from one another, but I've also been only working 3 days, so to leave most of the residence business mostly up to me is a lot on my shoulders for someone without a lot of experience.
Today I stayed overtime because I needed to get the don on call schedule typed up so people could look it over. As soon as I put it up, one of the dons had a problem with it because she had a bachlorette party to attend to that night. That's a fully legimate reason to be unable to work, but way to tell me in advance. I also had to redo a lot of the switchboard schedule when I e-mailed one of the switchboard workers that they had work on Saturday because they might mix up the hours because they're not living in res. It was good that they said they'd be there, but then also that they wouldn't be able to make it in next Saturday. That's good to tell me, but then again, if I hadn't asked, then I would be in an even worse situation (because there'll be guests around that I need to attend to) when she would remember to tell me a couple days later. I'm a bit irritable and acting like a whiny bitch, so please just let me be self-absorbed for this one moment. I have nothing against in the girls, but I'd rather know things in advance so I don't need to keep on revising and revising things when I need to move onto other tasks.
I really just hope at this point that the weekend pans out because that's when the first guests will be arriving. I'm not supposed to be working Saturday, but I might have to go in to make sure everything goes smoothly. I don't want there to be any complications on the first day, and to put more pressure on people who it will be their first day working.
I know that it will get a lot easier, I just want some time to sleep in and watch bad TV.
