morning alone time
I volunteered to work four hours of overtime today. I thought ok, I'll go in four hours early, get to leave four hours early, fine. Well, not so much. You see, the morning hours were to be strictly overtime, and would not count toward our "differential. That is the extra dollar an hour we make for working 40 hours. if I didn't work all my shceduled hours today, I would lose $1.00 for every hour I worked all week. I went to bed last night faced with the prosepct of 13 hours at info-fucking-cision.I had to go get trained on a different script yesterday, and the "little 15 or 20 minute" training turned into nearly two hours..@ least I got paid for it, but I was also going to old house to mow the grass (it was my turn ya'll) so that put me two hours behind schedule on that.

Flash forward to this morning...I rise from bed around 6:30, still headachy and cold from the sunburn I sustained yesterday (you'd think someone with as little pigment as I would have learned to wear more sunscreen...oh I'm gonna be leathery soon) showered, shaved my legs in deference to capri pant day at work, got ready and left. I tried to call and let them know I was running late but of course there is no one thereto answer the phone on a sunday morning. I got there about 5 minutes late, saw a friend and she said "don't worry, they're trying to figure our if we're even in the system." frick. Short story boring, we were not. We had to leave. Now I'm faced with a couple of hours to do something and I don't know what to do with it. I could go walking, get a little exercise, but thn I'd have to take a shower again and I don't wanna. I could also do house work, but also don't wanna. I guess I'll just do my nails (I'll write a later entry on this inexplicable girly streak I've discovered in my self lately) and make some good coffee and drink it all up.

oh well, @ least I got two hours of overtime yesterday.

    Your recent life resembles my wife's. She's up at 3am so she can be at work by 5am, work two hours overtime, start her regular shift at 7. Then she works till 4 (5 if she can get the extra hour overtime) comes home, stays awake long enough to eat dinner, get things ready for the next day, and is in bed by 8pm. It's not a life that artistic, creative people should live, but what are you gonna do? Fucking crazy the things people have to do to buy a crappy pound of hamburger anymore.

    Stay sane, Alyssa. My thoughts are with you.
