Oct. 19th, 2008 09:14 amBetween the fact that business has really picked up at work and that one of the day shift typesetters called in on Friday, we were super busy at work. I went in around 7:15 a.m., left for a couple hour (3--5:30) and then went back in until 9:30 pm. It was a long day and even though I slept in on Saturday, I hadn't quite recovered and was pretty grumpy for most of Saturday. It didn't help that Aunt Flo came for a visit. I think my cycle is getting all screwed up from working around all those other women. It certainly isn't coming at normal intervals since I started working.
I had a hard time feeling at ease at work on Friday because it seemed like some of the others were sort of slacking. Granted, it was Friday and there are no supervisors there on the evening shift, but heck, I'd given up my Friday night to come in and help them. Meanwhile, around 9 Shawndra just disappeared. I knew she'd taken her lunch earlier and I didn't see her anywhere in the department. I figured whatever was going on, it wasn't really my business. But, as I was leaving, I realized that she had been locked out of the building the whole time--taking a cigarette break and accidentally letting the door shut behind her! Poor girl...it's creepy out there at night time!
One thing that was nice is that I did have a chance to chat with people more than I ever do during the day and some people actually took the opportunity to get to know me. It's nice not to just be "the temp", you know?
Saturday we went and saw "Journey to the Center of the Earth" at the dollar theater. It was really entertaining, but the kids said it was too scary :) And that was the 2D version, which I'm glad for because 3D makes me nauseous.
I'm feeling much more back to normal today, not so harried and mentally frayed. I will continue to go in early, but I'm not going to work late like that again. Maybe I'll go in on a Saturday for a few hours if they ask me, but I just can't work those long days. It made me into a crazy woman and no one likes a crazy mom. Then I feel guilty for being so grumpy which makes me worse...it's just a vicious cycle. Best to keep myself on an even keel.
I just can't wait for this job to be over!!!
