When I made the schedule for this week, Sunday was one of my two days off for the week, Thursday being the other. So, I spent four and a half hours Sunday morning at one store’s inventory, and six hours Sunday evening and night at another’s. I worked a full day, basically, and sometime Sunday night I felt like I hit the wall. Even after sleeping in until ten-thirty, even after drinking a pot of coffee I didn’t really feel like myself.<\/p>\n
At other times, I might have counted yesterday as a day worked. The payroll constraints being what they are, though, I can’t take another day off during the week and have the store staffed and covered properly and still come in at or under the payroll budget. The budget still reigns supreme.<\/p>\n
My supervisor asked me to perform some audits for him this week. I’m trying to figure out when I can squeeze them in. Tomorrow morning, possibly, but Wednesday’s out, and I really need to spend time around the house on Thursday. At the very least I’ll need a nap on Thursday. The one problem with tomorrow is that I’d rather not drive, audit, drive, audit, drive, audit, and then work my scheduled eight-hour shift, because Wednesday I’m down for a twelve-hour shift. Everyone needs some<\/i> time away from the daily grind.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I need to revise the moneyball spreadsheets<\/a> ASAP. Preferably by yesterday. Deep breath, now, deep breath.<\/p>\n Why do I do this to myself? When don’t I work? That’s the question. Sometimes I wonder why I don’t have much of a life outside of work, but I’d have to give up work to find a life, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I made the schedule for this week, Sunday was one of my two days off for the week, Thursday being the other.
