I started my job this morning at the crack of dawn...actually it was still dark when I got there! I set my alarm for 4:45am, I don't remember ever getting up this early. I did work at Wendy's WAY back in 1990ish when they still had breakfast and I am sure I had to get up this early then, because I was the one who made the biscuits so I had to be there pretty early. Anywho...I am used to going to bed at around 11:30 and then getting up at 7 to get the kids to school, so I am really only losing about 30 minutes of sleep if I go to bed at 10pm.
I got there and I ended up working in the infants/kids section and I think I will be there for at least the rest of this week. Basically, I am just putting the new stuff out on the racks and making sure that they are grouped according to size and that the prices are right. I worked for 4 hours and really it went by pretty fast. I work tomorrow and then on Friday, but next week I am only scheduled for Wednesday and Friday so far. It looks like it may only be around 12 hours a week until more stock starts coming in for the holidays then it may be more hours. At this point I am fine with it because it allows me to keep doing the Pink Punk Boutique thing without cutting into my time too much.
Basically what it's cutting into is my reading time! I usually go to bed at 9:30 and I will read until 11:30, then when I get up and get the kids to school I will read while I have my coffee. Some mornings that turns into several hours! I do love my reading time, but I will still have a couple days a week to do that. I am behind on my Goodreads Challenge. I didn't read much over the summer with the kids at home, but I have read quite a bit the past few weeks and I am almost caught back up.
I am so tired right now I am trying to keep busy with laundry and blogging so I don't fall asleep! I tried to read, but I kept nodding off so I had to get up and move around. I am waiting for the kids to go to bed so I can finish the last 2 episodes of Lost Girl Season 1, then I can watch last nights new Sons of Anarchy. I tried to get Jake to stay home tonight so we could watch the Series Finale of Rescue Me. It's going to be a tear jerker I have a feeling. Just the commercial with that Adele song makes me want to cry :(
I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to watch it while we have lunch...that's when we have to watch our shows if we don't want to wait until the weekend. I am glad that most of my shows are ones that he doesn't watch otherwise we would never get caught up with TV!
Well I guess I can go busy myself finding something for dinner...only 4 more hours to stay awake! I don't think I will have any trouble going to sleep tonight!
I used to work the open shift when I worked, sure is tiring but eventually the body adjusts. Thankfully!
