an update of sorts
Jul. 23rd, 2006 09:13 amThis working weekends things has my sense of time really messed up. Mom sent me an IM yesterday around 9 asking why I wasn't at work, I replied because I didn't have to be there for an hour... then asked her why *she* wasn't at work. Her response: "because I dont work on weekends". Then it hit me... yesterday was Saturday. For some reason, I've convinced myself that Saturdays and Sundays are now Tuesdays and Wednesdays because those are my days off.
Yesterday was rather slow, I found myself wishing I had remembered to bring a book to work. Today I am not leaving the apartment without something to read while at work because Sundays are always slow, and reading helps the time pass faster.
They are asking for people to work overtime and I am tempted to actually sign up for some this week. Found out yesterday my raise went into effect July 9th, so I'm making $11.04/hr now. So that would be $16.56/hr if I decided to work a few extra hours. The extra pay would be nice, would help me catch up on my bills faster, and it's not like I have much of a social life with the hours I work now anyways. Am going to look at the scheduler and see what hours of OT are still available for this week and decide then.
I've also made at least $200 in commission so far this month, which will look pretty good on the last paycheck of August. :) I am thinking of putting my commission checks directly into savings and start working on rebuilding my extremely poor looking savings account. I am still catching up financially from the havoc wreaked upon my bank accounts when I moved up here to Manhattan last month.
I also am going to visit the Public Library on Tuesday and get a library card so I can check out some books. Out of the ones I own, there's only 2 or 3 that I haven't actually read yet. Granted my collection pales extremely in comparison to other people I know, but once I get caught up on some of the bills I have, I should be able to start working on that again.
Had a pretty rough night last night emotionally. Didn't really know why til I woke up from a dream this morning and was very glad to wake up calm and relaxed and ok with things considering how frustrating last night was. Here's hoping last night isn't a night that repeats itself very often.
Ok, I guess I better finish eating my breakfast, throw some food into a tupperware container for lunch today, grab a book to read and get to work.
