Written Up

So apparantly the way too many hours I have been working have caught up with me. I guess one of my girls got on to her myspace while I was working and since that is against the rules it is considered to be a lack of supervision. Bring on the write up. The sad part is I could care less. Write me up all you want I really don't care for the job therefore I really don't care. This girl in particular makes me laugh extra because she reads these sexually explicit novels, I mean straight up raunchy and graphic and that is apparently a better use of her time then being on myspace. If I would have realized how important it was to keep the girls off myspace perhaps I would have been more vigilant in my supervising the computer but whatever screw the job I hate it anyways. I will be putting in a request before the end of the week asking to not be scheduled at the girls house anymore. I don't really care if it puts them in a rought place. I have a job, I make okay money and while it would be nice to keep this other job come next semester I don't feel like the drama of working at the girls house anymore.

Summer

I am caught up in a whirlwind of work. I've been working two jobs for about 6 months now which is ok because usually between the two I work just under 40 a week. But the day finals were over both jobs slammed me with hours. At first I was really happy about it. My eyes turned green thinking about all the money I would have. But the more I work these crazy hours the more I wish for simpler times when I didn't have money but I had time to spend it. Now all I have time for is well nothing. I've been working at least 60 hours a week but sometimes closer to 80 and every time I have a day off it seems like someone knows it and I get called in or a training is scheduled for it and I wind up working anyways. My stress levels are definitely high right now. I know I can decline when I get called in on my days off but one of our staff passed away at one of my jobs and so I feel like I really need to put out the effort to help out by covering the shifts that have become suddenly open. At least until things settle down. I think that time is coming soon and I will need to talk to both of my bosses and let them know that while I appreciate their faith in my capabilities with the clients, that I would appreciate having at least one shift less from each job per week. We'll see how that goes.

Other than my insane hours I am in a pretty good place right now. I've been using the bulk of my very rare free time to do things around my house. I repainted my bathroom, and am slowly working on redecorating it. I also used most of the apricots off my tree and made 24 pints of jam, plus I made some peach jam and on Monday I am going to make some Strawberry jam too. The strawberries I bought because they were on sale really cheap but the peaches and the apricots are off my fruit trees. The jam is really tasty, not that I am bragging. Making jam is pretty easy so I'm sure any one's attempt would be just as delicious. I had never heard of peach jam before but I had so many peaches that were going to go to waste if I didn't do something with them and the pectin package had directions for peach so I tried it. My favorite I must say. Now if only I could still eat PB &J's.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer thus far. I know I am even with work. I've even got a nice tan from a couple of hours I spent in my room mates parents pool on my one day off the last two weeks.
