It's Thursday and I have today off, so I'm not planning to do much other than laundry (almost done) and do some writing work (starting after lunch). I've had a super busy week so far and this relaxation time is definitely needed.
Speaking of the Day Job, we had a corporate visit/walkthrough yesterday so of course everyone was on edge. I've dealt with enough of that kind of thing at the Former Day Job so I don't get nervous at all. Besides, I was way too damn busy working solo up front on what ended up being a stupidly busy day. First of all, we were short-handed due to various reasons, but apparently it was up to me, on top of the stress of nonstop customer lines, to reach out and ask for help even though multiple coworkers who have the ability to work up front could and did walk by and not step in when I was clearly struggling. I don't always have the damn time to stop and ask, yeah?
But that's another gripe for another day. I had a talk with the managers about it at the end of my shift the other day and we came to a mutual agreement that I should be more proactive about reaching out for help and they should be more attentive when they're up at the front end. Fair deal, no one was angry and no one got written up, so I'm fine with that. Slightly annoyed, but I'll get over it.
ANYWAY. It's almost lunchtime and I am starving!
