Still writing the right year
Jan. 3rd, 2024 08:25 amDay three of the new year and things are going well so far. Our NYE was uneventful as usual: in bed by 8:30, reading for a few hours, and fast asleep soon after. We were awakened by someone on the roof around midnight (and again some hours later, per A, but I was zonked out at that point), and the kitties weren't too happy about (but not scared of) the fireworks, which thankfully were not close this year.
As expected and hoped, the last few days at work have been blessedly low-stress. There have been the usual busy moments but for the most part it's been chill and I'm happy about that. My aim this year is to not take on everything at once like I've done in the past. I've always had a bad habit of saying yes to far too much at once, so instead I'll be saying 'I might not be able to get to it right away' or 'I'm too busy right now.' Or alternately, raising my hand to be sent out on the floor to do day stock instead of being The Only Adult Up Front every single time. Someone else needs to take that role every now and again, because I'm tired of being that person every single shift.
It's funny, because this whole thing about wanting to be less stressed out at work is in paradox with my other plans to be more outgoing and visible in other parts of my life. Just reprioritizing a lot of things, I suppose.
