Weekend updatery
Oct. 20th, 2024 04:39 pmAs it happens I had to work today due to Head Bookkeeper taking the day off, which was fine, the only issue being that it was three days in a row where I should have been doing said bookkeeping but ended up spending most of that time doing drive-up orders instead. I don't mind doing those per se, it's just that new ones were constantly popping up JUST as I finally finish doing two in a row and want to take a breather, not to mention that upper management has decided to hyperfocus on completion times, substitutions and other fun pointless algorithm numbers. You know how it is. Just one more thing I'm supposed to stress out over. I'd I certainly have been stressing out lately, because it's not just those orders but feeling like I have to be in charge of five other things at the same time: babysitting the front end, answering the phone, working the register because we're short-staffed, making sure the teens from the local high school aren't stealing, fixing the always-malfunctioning self check-outs, unlocking the liquor and pharmaceutical cabinets, and whatever else is going on. As I've told my coworkers and bosses: I get stressed out and snippy with my words, but I very rarely get angry or pissed off. You'll know I'm getting there when I start swearing.
The good thing is that I have tomorrow off and have zero plans other than laundry. I need a wind-down and a refocus as I haven't been able to deal with Theadia work lately and that's bothering me. And speaking of creativity, I've pretty much given up on Inktober (again), though mainly out of disinterest. I didn't hate it and it didn't feel like I was trying too hard, just that it didn't resonate with me at all. I'd still like to do some more art, but I'm thinking that if I'm going to do it, I should find an outlet that interests me. Doing month-long memes isn't cutting it anymore, I guess?
But yeah, I'm hoping that next week isn't nearly as dramatic because I really could use the break. I've got jury duty the week after, though I'm not sure if I'll actually need to go in until next Sunday anyway. [I was joking with A today that jury duty would actually work as a perfect break from all the bs I'd been dealing with, heh.] We shall see, I suppose...
Mind you, I'm sure I'll be waking up at 6am like I usually do, heh.
