Midweek exhaustion
Nov. 27th, 2024 07:01 pmAs I'd said to one of my coworkers today (and also on Discord), I still appreciate the fact that I can have a super busy shift like I did today and feel exhausted by the end of it...but NOT stressed out. Every now and again I'm still reminded of how toxic the bank job was, and surprised that I lasted as long as I did.
But yeah, it was a super busy day today as expected, and I'm expecting tomorrow to be the same though probably not as chaotic. Then I'm doing two bookkeeper opens on Friday and Saturday. Those can be a toss-up sometimes, especially when we have our drive-up orders to process, and those have expanded significantly over the last couple of months. Some days I'm fine and I get all the bookkeeping done and perhaps a bit of ringing up to balance it out, but there have been days when I've done five to seven of these orders, sometimes one right after the other, and those are definitely exhausting. [Especially since upper management for some reason has decided to hyperfocus on how quickly we turn those around.]
Do we have anything planned for the holiday season? Not too much, really...on the 8th we're doing our annual visit to the opera house to see the Nutcracker ballet, and on the following Sunday we'll be meeting up with A's parents for lunch, but other than that we're once again just chilling out and relaxing. No complaints!
