Crazy Day = Beginning of a Crazy Life

Today was the start of a life of craziness. I started my warehouse job, and then had 3 hours of training for the school job starting Monday. I got a stack full of papers and a binder of training materials to go over by Monday so I am aware of all the rules and procedures when going into the school to work with the kids. I have TWO days. I repeat T-W-O days to read of 200 pages worth of materials. This is not going all the certificates, training, cards and other class type things I am required to get prior to being officially licensed to do the job. All "preferrably" to be completed by next weekend. All this is to be done sometime throughout the day, while I am working 2 jobs, 50 hours, 6:30am to 6:30pm. Yea...I am NOT stressed out, at all. I just feel like pulling out my hair and running away as far as possible so as not to have to do deal with all this stress. But at the exact same time I am so excited. The warehouse job is physically hard, but mentally refreshing, while I perform the job required of me at that place my mind relaxes and goes off wherever it pleases without having much worry. The kids job I haven't tried yet but I feel it will be fun in its own way. I am sure there will be bad days, with cranky kids or those who won't behave, but overall, if there is any job I would have to wake up at 5:30 for, and stay until 6:30 for, it would be a job that involves hanging out with cutie patooties (AKA kids that make me smile). Saturday and Sunday are relaxing/studying up days, and come Monday, Let the Games Begin!


In other news, I weighed myself and was at 121.4. That is 0.2 pounds down from last week. I am not sure that I can actually call that an accomplishment, but at least it hasn't gone up since last week. I am finally sitting, and relaxing, watching shows. Tsk Tsk. I should be at the gym, or at least moving my lazy butt, but my excuse is that the warehouse job keeps me moving for hours at a time so at home I am allowed the break :) I am proud to say I did do my abs and pushups for the day. All that's left to do is the squats, which I am saving for tonight after church. Maybe will throw in a few minutes of yoga as well, but no promises as I am not sure if I will have the time or the energy.

I am looking forward to finally making some good money, but the schedule that will be my life for the next few months already has me worn out and it hasn't even started yet. 10 hour work days, plus possible weekends at the warehouse is not the ideal way to make money, I'd much rather be making double the amount sitting in a comfortable office chair answering phones and sending emails, but since at the moment I am not sure what my career future holds, I need to stick to whatever will make me money at the moment.


Hope you are all having a happy Friday. Have no fear, the weekend is here and will stay for TWO WHOLE DAYS! Enjoy it while it lasts, Monday will be here before you know it. And if any of you guys have career tips or ideas on how to decide what the heck to do with myself and my AAS degree in an area I no longer want to work in, please let me know. I need all the help and advice I can get right now.


Happy Weekend. Enjoy the drinks and peanuts, and make sure to sober up before Monday comes along. And please, please, PLEASE do NOT drink and drive. Call a friend, call a cab, but never get behind the wheel after having too much to drink. Stay safe, and keep others safe. xoxo
