Exhaustion!
How did I go from having no life at all to having to schedule laundry just so it gets done? I might just have to go shopping and buy more clothes instead. (To Mom, Dad, Brenda, Andrew and Greg, who all know just how many clothes I have...I'M KIDDING!!! Please don't start calling me and reminding me of the Storage Unit that I'm paying for that's full of clothes ;-D)
Between Work, work, Tuesday night gaming and Thursday night filming, finding time for family and friends and taking Sterling to the vet, I feel like I'm meeting myself coming and going. It's good though. I mean, it's not that everybody get away from me exhaustion. It's just...chaotic :-)
I came home last night after working a 9-1/2 hour day and collapsed into Grandpa's chair. Jymi had this fantastic soothing, serene, world-beat, new-age music on when I walked in. I sat in Grandpa's chair and decompressed with a book. The music enfolded me, the chair rocked me, and the cats greeted me. Jymi and I talked awhile and then...I woke up. The house just took all of my frustrations from the day and scooped them away from me. Nice.
This is the last week of training for me at my new job. On Friday I "fly solo". Intimidating. But, let's face it. I rock in customer service. I just need to get over the frustration of the learning curve. I want to know it all now! I'm very impatient with myself. My trainer/mentor, Sharon, is fantastic! She's very in tune with my overload level. She's quick to joke and poke when I'm feeling good ("C'mon, you call those calls challenging? Send me something!") And she's really good at telling me to walk away ("Your shoulders are hunched up to your ears. Take a break already!") Sharon interviewed with another department today. She's been in the Call Center for five years, which is one reason she's such a wonderful trainer. I wish her luck, but I will miss her if she transfers to the other building.
I'm looking forward to getting on a regular schedule soon. I came back from vacation, packed, moved, started a new job, trained, began my shift, got a better job, trained...all while working at the store. Literally, since mid February, my shifts have changed 6 times. Starting next Monday, I'll have an 11:30a-8:00p shift and work at the store Saturday mornings only. Every other Tuesday will still be gaming night, and every Thursday will still be meeting night, but Sundays will be my very own!!! I am forseeing Laundry Day! (and on the seventh day, God created clean shorts...) Hey, I said regular schedule, not normal.
