Don't You Hate It When.....
something..... Well, that something doesn't leave you with enough time
to take care of other things you REALLY have to do.
I hate saying no sometimes, then there are times when I say no with no
problems at all. To me it feels like I've let that person or people
down. What comes first to me, as I feel like I'm turning into an old man
now, is that I MUST get my rest, my sleep. Especially when I close, then
turn around when I have to open in the morning. With no rest, I get
cranky, bothered and in my field that can't happen. I hope family and
friends understand this.
Before I went to sleep last night, 10:23pm, I broke down the hours of my
days. 3pm to 10pm I worked, got home went to sleep. Woke up at 5am and
have to work from 7am to 3pm. Now today that leaves me with 14 hours
before I have to wake up again. I've come to realize that Sunday to
Monday is not a good time for me to do anything but work and sleep. Any
other day of the week is okay, but those 2 days are off limits. Its that
little voice in my head talking to me.....sleep, sleep.
I'm finding that I have NO time for anything really. I'm finding that
I'm giving up rest time in order to make family happy. So when I do go
and see them, I fall sleep where I sit, and that's bad. Cause what they
tell me is that I've should have stayed home. If I had did that, I
wouldn't hear the end of it.
On Thanksgiving, I'm the only one working in the deli on that day. Good
thing is that I'm only 8 minutes from home by walking. Not so good thing
is that when I do get home, I'm gonna be way too tired to go and spend
time with family. Oh I could, but then I will feel like shit in the long
run and I don't want to feel like that. Is this what they call the Rat
Race? I guess it is.
