Thank the Maker!

*cheers* Yesss! After five days straight of screwy schedules and wonky workdays, customer craziness and other assorted work-related annoyances, I have two, whole, precious days off. I swear..this was a light week, as far as total of hours goes, but the schedule was about to kill me. Four out of my five shifts were less than four hours, all of them over mealtimes--and when I work less than four hours, I don't get a break. Which means I don't get to eat. Which means Jonathan gets very, very crazy.

Not to mention the fact that if I get a break, it kinda lets me recharge, lets me go back at it with a fresh new attitude. But when you work for three and a half hours straight without any break or respite at all, it kinda grinds on you. Okay, yes, I don't have it that hard. It's not like I'm sitting at a counter doing nothing, though. Lifting, toting, running errands, stocking shelves--it can take it out of a man! Seriously!

But, let us not dwell on working. I get two blissfully lazy days off in a row, during which I can wear normal, comfortable clothes, with pockets, and without needing to keep my shirt tucked in! Two days in which I can sit at my computer, or read, or watch West Wing without interruption, without having to watch the clock to see when I have to get ready to leave for work. Hurray, hurray I say, for DAYS OFF! Wahoo!
