I have an overnight shift today. Leaving in about an hour. When I said I was willing to do shipment, I didn’t think it meant overnight ! Next week is the same, too.
Granted, I don’t have kids or a family (exactly) but when I do one overnight shift a week and the rest are daytime… That’s kind of rough. Amanda (operations) does overnights but usually it’s only one week a month and then she has like three days off. I’m working tomorrow and next Thursday too (not early, but still).
I don’t want to complain, as I’m getting antsy with being at the registers for all my shifts (with some exceptions if someone called out or is on break) and I’m getting quite a decent amount of hours compared to what I was getting in November and December (I made as much in my last paycheck as I did for nearly all my previous checks) but… I don’t know; the “occasional overnight” thing was one of the things that made me hate Benetton so much.
I’m sure it will be fine. May be kind of fun, without customers and being with Amanda and Megan (also working with me). But Cori and I have also been trying to sneak in trips to the gym at the mental health clinic he interns at, and I’ve been hurting so much the last couple weeks that this shift could be worse because of that. Lots of boxes and moving things around; but like I said–maybe Amanda will already know what she wants me to do and maybe it won’t be so bad.
In other news, I got a bag of gratis that, after calculating, was easily worth $500. I wonder how much of the mark up for some of these products is covering expenses for testers and gratis for the people who will sell it. For example, I got this new serum from Lancôme that costs $115 a bottle (gasp) and although I plan on trying it, its main focus is wrinkles and I’m 27, going to be 28 in May. I feel like it’s something my mom could use. Wish she were nearby so I wouldn’t need to ship it.
I’m also not feeling great. It may be because of the different stuff I’ve done at the gym. Normally I limit myself to treadmills, ellipticals, and simply outdoors walking. Cori has been teaching me how to use some of the weight training equipment and I’ve been using a cycle thing. The ab machine is insane. You lean on it and kneel on a pad and swing yourself… kind of… I explain poorly. It’s fun but I think that’s why I’m hurting so much.
Back up to 183, was weighed at my doctor visit on Monday. Urghhhh. So mad. I had made it to 156 (from 206) and now I feel like I just lost half the effort I made. So I’m working on it again. May take a while to get back into the groove.
Wish I had a dog to walk :(
