I have never been so *bleeping* exhausted in my life, not even when I had a newborn waking me up several times during the night. I guess this is what it means to be a grown up. My son in law used to tell me I was spoiled (pre-divorce) and it used to piss me off, but he was right. In many ways I was spoiled. I will never admit that to him.
I'm not spoiled anymore.
My boss from my first job worked the schedule so that I could take the second job and she was able to give me one day off a week. Hallelujah! I was worried.
I want to say I like the second job. I don't. The people are wonderful, the works sucks. Well, it's not so much the work sucking as the fact that I work non stop for 8 hours with no break, no lunch...It's too convoluted to explain. Technically, I get a lunch, I just haven't figured out HOW I am supposed to take that lunch. I asked and no practical advice was given. I think my boss feels vindicated by saying, "Have you eaten today?" It covers her ass since it is offered. That's not to say she's not a lovely person, she is. She's just too busy.
She goes to lunch, though.
I really should not talk about work here.
One day off a week is good, but two would be better.
The first thing I do when I walk in the door from work in the evening is get a beer or a glass of wine. I am a such a cliche sometimes.
And boring, if you ask Sili. Hell, ask me. I know better than she does.
I don't get to see as much of my daughter and grandsons as I used to. It's always surprisng to see what the youngest grandson has learned during the previous week when I see them on my day off. Last week I found out he'd learned to give kisses. My daughter told him to give me a kiss. He grabbed me around to neck and laid the biggest, most enthusiastic smacker on me. He's so proud of himself and it's so darn cute. I wish I could put these memories away somewhere for safekeeping so I could pull them out later and relive them again.

Poor thing, I do sympathize with you on the work thing. Feels like life is flying past you. You can do it, you will be ok, I promise.
Yeah, the first thing I do when I walk in from work is grab a beer too. My waistline is SO thrilled, NOT.
And lastly, you ARE tucking those moments and memories away for safekeeping, just by being aware that you want to.
Hang in there, and have a good day, ya wingnut.
hahahahahahahaha
You are tucking the memories away for safe keeping...in your heart! (the most important place...you will forever feel the sweetness of that kiss!)
Your boss is NOT vindicated by asking you if you have had lunch....if anything it makes her more aware that they are in violation of federal requirements. They should be making it happen. Being short staffed is NOT a good explanation eithre!!!!!!
Are you not having lunch because you are too busy, too much work....? That work will always be there even if you take lunch. I'm not sure we get paid for that hour we are supposed to be having lunch in. I used to be like that - oh too busy, job important, all those worthless answers. Here's an idea, when your "caring" boss is leaving for lunch, just say "oh, right lunch time - I'm famished". Allowing your employees to miss lunch and then take lunch AS THE BOSS is so sleezy. You have no excuse - get out, breathe, eat, come back X100 refreshed.
Enjoy those kisses from grandbaby!.
