Rambling On

Mini vacation

At the first of the summer my husband was informed that he would not be able to take his two weeks vacation during the summer. So he then decided to take his vacation time in bits and pieces. Last weekend he had the weekend off so he also took Monday and Tuesday of this week off as well. We really didn’t do very much of anything but it was still nice that he was able to get this little bit of extra time off. So I guess this is the way he will end up getting his vacation this year. Oh well, it’s better than not getting it at all.

Decreasing my hours at work

Well the decision is made. I have decided that once the children are back in school full time I’m going to start decreasing my hours at my job. Lately I’ve been seriously unhappy there and I think it’s about time I start to look for something else. I don’t want to completely leave my job until I find something else part time. But it will be nice not having to clean all the hand dryers, the bathrooms, the bread bar…. well you get the drift. I’m a waitress and not a cleaner and I would dearly love a job doing only waitressing responsibilities.

Off to work

Well after spending a week typing on my computer steadily, I have to go to my regular job tonight. Man… I’m sure getting tired of the “w” word. It seems like all I ever do is work, work, work. The money’s nice, but sometimes I do wish I could have a little time for myself. Lately I haven’t even found the time to eat a proper meal. Oh well, I guess I won’t have to invest in any burning belly fat products then do I? But by going out to work tonight at least it will get me away from my computer for awhile. So I guess in this case work is good right???

Change in weekend plans

To tell you all that I’m getting seriously annoyed with my husband’s work is a mild understatement. Once again our weekend plans have to change because of his job. This coming weekend we were planning on taking the kids camping and yesterday he was informed that he has to work Saturday. I was so mad when I heard this news that I couldn’t even discuss it with him. I know it’s not his fault, but man…. couldn’t he just put his foot down just ONCE!!! It really doesn’t look like we’ll get much camping done this year and this I am seriously not pleased with. I really wish he’d get another job!

Waste of a beautiful weekend

This past weekend was perfect camping weather. But… did we get to go camping??? Nope. Once again my husband was on call and had to go to work. I’m getting so sick and tired of all this on call work. He has been on call every weekend except for one for the past year and this is now starting to get on my nerves. So instead of camping, I was tied to this computer researching extenze for one of my companies. If he doesn’t get a weekend off soon, I’m seriously going to blow!

Another twelve hour day

Well I can see this turning into another 12 hour day for me. I have been on this computer all day and I am getting so tired! I’ve been typing so much that I haven’t had time to look for cheap insurance, eat or anything else. But the most important thing is, is that I’m almost done with all this typing. Before I go to bed tonight I will be done so hopefully no more 12 hour days for me for awhile.

Feast or famine

I have found that over the past three years of working online that my work schedule usually runs in a feast or famine mode. For weeks I could go without any work whatsoever and then bam…. it hits. Well that’s what happened to me this week. Last week I had a pretty light workload but when I woke up this morning I checked my e-mails and discovered I have a ton of work to get done. Man… I love the money, but really do hate the deadlines. So I have to choose which work (like articles on prenatal vitamins) needs to be done quickly and what stuff I can put off for another day. I guess I really shouldn’t complain though because maybe one of these days there will be no work at all.

Oh well, I must get to work. See you all soon.

Light work load

Normally on Mondays I have a pile of work that needs to be done. But not this morning. I have a pretty light workload for today so I think I might dust off my resumes and start polishing them up. I do a lot of work from home activities and always am on the lookout for more contracts to help fill in my time. So that’s why I want to work on the resumes. This way when an opportunity arises, I will have a professional looking resume and this might help me to generate more work. No harm in trying right?!

Crazy work schedule

As you all know, I work at a waitress at a very busy family restaurant. Well my work life just got a whole lot busier. One of our major competitors has closed it’s doors for renovations and to tell you all that we have suddenly gotten a lot busier, is a serious understatement. Thursday night was the busiest shift that I’ve put in for a very long time. And on top of all this extra business our barcode scanner was on the fritz as well. Let me tell you all it was not a very nice night. But I got through it. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come.

Nice quiet day

So after the last couple of weeks of major typing that I had to do, this morning I realized that I really have nothing pressing that needs to get done today. So I have decided to take a me day and step away from this computer. I have a few blog post to do, need to check my e-mails and then I’m getting off the computer. Honestly I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself since I’m not typing, but I think I can find stuff to do. What a great feeling to know right now I have no deadlines to meet!
