Posting for Monday, November 5th, 2012
So I worked a 12.5 shift on Monday, 4.5 hours of overtime, that part is always good. But seriously, I have come to the conclusion that those long days just aren't for me. I used to do a lot of them at AG and it seemed to be OK. Here, I am 5 months into landing the job and I think I have tried to do too much too soon. I am backing down to Saturdays only. For sanity purposes.
Yes, the money is nice. Yes, it gives me extra to do extra things. But in the end if you work all the time when are you going to be able to enjoy spending any money you will be too exhausted to go anywhere to spend the money.
Then the things that I have done wrong flow in. I understand that, I really do, it's the procedure I have a beef with. Ok, you send me things that I did wrong, but we never go over them, and I am supposed to go on and hope I never do dumb things like that again.
I had one call monitor from QA which did brighten my day, however. Finally, something I did right. Or at least that is how it felt.
For those of us that worked all those bajillion hours and agreed to take a 30 minute lunch the company provided lunch for us from the Smiling Moose, which was very nice. But by the time we got to our lunch part of it was missing, go figure, because they put it in the refrigerator for all to see and steal. I don't give a fig about a missing cookie or chips, it was just the principle of the matter!
No more long days for me for awhile. Yes, if that makes me a wuss, I guess I am. There is much more to life than working tons of OT.
