I started this new job way back in March, then Easter weekend I closed the car door on my thumb, I was off for 6 weeks, then there was the Postal strike, and a back to work law was passed and here I am....
I am praying to win the loto...life is overwhelming....stress at work...way too much lack of 8 straight hours of sleep, I am not a happy person without sleep...I am snippy.
I am grateful for my back rubs, foot rubs, and all rubs I am getting.
I like where I am working, I get to drive the mail truck downtown, and deliver mail that was stuck in the main office...yet not enough mail is getting out. All things considered I am doing ok for my day 13 at this new job. Today was a great day, I reached my goal of finishing my entire route in under 8 hours (the regular guys is able to do it within 5.5, or so it says in the books), this makes up for yesterday, when I had a mishap with a parked car...that delayed me an hour, then I hit traffic getting back to the office. I wonder how much longer I will stay at this Route 87? Being an on-call worker it can change week-to-week, and even day-to-day. Real life, full of ups and downs, one day I love this job, one day I don't...
The kids are doing ok with their full-time Mom now being a full-time worker, who is exhausted after work, and locks herself in her bedroom, and falls asleep before they do, and leaves for work before they wake. All for that dream, of us owning a house, adding my better half and his two daughters...I know it will happen.
2011 is going to full of changes, lots of preparing for 2012.
Good night.
Way to go Gem, the best is yet to come! The routine of work has its toil in the beginning, then it becomes a walk in the park! It is totally different when you are looking forward to an inspiring goal. Good luck!
