Ugh. This coming week is finals week. I am scheduled to work a 6 day week. When do these people expect me to be able to study and write my papers? I would like to keep my Dean's list grades. Most of the problem are these people at work. Some people take off almost every week for some thing or another. Then, the owner didn't hire some girl because her boobs were too big. Yes, because her boobs were too big. She was afraid that people, staff and patrons, would be distracted! How ridiculous. I guess I never would have gotten the job if I wasn't already there when she bought the place.
Meanwhile, big boob girl wasn't offered a job even though she was well more than qualified. I have to bust my ass in that place because these people are crazy. Hire people! I am going crazy. This is an absolutely guaranteed way to lose your staff. Make them work long and many many long shifts with no time for relaxation. Or you can tell them that their job isn't important or hard so they need to learn to do something else. What? Yes...it happened today. Not to me because I am at the point that I would have flipped out. There are times when I just want to walk out. Times when I just want to walk into oncoming traffic so I can just take a break from life. I work six days, two of which are double shifts, and go to school 3 nights a week.
I have a 10 page paper due Wednesday, an exam Monday, and another 10 page paper due Thursday. It's ridiculous. I do nothing but work and study, work and study. I'm going crazy. I don't even remember what my friends look like. Probably would get lost trying to get to their houses. Today was work from 10 to 4 then immediately start working on one of my two papers. I had to take a break to catch up on my blog. As soon as I'm done typing I will start studying for my exam. No, my paper is not finished but I need to do a little of this and a little of that because I get bored with the same topic and I get writters block, especially with just a big and important paper.
My sister turned 20 today and I haven't even talked to her because I was at work then she went out so I probably won't until tomorrow....oh no wait.....I have to work all day tomorrow too. Maybe well be able to sneak in a 5 minute phone call when the lunch shift slows down.
Happy reading, ACLove

Good luck on your finals - I was there a few years ago too - working like a dog and going to grad school full time. It totally sucked, but paid off in the end. I am sure it will for you too. Keep your nose to the grindstone and it will all be over before you know it!
