The new job is great and so far I really enjoy it, but I am thankful that soon I'll be out of the training room and out onto the floor. The last 4 weeks of being cooped up learning boring yet important stuff has been getting to me. Soon it will be over and I'll be back to providing my mad customer service skills.
My work schedule has been so funky that I have not been able to get anything done around the house during regular hours. I'm currently working a 11-8. The next following 2 weeks will be 12-9 and after that will be 3pm-12am.
Believe it or not I am looking forward to the 3-12 shift. The main reason is my dryer.......
I am in need of a new dryer, but have yet to find one in my budget. My current unit is in major need of drum slides, bearrings, felt, and a belt. The darn thing is from 1972 though and paying for those repairs on such an old unit just is not cost effect.
As it is the unit works properly, but due to so many parts being worn if makes my whole trailer vibrate and makes such horrid sounds that my neighbor next door asked me once what all the racket was.
So....... needless to say I cannot very well do laundry past about 10pm. I have been trying to get loads washed at night and put in the dryer the following morning, but it is just to much. I keep forgetting I have things in the washer that need to go into the dryer and have been having to wash things twice. *Ugh*
Likewise my walls are thin and vacuuming in the middle of the night would probably drive my neighbors crazy. I would just do all of this stuff in the morning before work, but lately with my fibromyalgia I have been really stiff in the morning and have been having a hard time doing much of anything.
Thus the reason I am happy about the soon to be 3-12 shift. With that shift I should have plenty of time to get un-stiffed and still be able to do some chores before work and not have to worry about disturbing anyone. It will be nice to actually have days off where I don't have to spend the whole darn day cleaning and folding clothes.
About neglecting my blog......
I just have not been feeling up to writing or chatting about anything much lately. Sitting in that darn training room being focused on a computer for so long everyday has gotten to me. Most of the time when I get home from work (lately) I don't even want to go near my computer. The thought just makes me cringe. So what have I been doing? Working on the steam punk outfit I have to wear to my friend's steam punk themed wedding. Since I'm in the bridal party I just cannot "forget" to dress up. It takes a whole lot of time to get things together and ready. Especially if you are broke like me and cannot afford to just buy a steam punk costume off of the Internet. I've been assembling everything myself. That's a lot of work for someone who can't sew with a machine worth a crap and has to do everything by hand. Luckily I have found stuff at the Good Will to use. I just have to "turn" the stuff into steam punk things. Still takes plenty of time though.
When I actually have a spare bit of time to myself I have been playing Halo Reach online to take out any stress bugging me. This is an artwork substitute because as of right now I do not have the SPACE available to set up my art supplies. Currently they are all boxed up and looking for a place to be of use in my over crowded hovel of a home. :(
So lately I have been neglecting my art more than anything and that should make you, my blog readers, happy that you are getting first choice on my list of things to do.
