Worn Out

So I have just finished my second week of training at my new job. I feel really burnt out. I don't think it has anything to do with having to take in new information because I already know most of it. I think it is because for the last 5 years I have never worked 5 days in a row straight before having a day off. I'm use to having to work 2 days, have a day off, work 3 days, and have another day off.
It's going to take some time to get adjusted to this new schedule.

Once training is over, I'm going to have to make another few adjustments. I'll be starting at the bottom end of the totem pole so I'll have to work 3pm-12am to start.
The good part about that change is that I'll no longer have to work Mondays.
I won't be able to tell anyone I've got a case of the Mondays or that I'm allergic to Mondays, or allergic to Mornings either for that matter. Shucks..... I guess I'll just have to deal with it. lol.

Not a lot has really happened since I've started the new job.
I kind of like things that way. It makes my life a little more structured and cuts down on stress. Last place I worked stress about killed me. At least with the new job I'll know what to expect a little more in advance.

Friday night I went down to the the local pool hall and was hoping to play but quickly became distracted.
My friend,who is getting married end of next month, works Fridays and Saturdays down there. She and I have both been so busy we have hardly been able to talk to eachother. That's not a good thing since I am suppose to be one of the bridesmaids. She had a lot of information to go over with me and ideas and things she needs help with. It appears that tomorrow night I'll be going to her place to help put together some center pieces, get my wrist measured for a corsage, and to play around with makeup to see what is going to look the best with her outfit.
It is going to be rather tricky to pick colors and to match things up since it is a steampunk based wedding. The whole wedding party and receiption guests are all suppose to wear costumes.
I have got the main parts of my outfit ready to go. I now have to just worry about a blouse and accessories. Then I've got to work on the boyfriends outfit. his will be a little easier. The fun part is going to be buying some toy guns and jazzing them up to match the theme.
While talking things over with my friend she showed me some new pictures of the TARDIS that is going to be in the receiption call for people to have their pictures by.
It looks really good. The blue paint is all on and the police box signs that stick out from the top are almost done and ready to go.
The end of our random conversations of course was the latest gossip. I like hearing gossip, but not neccessarily repeating it.

Lately I have been trying to set time aside to clean things up around the house and to get stuff ready to be rummaged off this spring/summer. So far I have collected over 7 storage tubs of stuff and a few boxes worth.
When I'm not working on that project or at work I have been working on a book that I have been writing since 2008. Every minute spent writing, typing, and editing brings me closer to my eventual goal to have it published.It is a difficult task, but I believe it is worth it. Someday I'll get there.

I have been having some fibromyalgia issues, but nothing serious. Lately I just haven't really been myself. I think I was what the professionals call "brain cycling" because I have been having random problems here and there with trying to stay focused or remembering things.
For example I managed to forgeet my dad's birthday last month, and today I forgot where I was suppose to go or what I was suppose to be doing at work. Today at first I thought it was just cause I was tired, but then I realized I was having difficulty remembeing the names of people in my training class. I'm usually really good with names. Yikes!
Like all things, this to will come to pass. That I am certain of.

So far I really like the new job. Their ethics and policies are easy to conform to, but I will not lie. I missed all my friends/co-workers I made at my last job. It kind of pains me when I drive by the old place on my way to work. I hope not to forget them. They are wonderful people.
I feel in time I will make many new friends at the new job too. I just have to be patient.
