New Job

I started a new job on March 16th. I should really say I started a new other job since I'm staying with the restaurant (damn this need for health insurance). It's with the same company that I worked for over the summer. Right now it's pretty cool. I'm learning how to navigate around AutoCad and some of what I'm learning there is coinciding with my GIS class. I hate having to drive and hour to an hour and half to work though. Everytime I sit in traffic this high pitched voice in my head starts chanting, "emissions...emissions...emissions..." So I've been keeping a crazy schedule for the last two weeks.

Monday: wake as early as possible which usually means 8 after my alarm has been going off for 2 hours. Go to day job. Leave at 3 so I can start at the restaurant at 4. Get home around 2-2.30am

Tuesday: wake up at 7 go school and work at the computer lab until 12.50pm. Play volleyball for about an hour. Go to class. Get home around 7-7.30pm with every intention of studying for organic (hasn't happened yet).

Wednesday: Wake up at 6 and go to day job. Leave at 5 to get to night class at 6. Get home around 9.45 with every intention of studying for organic (not here either).

Thursday: Wake up at 6 and go to day job. I can stay later now though since my Thursday night class won't meet again until the end of April. No organic this night either.

Friday: Same as the Wednesday schedule except I leave at 4:30 to get to organic.

Saturday: Either work from 12pm to 10pm+ or close the restaurant and work from 5pm to 2.30am

Sunday: Unintentionally but fairly predictably sleep all day until I have to get up to get ready for work. Work from 4-2am.

I'm pretty tired and I notice that I'm getting cranky at the restaurant again. By the end of the month I'll probably be a raving bitch. I hope not. I told my boss that I'm feeling a little burnt out and that I need one weekend any weekend off in the next month or so. We'll see if that happens.

As a result of my recent schedule I've developed a facial tic. No surprise since I spend most of the days staring intently into a computer monitor. Sometimes I look at the screen for hours before I remember that I'm suppose to give my eyes a break at which point I gasp audibly and stand straight up to stretch my legs while I'm at it. This use to startle the two women that I share the office with but I think they've gotten used to it. So now I have regular and frequent spasms on my left eyelid and underneath my left eyebrow. I've got a little over a month of this schedule until the semester ends. Hopefully, the rest of my body won't fall apart before then.
