This week's schedule is such crap. -(_)- Always hate splitting the week between overnight and normal day shifts as it's so rough on the body and the sleep schedule... I go in for one more overnight tonight though, will get to go home at 7-ish AM, and then try NOT to sleep all day...as I'll have to try and sleep tomorrow night and get up at my normal 5:30 AM on Friday.
Anyways, this is largely just an update on things for anyone currently waiting on work from me. I'm stuck working almost 50 hours at my day job this week [including a 7 hour shift on Saturday...]. I'd like to say that after this week things will be better, but so far, it isn't looking like that will be the case. The manager who left us back at the beginning of April to go have knee surgery [and who just returned a little over a week ago] somehow SOMEHOW now gets to take a week of vacation next week. So, no more overnight shifts for a week...but plenty of work to be done and no help. *sigh*
And I just found out yesterday that in another two weeks we're supposed to have a visit from the new company president and everyone is freaking out about it. Without revealing too much internal company blahblah [I'm sure the info is out there anyways], a long series of bad decisions from corporate higher-ups has lead to everyone getting themselves fired...like, from the CEO straight down to the regional manager or whatever the fuck his title was. Basically the boss of my boss's boss's boss. So, while this isn't supposed to be a super nit-picky visit, everyone wants the store to be perfect and make a good impression because of long term career goals or some shit.
Long story short, all that means for me is after another week of slogging through grueling day shifts, I have 2 weeks of overnight shifts to look forward to. Yay... What that means for you guys and why I'm posting this journal, is largely just to let everyone know that my free time over the next few weeks will be limited. I greatly appreciate everyone's patience as I work my way through this. I will do my best to offer updates when progress has been made. Just know that I haven't forgotten about anything that was promised, be it adopt, YCH, commissions, or a trade. I'm doing the best I can to get you a completed piece ASAP!
Thank you for reading and I wish everyone much better weeks than myself in the near future.
Well if the new CEO sees how bad things are maybe he will implement something to help? wishful thinking but one can hope.
Take care of yourself and survive and we will be here after the dust settles X3 <3
Anyways, we'll see where things are 3 weeks from now after my GM gets back from his vacay and I've put in 2 weeks of overnight shifts to work on setting up displays and getting product put up neatly.
I appreciate your patience anyways! <3
Anyways... Don't stress yourself out too much Caribou. We can wait a bit longer, as for you just try and do your best to try and show that you're capable, and important. I hope things relax soon enough for you, and that you don't go too crazy dealing with all this bullshit from other people's mistakes.
