Workaholic X2 [Owed work? Please read!]
9 years ago
Posting another quick update as some more things have changed with my work situation. -(_)-
For the duration of this month and into the first 2-3 weeks of Sept, I'm essentially working two full time jobs [officially it's 81 hours a week]. When I initially agreed to stay on part time at my old job, I had hoped that all I would be doing was offering some light assistance and training until a replacement for my position could be found.
However, as the weeks have continued to roll along, no replacement has been hired and [as usual] things have only gotten more and more crazy busy as BTS barrels towards its climax. Normally by now we'd be running overnight shifts. Obviously while working my new job 6 days a week during the day, overnight shifts are NOT something I'm willing to offer my old job. However, I did concede more and more of my free time on the weekends.
Before last week, Saturday used to the nicest [shortest] day of the week since I only worked at the spa store and the day was only 7 hours long. To make up for the lack of overnight shifts though, I ended up offering to work over at my old job -after- my normal Sat shift at the spa store. In short, tacking on another 9 hours on to my almost full day over at the spa store. >(_)< 16 hour day is pretty freaking rough...
In regards to owed work, these changed have meant that I have next to no time to draw. I'm finally finding some balance though and I should have some small opportunities this week before we hit the weekend [which has actually become an awful block of time spent at work where I'm hardly home at all]. Again, things should only be like this till the middle of Sept. By then, I would certainly hope they will find someone to replace me and I'll be able to actually step down to part time as originally planned. And believe me, that cannot happen soon enough!
In the meantime, I will get work done as I can and I must beg everyone to continue being patient with me. I did finally break down and buy a small sketchbook today. It's been driving me crazy not being able to draw [or just being too damn tired to draw] when I get home...and we have periods of downtime at work, so it only made sense. I'll have to scan in some pieces when I have them finished. It's been such a relief to be able to doodle again. <3 Have a nice week everyone! Fall is coming! ^(_)^
Naw just kidding, hope you're doing well Clock! Just try and survive, I'm sure you'll get a proper break before long!
Good grief that's a lot of work, take some time to take care of yourself!
