Hard to believe right? I didn't think it was possible, but the ache in my tummy is telling that it surely is. I've been eating so much junk so I really could use some exercise. Aside from the fact: I absolutely love to run. I haven't be able to, unfortunately, for the last six and a half years because of my foot. I had a bunionectomy and my foot hasn't been the same since (and I haven't gotten it fixed yet, either). But a pretty nice perk of working during the days is that I can go for walks or runs in the mornings or at night. The overnight work has not only messed up my sleep habits, but also my eating habits. So it will be good for me to get back into a relatively normal schedule.
I had written a letter to both my GM and FOM regarding my new job. The FOM stayed late last night to speak with me about it. My feeling is that being hired for this new job had absolute perfect timing. She told me that, being that we are coming into the slow season, our hours would have been cut down anyway. So it kind of eases the burden on her payroll budget. She acknowledged that she doesn't think I will be able to keep both jobs for long, but agreed to let me stay on Sunday and Monday nights, which is when my coworker has off. I don't think it will be so bad. My fiance usually has off on Sunday, so I should get enough sleep. And if I can get my future MIL to agree to watch The Bean, give him dinner, a bath and put him to bed, then I can get sleep on Mondays. If not though, he goes to bed at 7:30 so I will still get about 3 hours a sleep, which is what I get most of the time anyway. So it won't be too much change. I know that when I leave the hotel I will need a second job. I just hope I can wait a little while. I really will need the money, but I know I am really going to want to be home. Plus, if I work at night too, that means I will have to get someone to watch The Bean. Which is asking a lot of someone (like my fiance's parents) who just get home from their own full schedule.
One negative effect I will be feeling very soon is the fact that The Bean has his 2 year check up in the 19th. I will no longer be full time at the hotel at that point and so we won't have insurance, as I am sure that it won't kick in immediately at the doctors office. Maybe I can talk to my manager and see if the first two weeks of my new job I can go down to 32 hours, so that I am still technically full time. It's asking a lot of myself though. I don't know if I can do it. I might have to though. And I will probably have to reschedule his appointment for a new time since I will now be at work during the day. Yikes. Maybe she has weekend hours and I can go the weekend before. That way I only have to work two extra nights the first week. I think that is what I should find out. I'll have to call them today. Maybe they will let me push his appointment up a week so that I don't have to put extra hours in at all. Maybe I can make this work afterall. This blog thing is coming in very handy for sorting my thoughts.
It's now Thursday. Tonight is a VIP thing for the new Buffalo Wild Wings in Hicksville where my old TGIFriday's manager is the DO. He got us a ticket for 2 to attend. So we are dropping The Bean off at my brothers for a few hours while we go be child-free adults briefly. Then it will be back to work for me for my last overnight of the week. Then tomorrow morning I will be heading upstate to visit my best friend and her family with the kids. It will call for a LOT of caffiene, that's for sure. I'm going to try to leave work 15 minutes early to get a bit of a nap in before heading out. Which means packing for myself and the two kids must be done today. Along with all the cleaning. And I have to nap this afternoon so I can almost function tonight. Busy day ahead. But it will all be worth it. I can't wait!
Thanks for reading.
Peace & Love,
Emily
