I'm actually sane today

piploverHello, all.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the last few posts. I'm trying not to be so negative, but work really just ambushed me this week, and I had to vent somewhere. When they tried to tell me I HAD to work on Christmas Eve as well as Christmas Day? That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I very politely told them that there was no way I could do that, and that I would not be working Christmas Eve, thank you very much.
I worked an overtime shift of 4 and a half hours today, which wasn't bad, and will help with the bills. Halfway through they put us back on chats, thank God. Most of the customers were perfectly reasonable, but I've found I'm just extremely loath to take phonecalls. So I still think I am going to be looking into alternate jobs this summer, when things have calmed down and after I've gone to England, lol.
I do know I'm lucky to have a job, and I'm thankful for it. But I'm not going to put my mental or physical health on the back burner because I'm afraid of change. This job is nice for a while, but I don't want to do it for the next 5 years. I don't even want to do it for the next 2 years!
Anyway, I'm in a much better mood today. I got most of my Christmas shopping done, and I've been watching Christmas movies the past few hours. Plus, I went over to my mom's and talked to her for a while, so that was really nice.
All in all, I think I'm just tired and stressed and basically trying to survive the holiday. I hope you're all doing well!

Here's to getting through the holiday!

I hope your concert goes great, and here's to all of us surviving the holidays!
