Ever felt like a single week just lasts forever and ever? That's what this week has been for me -- I don't know why. I feel like such a wimp for complaining... I've handled more than this before. I've worked longer hours, done more housework, balanced my drawing time with my sweetie time, and felt like a million bucks while doing it all. Don't you love that, by the way? I miss being able to handle it all.

It's not even like I'm full time. My hours just barely seem to scrape the ever-distant ceiling of full time status with a gentle brush of a fingertip. So why do I never feel like tackling the dishes or doing the laundry when I get home? I feel like Matt's mom must think I take horrible care of her son. I guess it's just the stress of this particular job...

I was telling Matt the other day, that it's now official that this job is more stressful than my last one. When I first started waiting tables, I had a nightmare that I continually got double, triple, and quadruple-sat and kept breaking dishes, spilling drinks, and taking too long to get to tables, while the occupants looked irritably on at their regrettably incompetent waitress.

This time, the nightmare was that, except there was a computer at each table, and its occupants watched me scrutinizingly, as I hurried to repair the unit so I could move onto the next table, as I'd been quintuple-sat with broken computers.

Between all the people leaving, and constantly calling out, and our inability to get some kind of dedicated manager over our department, along with our horrid organization skills, and increased pressure to sell more services so that we can keep our jobs... I guess it's just wearing on me.

But at least I get to go out and have fun every once in awhile. Today, Matt and I went out with Jason and Maria for Sonic, bowling, go-karts and pool. It was a much-needed break from all the jerks whining about their broken modems, or whatever.
