So it’s been a week or so since my last post. I don’t know what it is about the week following Thanksgiving, but man oh man, I’ve just been so tired! I haven’t been wanting to do anything except go to bed. A big con to working in a retail setting is that there is never a set time throughout the week that one might work. There is no 9-5 everyday thing. It’s more like Mon:7-4, Tues: 930-6, Wed: 10-5:30, Thur: 12-9, and Fri: 1-11. It’s all over the place and the shifts aren’t even the same length either! Some weeks I work exactly 40 hours, but sometimes it’s more like 39.5 or 38.5. Just random! I never go to sleep the same time at night, nor do I wake up at the same time in the morning. I don’t have a consistent schedule, so I cant’ do many extra-curricular things like go to the gym or even the library.  There is a silver lining though; weekends are always over by 6, no matter what.

Working these different shifts does have some advantages.  Getting off at 4 means that no matter how busy it gets, I have an out. I get to leave! No one can keep me from my dream! Okay, okay, I know it’s a little dramatic, but that’s how it feels most days.
