The burnout

Sooo I'm back to blogging...

Or at least I think so. I hope so at least.

Life is in an interesting and different phase for me right now.... and I will get into that over this week I hope.

For now work consumes all my time.

I'm working a bunch of hours and it's becoming draining. Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful and not complaining...but I'm fading and that's frustrating.

3 weeks ago I worked 44 hours at Gianotti's and then over the last 2 weeks I have worked over 90 hours between Red Robin and Gianotti's.


I was able to move my shift around at Gianotti's to benefit me both long and short term.

I had been working Monday to Saturday 4-10 (M-TH) and 4-11 (Fri,Sat) and it was killing me only having one day off, so for that reason and the fact that morning shifts get better money, I dropped my Monday and started working a double shift on Wednesdays (8-3,4-10). I just started it last week after asking for it for so long...and I'm thankful for it....but it wore me out...

After the day, I came home and crashed for 11 hours and still felt worn out the next day... but I keep pressing on. In fact, I believe I am about to get another double shift soon. My hope is to cut my Tuesday nights and do a double Wednesday, double Thursday, and then my normal shifts Friday and Saturday nights.


I guess things for me are starting to change in terms of what I focus on. Months ago I concentrated on fun and everything else but now, even with over 40 hours a week, I am still searching for more work. After all, I do have my mornings free and I'm not in school now so I might as well work as much as I can while I'm not.

Ah life continues.... hopefully the burnout ends soon though.
