Stop overscheduling myself at work.

My new shoes are ready on monday, but I got a call today from my co-worker who wants me to work for her on monday, so she can go to a funeral for a friend of her daughters. Of course, I said yes. I mean, who wouldn’t, btu I do wish I could get my dang shoes.
:(
and I wish I didn’t have to do 3 days in a row.

I am sooooo annoyed at myself.

I forgot my training session tomorro and said I’d do 4 hours in the morning at work. Then I come home and find a note on my door, landlord wants to show apartment. Grrr. So, my apartment is a colossal mess. Must clean up the floors, and call work and see if I can give them different hours tomorro.

Oh I feel so stupid. and I hate cleaning under pressure.

I think… I’ve done it.
I did do some Overtime this week, but it was only 5 hours.
and a little overtime is ok, a big fat honkin overtime is not.

I finally recognized the phone number from work.
No, I will not answer it, nor will I call back. I am so enjoying my days off…that even though the money is sweet, so is my time off…its such a joy to go to sleep late and get up when i want to and have time with the dog etc….

I have 4 entire days off work. I did not sign up for Overtime, I did not offer to stay later, I am probably going to turn off the telephone, etc….

I feel soooo good about this!

in a row. I have a belief that the universe revolves around this place now. It wasn’t pretty or pleasant. and now its over. One day off to recharge and then another day back to be resource for new staff.

day went so horribly miserably, I need to put this goal into practice immediately. No more overtime for me on the next schedule. Yay!

I did it again.

I agreed to work from 7 until midnight tonight. We are very very short staffed, and its a monday.

In addition: I get paid my normal pay scale, PLUS, nightshift differential, PLUS time and a half due to Holiday, PLUS Incentive pay. I mean, how could I refuse. Ahhh.

I did it again.

Worked 12 today…

will be doing the touring of potential hires tomorro…
for a short time.

then will need to work Fri, Sat, and Sunday.
It’s a lot, and I may end up with Monday as its a holiday, as well….

I’m good. i’ve got enough Overtime and enough days off, so i should be able to accomplish things in a balanced way.
Will check this off as I see that I am consistently paying attention to this.
