I can’t
believe it is August already!
Do I
like my new job? Not so much and, unfortunately,
I was mislead a bit with regard to a very important component - my wages. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired too
so that only compounds the issue. I have
a high standard when it comes to my work ethic and the quality of my work. I also have a hard time being around fellow employees
that bad mouth the boss every time
she walks out of the room and the company they work for. If you are unhappy then you should move
on. In the meantime keep your mouth
shut.
I was
flabbergasted when they pulled out their cell phones to watch TV when the boss
left early one day. Needless to say I am
continuing my job search. In the
meantime I will continue at this one as it isn’t costing me money to work
there. If it did, that would be a whole
different deal. Anyway enough of that.
Instead
of a daily update I decided to do a weekly update. With me returning to work on Monday we are
re-adjusting and trying to come up with a new routine and schedule. So far, so good.
Most of
our projects and adventures will be done on the weekends and a few in the
evenings. Our mornings are spent getting
a head start on our chores so we can free up our evenings and weekends. We are all doing our part and working
together so the burden doesn’t fall all on one person – ME.
If
there is anything I have learned as a working full-time single mom it is that
weekends shouldn’t be the time where you work yourself like a dog preparing for
the following week. I will be focusing
more on time spent with family and friends instead.
This
week we haven’t done much in the way of projects as we are settling into the
“new norm”. I think, in a way, it is a
good way to wind down the summer and get into the groove of going back to
school.
Our
Saturday will be spent with me in the sewing room. I need to get busy with quite a few projects
so I can list some items to sell on eBay and Etsy. Unfortunately I’ve let my little enterprise
go and we really can’t afford to be doing that.
On
Sunday I have a big decoupage project planned after our morning chores are
done. I’ll post more on that one later. J
We also need to work on our Snowman Project so we’ll be working on that
as well. I also plan to post on that one
really soon, probably in the next week or two.
So
things are different around here but all good too. It is a comfort to know I’ll have regular
income again for awhile.
Hi - I enjoy reading your blog especially the ways you find to have fun with your kids without spending alot of money - those are the real memories that mean something!
ReplyDeleteAs a small business owner I really appreciate employees with a good work ethic - how discouraging it is when people take advantage of the boss being out - Sometimes I feel like a babysitter! Jessiejack
