So that you don't think I fell off the face of the Earth.
I'm just working A LOT.
6 days a week, but some of them are half days.
But those half days are so super busy that I come home and crash.
The other day I came home and sat down and was looking at Pinterest on my phone
and I feel asleep for a moment and sent a link to one of my contacts!
Luckily it was my friend/co-worker and it was just a photo of a fence idea.
I told her what had happened and she laughed.
I'm still thinking POSITIVE but some days are hard.
The girl who has been working part-time for me for years has been needing so many weekends off.
In fact she had the majority of weekends off last summer because of horse things and
she now tells me that she needs ALL weekends off this summer to go bow-fishing with her new boyfriend.
She's been whiny and grumbling and spending a lot of time on her phone when she needs to be working instead.
I know this because co-workers told me this is what she does while I'm gone.
I confronted her and told her I'd put her back of weekends if she didn't straighten up
and she said she would NOT work weekends again and if I put her on the schedule,
she would quit without giving me a 2 week notice.
I was so angry but with a skeleton crew and the one woman going back in for knee surgery
I bit my tongue and told her she'd have to be a team player in case of emergencies on weekends.
She said she would, IF she was in town.
I'm furious but I don't want to work every day so for now, I'm doing weekends
and hopefully I can "visualize" another person for her shift.
Good news though!
The new girl I hired is working out perfectly.
She does have a full-time job, so she's only available a few evenings but....
who knows!?
Maybe somehow, something will work out.
NO, it WILL work out.
But right now, I'm just not thinking about it.
It's in the back of my brain and some day it when it slows down
and my other girl has recuperated from surgery
and my other girl has recuperated from surgery
I WILL put that girl back on weekends and what will be, will be.
I have more to share but ...must get to bed.
I'll leave you with this.
ricochet
[rik′ə s̸hā′, rik′ə s̸hā′; Brit, -s̸het′]
- The definition of a ricochet is an act of bouncing off a surface.
- Ricochet is defined as to bounce off a surface and go another direction.
Ricochet.
Yep, that's her name now.
I would stop and hesitate and try to remember her name
as she bounced off the furniture.
I swear, sometimes she doesn't even touch the floor.
She just flies from sofa to chair to ottoman and back.
She does slow down long enough to cozy up to Jimmy Chew
and take his toy away.
Jimmy Chew has more than met his match.
Yep, pay backs are Hell... both for him and my grumpy complaining part-time girl.
