workaholic
i have been working a lot lately, which is a good thing i suppose.
today (saturday) is my first day of in eleven days! i work tomorrow afternoon and monday and tuesday, so after tuesday i will have worked 14 of the last 15 days! sheesh…. with no overtime. it seems that my many days have been perfectly spaced over three separate weeks. this is part of my own doing, though. i’ve picked up two extra shifts and requested certain days off which resulted in these killer two weeks. i am somewhat exausted but it’s nice to have a day off to relax a bit.
in other work news:
i became a shift supervisor again last week. my manager, shiloh, has been quite pleased with my performance at this store so he wanted to move me up a bit quicker than he anticipated. since i moved up 2 months sooner than expected, he put me up for a raise (quite unexpected). instead of the maximum 3.5% raise we all hope to get after a stellar review, shiloh requested a whopping 6.25% raise for me! we were nervous that it wouldn’t be approved by our district manager, but we got the word on thursday that it did! now i am making 8.50 per hour instead of 8! (i know, it’s a small amount, but that fifty cents can go a long way!)
Shiloh also wants to move me up to assistant manager as soon as possible. i know that i am on my way; but i have to deal with school right now. we’ll work the asm stuff out later.
have a blessed saturday,
