overworked. ; Thursday, May 06, 2010 15:12
it's the month of may already. i've been effectively working for the past three weeks. this is my fourth.
it's true that working keeps my mind occupied and earns me some extra cash but i think i may have overworked for a PART-TIME job. i even forgot that this sunday is mother's day. fortunately i managed to clear my night schedule for that day.
i don't regret working in f&b even if the pay is significantly lower than an average job. it's a fun environment. once in awhile, you get difficult customers. those who want to take away their iced tea when we don't offer that service. i contemplated pouring her drink into an inflated balloon because she didn't believe that we couldn't do that. if fish&co is a coffeeshop then your minced meat noodles outside would cost $7.50 per bowl.
they say the fastest way to learn something is to do it hands-on. teaching me how to operate the bar counter would take time. the faster alternative is to throw me inside for a night of operations, watching me frantically flipping through the recipes on how to make each drink. fortunately no one complained about the diabetic drinks, because i found them too sweet after i've made them.
in comes cheerleading. i've been trying to balance the two and i can say that i've done a good job. literally just cheer and work. but i forgot that cheerleading requires gym. and i have practically no time for it. i've been working more full shifts lately and i haven't been to the gym for two weeks. i can see my fitness level drastically dropping.
now i realise i hardly see my parents. they are asleep when i reach home at night and they have already left for work when i wake up in the morning.
since cheerleading is indispensable to me, i should reduce my work schedule. i need more family time.
