This past Friday my friend and her entire family packed up and left me for a family vacation. i was invited-but had declined due to not wanting to miss work. I didn’t think my new job would take too kindly me leaving less than a month after I started.
It’s been an odd few days alone. I’ve been working a lot which has been keeping me occupied-but at the same time-work is becoming unbearable (long story). Saturday I worked literally all day long, from 8am until Midnight-then Sunday I was meant to work from 8am to 4-but I felt physically ill and left at noon. I came home and virtually collapsed on the couch until 8pm when I dragged myself to bed. I managed to get to work today and stay my entire shift but still didn’t feel 100% and when I got home-my evening mirrored that of yesterday’s afternoon/evening.
It sounds pretty lonely and boring but it hasn’t been bad. I’ve been doing a lot of uninterrupted reading. I’ve finally managed to bond with my friend’s cat-who has decided that I’m not so bad after all. She is quite enjoying jumping on my lap and curling up for a nap whenever I’m at home. She’s not exactly a nice cat (she bites!) but, I have to admit that despite the biting thing-she’s an okay cat.
I have a bit of a meet and greet tomorrow regarding a transfer at my job. I really hope that it works out and I will find a new job site that I’m comfortable at. I won’t go into details about my current job site, but I’ll just say that I’m extremely uncomfortable there and very unhappy. If you are desperate for details-feel free to email me.
After I get off work, I’m going to force myself to actually go out and do something. That something will probably consist of going to Target or Walmart to pick up a few needed items and perhaps to get something to eat…but at least it’ll be something.
Now I must get to bed.

Working at a job one doesn’t like can be physically and emotionally destructive. I hope you find something else fast.

I’m sorry to hear the job has continued to spiral downwards
I hope it can all be sorted very soon.
Being completely alone can do you such good, can’t it? It always helps to put me in a much better frame of mind.

You sound like me and you’re a lot younger. Get out while you can.

I like your description of the cat – as the owner of one very moody moggy, I know exactly what you mean.

I’m glad you’re getting out and moving around, even if it is WalMart. It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re spending alone time. Hang in there!

Sorry to hear that you’ve been feeling like Death Eating a Cracker. A lot of it is probably stress-related from your job and hopefully you can get a new job site and feel worlds better.
I rather like time by myself and am enjoying the time that I have now with my daughter in New Jersey. Of course, it would be better if I wasn’t covering a lot of shifts for other people who are on vacation but still … no one’s nagging at me that there’s nothing in the house to eat!
Hope you feel better soon!

Hope you are feeling better! Perhaps that alone time is just what your body needs?

I love ‘alone’ time at home, for reading and blogging and just all around quiet.
Im sorry that your job is kicking your ass like this. That isn’t a good sign. To have just started a month ago and to be that beaten down makes me sad for you.

Good luck with getting transferred to a place where you feel more comfortable (and feel better soon, too!).

First time on this blog and I’m totally (I mean this word totally okay) fascinated by your ear candy. I’m going to read through your blog and comment, okay?

You worked 8am until midnight? Oh my that is too much. No wonder you were exhausted.

Cats can make the worst days seem more tolerable. Hope you continue to enjoy spending time with the feline.
