• Disappointments

  I had a pretty lousy weekend, not counting Friday. Friday was fine; I finally got to see the rest of the special features on my Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 DVD box set, and if I had time, I would've started on a marathon so that I could see them all again before season 3 premeires on Friday. Unfortunately, my brother has started a MacGyver marathon, and since it's nearly impossible to get him off the TV after he starts watching it....*sigh*

  But that's not what really got to me. What really got to me started Saturday. I worked from 12-3, which I was happy with; normal hours (for me), and it gave me plenty of time to do my homework. Well...I discovered that I had been put on "Dining" for the first time. The person on "dining" is the one who goes around the dining room and cleans off the tables, fills salt/pepper shakers, vaccuums the floor, etc. I had been wanting to do a little bit of that, just to see what it was like, and I was fairly excited...at first. However, I didn't know how to do it, so I had to ask other people for advice...and unfortunately, everyone does it differently. One person told me to take dirty pepper shakers to the back so that someone could put them through the washing machine, then about a half hour later (when I was about to start looking over the shakers), someone else told me that I should go around and do them all at once when I had time. While I was trying to do that, I got called away multiple times to go clean up the tables and other stuff like that...only for my manager to tell me that I should do salt and pepper shakers quickly! That was the moment when I came the closest to yelling at one of my co-workers...ever. And I hated the feeling, especially considering she was my manager.

  Suffice it to say, by the end of my shift, I felt like I was being pulled in about 5 different directions at once. Thankfully, about 15 minutes before I was off, someone started doing some of the things I was asked to do while I did some of the other stuff. Even so, I've never looked more forward to the end of my shift than Saturday, and never have I disliked my day at work so much.

  Unfortunately, I used the fact that it was a Friday and my bad day at work as excuses to put off my homework all weekend...meaning I had a good hour and a half's worth of work to do on Sunday. However, Sunday was also the day that my youth group was going to go to Valleyfair; something I've been wanting to go with for years, but I've always missed it for one reason or another. I was planning to go, since I was going to be available and had the money...but when I found out they were leaving right after church and not getting back until 8:00, I knew I couldn't go. I spent most of my day working on the homework, and feeling my depression growing.

  *Sigh* I'm still kind of depressed. I have a lot of homework, and I work 4 days this week---three of them being tonight, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Weekdays I work make doing homework pretty difficult...meaning I'm probably going to be stressed out for the next three days.

  Why can't we have 32 hour days and be awake for 31 of them?!
