I am so beat. But it's a good kind of beat. Because of what caused it...

I was at work filling the entire cooler. The soda, milk, iced tea and other various beverages which we sell. I consolidated all the cases/racks of product. I took out the 30 empty milk crates the first shift left and the 10 that I emptied and took out all of the trash that they'd left. It seems that I am the only one to follow the rule of "if you empty it, you take it out.". So I took out all of the trash I made and took out everything from everyone else.

Then I attacked the Gatorade like you wouldn't believe. Honestly..it hadn't been touched in about two months and both sections of Gatorade product was empty. I had to carry each case from the main hallway of the store into the cooler, break open the case, fill the cooler racks and then take all of the trash out. Heavy stuff. Much lifting, bending and repeat.

Towards the end of that Chad called me and said that a bunch of people from the counter and the kitchen called out where he worked. It was supposed to be one guy's first night and he pulled a no-call/no-show. So he lost his job already. A few people will be fired over tonight. Chad told them that I had been interested in picking up some hours there and that I had experience in a similar setting. So they asked him to call me and see if I'd go in when I got home from work. Despite how exhausted I was, I went. I got in 4 hours. I will get more into the job in a future post but it's too much to type now considering my current level of exhaustion.

When we left Chad told me that they may have him call me in tomorrow night. And I said that I would see how I feel by then. I have to leave extra early for work to go to the city for the bank to cash my paycheck. Work is only 5 hours so if they offer, I may just take them up on it. End up with 45 hours of work this week. I make a good deal less at this other place but its under the table so when you figure in taxes and such from my day job it comes out to roughly the same pay. I figure that if I really get a hang of it then they could try to call me in whenever they need help and it'd just be more money for me to save up for my next car and my move in May/June.

I don't 100% dig the job but I can wear what I want and there's music that I'd actually listen to when not working unlike 85%+ of the music played at Hess. Plus the variety is MUCH greater where I work with Chad. And it should be alright if I'm not held to an actual schedule. With what I make from Hess I can pay my rent, my transportation and some food. With the money I'll be collecting back from Chad each week I'll get more in the way of savings. So this job will just help push my savings up. And like tonight I figured that I'd be up til now anyway. And I'd probably sit around and do not much of anything. So I might as well go in and make some more money. So I'll probably take it on an opportunity-by-opportunity basis.

Well I guess that's about it for now. I don't feel all that tired sitting here. Just sore as all hell. My eyes were burning somethin' ferocious towards the end of my shift at All-Star but they feel better. But I KNOW for a fact that as soon as I lay in bed..I'm gone!

I'll keep you posted. Happy Saturday!

yay! extra money is always good. the means of getting it isn't always good, but the money itself is. anywho, I hope you slept well {which I'm sure you did}

Extra money is always good but being very exhausted because of that isn't that good. I heop you won't be over exhausting yourself cause then you'll fall sick and you get less money in the end.
