cant be with family on Thanksgiving :(

 I am wore to the point of exhaustion. Everytime I think I might get some rest I get called into work. Poor Talan arranges time for us to go on a date to discover I am called into work before that said date. I was told in January the hours will be cut to nothing and I really should get as many as possible. Due to snow and my work schedule Talan I havent seen one another much lately. He’s understanding but my family is not. His family is annoyed that Talan picks me up after work and we go shopping. When I try to leave Talan begs me not to go. He’s often worried that I am running myself to the point of exhaustion. For Thanksgiving I get time and a half and due to me being over 40 hours on my schedule I am getting overtime in order to work. Talan wants to care for me but he has to understand I am an independent woman and I have learned never to depend on other. After this week things will go a bit more to normal I will see him than.I hope he understands

 Today for Thanksgiving I worked 5-11am I come back from 6:30 pm on the 28th to 3:30 am on the 29th (Black FRiday) I take me another break for me to come back the same say and work from 1:30-10 pm. I get paid time and a half on Thanksgiving. I am going to miss out on visiting my family for Thanksgiving because I need some rest between my shifts I am exhausted! No one thinks the thing cashier sacrifice in order to be sure that you get your black friday items no one realizes what its like not be with your family on thanksgiving but your work family. The work family isnt the same but I guess it will have to do.

 I am sorry I havent been writing much lately I have been working so much this is the first time between my shifts I could really write in this diary. I hope I can take this money to fix my car pay my bills and pay for a proper date for me and my boyfriend. God knows he’s been so patient and loving.I hope I can make it up to him. My family understands me working so much and has been driving me since my car broke down! I am grateful for family blood or not they are my world. I got nap before my 6:30pm shift-3:30 am shift. Bye

I’m glad you’re getting hours to make more money, but I also hope you get some time to relax.
