Lacking in substance

Man, it’s been a crazy long time since I’ve written! This won’t be too in depth or significant because I am, of course, at work. I’ve been working around 60 hours a week for the past two weeks, and it looks like the entire month of March will be this way. I work at the Co-op on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, then at the parks on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. That’s seven out of seven weekdays. It isn’t really a big deal, and the Co-op is a lot more tolerable now that I’m mostly working in the produce section instead of cashiering. I really like working in produce; it’s really gratifying to make all of the fruits and vegetables pretty. Plus it’s a lot less face time with customers which is nice (especially in the mornings… I open produce, so have to go in at 630am). I’ve been getting tons of compliments about my work ethic at the Co-op lately, and they are trusting me with more and more responsibility. I’m also getting another raise.

So yeah, I’ve been working A LOT. I also started dating a dude from the Co-op (Tom) on Valentine’s Day, and have been spending most of my free time hanging out with him. He’s really great and we get along famously despite the differences in our personalities (he’s a real extrovert and likes to be pretty melodramatic sometimes). I like him lots though, and he’s been really great to me, especially when it comes to telling me I’m pretty and stocking his kitchen with foods I like. When I start officially dating a dude I tend to get a little obsessed, and that’s one thing we have in common. That’s why we’ve been spending tons and tons and tons of time together. It’s basically a relief to not feel like I’m bugging a dude I’m dating with my constant eagerness to see him. Actually, he’s been the one harassing (okay, not really harassing) me to hang out with him, so it’s pretty refreshing for me in some weird way.

I haven’t been sleeping much, and that plus my busy work schedule has been making me feel pretty crummy and disoriented. I haven’t really been updating or noting or talking to many people because there just isn’t enough time in the day. Yeah, I know there are other things I could cut back on to have more "free" time (when I’m not working 8-10 hours a day), but… yeah. I don’t think I’ll have a day off until at least April, so I’m sorry if I’ve been a jerk.

Anyway, I feel pretty weird writing at work so I think I’ll go. I’m probably forgetting to write about lots of stuff and will hopefully get around to it soon.
