[on work]

Work has been stressing me out so badly lately! There’s been a lot of petty drama. We’ve been super busy, and I’ve taken on new responsibilities without getting any time blocked off to work on them. Plus, we’re hiring new people which makes things go a little less smoothly for a bit. Thankfully the slow season is coming up soon, and we’ll all be able to breathe a little easier.

My boss assures me that I will know about my promotion details this week. There are two of us in limbo with this (myself and one of the receptionists), and we were told Friday that our new job descriptions have been finalized and pay raises submitted for approval, and we WILL know everything this week. I hope so, because they have a tendency to drag things out. Given how underpaid I actually am in my field, I hope I get a decent raise! I should easily be making $2-4 more an hour than I currently do.

Also, I am going to be changing my schedule. As much as I love my current schedule, it is totally irrelevent while I go to school. I think I am going to switch to Mondays and Wednesdays off (these are the days I have class), and I automatically have Sundays off. I’m not looking forward to working Saturdays AT ALL, but I think it will make balancing work, class and clinicals (which are one day a week for 8 hours) much less stressful. I hope I’m right, because Saturdays are the absolute worst day to work. This better be worth it! I’ll spare you the boring details!

That’s about all for now. I’m feeling stressed and frazzled and not really enjoying it 🙁
