ARGH, FUCK MY LIFE.
I have to open tomorrow. I mean, the park doesn't open until noon, and I just have to be there at ten to make more cucumber sauce (I think I've made or portioned at least a dozen batches in the past week!) and then Nancy comes in at noon.
The past few work days, random as they've been, have been good ones. It's also been good to get out of the house. The only downside is that it's messed up my already fuckity sleep schedule and cut into my online time with Fizzy and Chris (whether from me having to work while one's online or having to sleep while one's online...dammit). I like my co-workers, the work is constant but not particularly difficult, it keeps me busy while I'm there, and it feels good to be gainfully employed.
BUT...
For one thing, Nancy always has me coming in in the morning or afternoon. 11-3, 12-4, etc. I've asked her often to let me work the closing shift (4-8) with Agrita. That way, I get time with Chris, time with Fizzy, and I get to sleep my regular (well, as regular as it gets) sleep schedule.
So of course I'm opening for the first time tomorrow. Which means I have to be there at ten. I don't have to be on the line (cooking for and ringing up customers), since there isn't even money in the till as Nancy went home sick today and took the cash with her (she's the owner, she can do that), and she wants me to start on more cucumber sauce (even though that's what she had Agrita and I in to do today for a couple of hours--we made four batches!), and she'll be there at noon (when the park opens, and then it'll be more prep and working the line).
So I'll be going to bed early (like soon after midnight)...again. And I actually got plenty of sleep today (for once), so I hope I'll be able to sleep at all.
Sorry for all the parentheses, that might be a bit disjointing, but I keep remembering stuff I didn't mention earlier...so behold my thoughts more-or-less the way I think them. :P
