Sick .... && just really tired.
So I am back from Windsor but to my dismay, I came down with probably the worst illness I've ever endured. Everything about me hurts. Even my eyelashes are paining me. Its incredible that I can even stay awake long enough to type this. Every 2 hours I fall asleep for 3 hours. My head is killing me from all the oversleeping I'm doing. Gosh, I feel like death. BUT, despite my sickness there is so much more killing me.
I have to go to work tomorrow. Everyone knows I love my job. But for the amount of time and energy I put into it, it hardy ever seems worth it. I mean, I deal with guests all day by catering to their every whim if I can, watching their children, running their activities, getting and serving their food, cleaning up after them, taking out trash, washing dishes, sweeping and vaccuming, folding t-shirts, putting together corporate packages, sometimes I do bar and sometime soon, I'll be cooking their food as well. Can you believe I get paid a whopping 8 dollars an hour to do this? Tip may or maynot be included. I really wouldn't mind it if the company made it seem worth it. Agreed the people are amazing and what other job can you have that allows you to gain experience in so many different areas? But at the end of a 12 hour shift and a 52 hour 2 weeks, your all too little paycheck lands in your all to empty bank account and before you have time to bask in the fruits of your labor -- you realize you never made enough to even begin to feel rewarded. Sometimes, if not most times, I feel like giving in my 2 weeks and be like "Listen Rinx, I could be getting paid ALOT more for doing ALOT LESS!" I mean, Michael Korrs wants to pay me 10 bucks and hour just to sell shoes and purses! Sigh, I dont even know. Im grateful to my job too and honestly I really do love my job.
If it isnt the fact that I'm kiling myself at the Rinx, it's this job that offers so little is taking me away from the people who offer me so much. I haven't really spent any time with my family, or friends or even my boyfriend and I miss them all. Especially my boyfriend. His job gives him the weekend free while mine resolved solely around the weekend. I know I'm not the first to have a job interfere with her personal life but it really does suck. Oh well.
Alright, time to take my medication. Im so drugged its unbelieveable!
