Work.....Im exhausted & sore & have no time for anything

[kryptoniteqhs]

I work at TSC. I just got off & have to be back there first thing in the morning. I worked 9 hours yesterday and 8 today. Im exhausted, my back hurts, my feet hurt, my neck hurts (and was just at the Chiropractor this morning), stupid people really piss me off (i live in WV & work at TSC so you can just imagine). I have chicks coming out my ears and have almost no time to tend to them. I have time to feed them & thats it. I had to pack & ship eggs before work today, I just aquired a (probably 5 day old) kitten who needs to be bottle fed every two hours. Luckily my mom has him & will be up with him tonight, but its my turn again tomorrow. Ive been running around like a maniac and still have no time for anything and am late to everything. I need to get to bed now, but I have had no time to myself and would just like to relax & watch tv for a bit, but I know I'll regret it in the morning......ahhhhh.......

now time to go out and check on the broody and her new chicks that, of course, were having trouble hatching (meaning i spent my whopping 30min lunch break with them today--that and going to the PO to ship eggs)....yay me!

oh and i havent even gotten a chance to start my garden which i will probably be digging by hand

i keep thinking of stuff and adding it....this is how my mind works and this is why im so stressed out -- coops need to be cleaned, first horse show of the season is this saturday (my only day off) and i havent had time to ride, & house is a MESS and laundry is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overdue! and we cant forget that i hate my job more everyday, but I have no time to do my resume. i also have no time to work out which helps relieve my stress, nor do i want to bc im sore from head to toe from being on my feet everyday. its also hard to stick to no sweets bc i feel like i deserve them now lol n not eating past 6 is hard when i dont get to eat all day and dont get home to 9 at night at the earliest.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough day

I know sometimes thinking about all the crap you have to do, just makes your mind go CRAZY...sometimes I write everything down, that way its outta my head and onto a piece of paper. I feel your pain, especially in regards to the laundry

You sound just like me! I'm hostessing a baby shower on Friday but my house is a wreck and I currently have chickens free ranging in my office because their coop is two weeks behind schedule being built. I'd planned for the last two weekends to finish the coop but both times the people helping me got hurt--the first breaking an ankle in a climbing accident a day before and the second smashing her finger while using a pickax to break up rocks right as we got started on work installing fence posts.

My laundry is turning into a mountain, my garden is stalled until I can till it and plant it in my nonexistant spare time, and I've used up all my off time at work. AGH!

It makes me feel better to know that there are others in the same boat. You're not alone!

"stupid people really piss me off (i live in WV & work at TSC so you can just imagine)" Hysterical! I work in a court FULL of stupid people... isn't it just maddening sometimes?!?!

I say eat, exercise later (sounds like you're getting enough @ work

) and good luck @ the horse show. I've attached a few pics to make you feel better:

I'm so lazy and I don't even care

 

[kryptoniteqhs]

1. Welcome to the world of retail!
a. It only gets worse around Christmas...so look forward to that!

2. Focus on one thing per day that you want to get done.
a. Laundry: Get a laundry organizer. A standing one that has three slots ($15 at wal-mart) divide it up into "lights", "darks", and "reds." This will help you visually see which things need to be washed first. You don't feel as overwhelmed.
b. When you get done with a plate, put it into the sink. Feel free to have the sink full of water and Dawn soap. It helps loosen the grime instead of letting it harden on there and you have to scrub and scrub...
c. Do your "big" projects on the days you get off or the days that you have short hours.

3. Try and "center" yourself. Bring a book that helps you remove yourself from work during your lunch break. You won't believe how much more relaxed you'll feel once you've taken a GOOD break from the stress of your job.

4. At the end of the week, or on a day that you have off and have worked throughout the day on projects, take a nice long bubble bath. The more bubbles, the better.

If you ever need to vent, feel free to PM me. I've been at Wal-Mart for 5 years, going on 6 in September. Sometimes you need to take a step back and see how many people you work with that you can actually call friends. You rely on them, you're a team. Give it more time...right now you may be the "new" person and aren't feeling very outgoing. Try being friends with them. The best ones I've found are the older women. They've been around this world a lot more than you or I and have some excellent ideas of their own to help their stress levels.
