So, Yeah...

Nothing really new and exciting to report right now. Except that my schedual needs some serious revision.

One of the girls who just got trained at the Lucky (she was being trained in the kitchen while I was on holidays), is leaving as of... Thursday, I think. Either way, it's this week. And another of our newer employees is leaving soon because her other job is starting to provide more hours. So, Caroline went in to drop off a resume, and they told her that they were looking for someone to work mostly 7am-3pm ish shifts.

Well, guess what shifts I've been getting. Go Figure.

So, assuming that I should be expecting mostly those 6-2 type shifts for the next little while, I need to start making adjustments. First of all, Wednesday is my Laundry Day, as set out through the "Happy Mike" agreement. That's fine, but it looks like I'll be working 6-2 those mornings, then having class from 3.30-5pm, then class from 6.30-9.30pm. By the time I get home on the bus (I've been driving as little as possible), it's about 10pm. Throw in a load of laundry, and by the time it's out of the dryer, it's after midnight, and it's appearning as I'll be working Thursdays 6am-2pm as well. That makes for a very tired Sparky, since I have rehersal's Tuesdays from 7 to... I don't know, 9.30 ish? And Rehersals Thursday nights after my 6.30-8.30 class until about 10pm or later. Throw in an early Friday shift, and I'm dead by the weekend.

So, we re-organize.

Mondays and Tuesdays I appear to have off from work. So, if I throw most of the housework into Saturday-Tuesday, I can focus on school and work Wednesday-Friday. So, it looks a little something like (after including doing dishes in the 1/2 hour cleaning block):

As Needed: Shovel Driveway, steps (they're all ice at the moment, but they're forcasting 10 cm soon...)

Sunday: Readings, Rehersals, Re-typing notes, 1/2 hour cleaning, pick up room.
Monday: Garbage to curb, 1/2 hour cleaning, reading, begin assignments for next week
Tuesday: Grocery Shopping when needed, Readings (if any are left), complete assignments for next week (if possible), 1/2 hour cleaning
Wednesday: Laundry, readings (if necessary), organize 1 drawer (just to keep myself awake.)
Thursday: clear paperwork from tops of desk, dresser. Sleep.
Friday: (Vagina Monologue rehersals will likley be in here somewhere) Organize the week's notes, 1/2 hour cleaning
Saturday: prep food for the week, 1/2 hour cleaning, finish anything I didn't get done in the week.

So, I'll try this for a week or two and see what happens. I'm actually ok on my readings right now, with the exception of Learning, because I don't have the text yet. Everything else is still in catch-up mode, but hopefully by the time reading week stumbles around, I'll be in a space where I can knock a few of those "Reading"s off my schedule and have more room to play.

Or, you know, sleep.
