Freakin Phone!

06.10.05 (7:33 am)   [edit]
Now that I am off for the summer (as if having 3 jobs is considered OFF)  my inner clock has been tilted.  I have been staying up later and later because I have more and more work.  This week I have not seen the inside of my eye lids before 2 am.  4 - 5 hours sleep is doable for me.  I can maintain this schedule for about a week, then I have to throw in one 6 hour night to rejuvinate the battery.  Last night I had a banquet to attend after my "evening" job and my daughter found a very young stray kitten out side the hall we attended the banquet at.  After a late night trip to Wally World for kitty supplies, I put in a few hours of home desk work.  Last glance at the clock was 3:53am.  I had no pending urgent events this morning so I had hoped to not see the dark side of 9 am for a change.

My freakin phone rings at 7:45 A M !! What kind of lamebrain calls a night working person before 8 am??  AND the purpose of this call did little to soothe my annoyance.  The purpose of the call was to re-direct a task that in 2 weeks of doing this silly school district job, has NOT been on my task list.  Seems the guys who run the Sports camp at the school decided to toss their garbage just outside the classroom door, instead of taking it to the dumpster.  A couple happy raccoons spent the night ripping open the bags and feasting on left over pizza crust and sweet juice boxes.  When I asked them about the trash on day one, I was told "don't worry about it, I will get the guys to do it"  Fine by me.  But now there is a mess, and of course the finger is pointed at ME!!

I sooooooooo want to quit this job.  It is terribly inconvenient to get to everyday.  20 miles one way.  I had to take a cut in pay from my drivers salary, which seems just WRONG.  But the wage is still better then I could get at a temporary summer job.  The mosquitos are taking blood donations nightly. It is hot hot hot, and when I leave I feel and smell like I have been sitting in a sauna for 4 hours fully dressed.  I am so sweaty and icky that I HAVE to come home and shower before being in public to save the world from the wrath of me. So I can't even do my errands post work. I would quit in a heartbeat if we could make it thru the summer without the miniscule paycheck.  But this year we just can't.  Factor in I am bored senseless...and you can imagine my annoyance at the entire situation.

6 more weeks and I get a week off before I go back to my regular job.  Woohoo  lucky me!!
