exhaustion is an expectation
what is so difficult to understand about a "do not disturb" sign? when one sees this on the door and then continues to try to open the door and sees that it not only is locked but the door will not open due to the deadbolt, what makes them keep trying to shove the door open?? OBVIOUSLY IT IS OCCUPIED!!! ugh- and i was trying to sleep because i have to work the 12 hour night shift tonight. oh well. exhaustion is an expectation by this point.
on the hunt
in my desperation to no longer be a road warrior- i applied for jobs online today. 17 to be specific. all around the state of florida. everything ranging from conference & sales manager to administrative assistant, from front office manager to assistant general manager. i'm just praying that one of them works out... just one. keep your fingers crossed for me.

aggravating
list of aggravating things that have happened today:
- got the schedule that says i will have 2 days off in the next 6 weeks.
- got an e-mail from my boss stating that during those 2 days off, if it is a weekday, then i have to call in to the office at 8AM to see if there is any additional work that i could be completing. (even though its not like my boss EVER helps me with ANYTHING if it is a weekend despite the fact that i still have to work)
- the next place i'm going to is dallas to work the night shift. i have one day off between now (working day shifts) and then to try to switch my body's clock so that i can stay up all night. so i get my airline ticket (for when i'm flying out to dallas) and not only am i connect through charlotte (which my brain can't even fathom) but my flight departs at 8:45AM. just what i needed to help me stay up all night- a flight in which i'm going to have to get up at 6:30AM. joy.

fed up
so i got the schedule today and it says that from 2/11/10 - 3/26/10 i will be having a grand total of 2 days off.
needless to say i am not very happy about this. in fact i am quite livid considering i just sent my boss an e-mail 2 weeks ago asking for more time off in between sites because doing back-to-backs (as we call them) are grueling and overly exhausting. she said that it wouldn't be a problem and that she would make sure i at least get 2-4 days off between sites... yeah.... and then this happens. sounds a lot like when they said you'll be getting a raise once you've been employed for a year and then once i've been employed for 10 months they say that they aren't giving out raises anymore. i'm starting not to believe a word out of corporate america's mouth.
i guess this would be a great time to be using some of my sick or vacation time. because if i don't, i'm really worried i'm going to just get super fed up one day and quit.
