The Final Stretch
Dec. 20th, 2013 05:41 amI found a job with Amazon that has, thankfully for my financial situation, not had any shortage of work. My previous temp job had several week with no work, and quite a few with only 2, 1 or even just half a day of work all week ... but not Amazon. The past several week have been in excess of 50 hours, and this week will probably wind up with almost 60. Going from virtually no work to this is certainly warisome.
I now have some money, but no real time to enjoy it. I'm worried and still uncertain if I'll be able to attend an annual gathering of friends this New Year's, which will also tragically mark the first anniversary of a deadly crash some of those friends had trying to make it to last year's gathering.
I am tired and noticeably cranky. Amazon has the typical trope of 'here are the rules, never break them, unless you are in a rush and then you'll get demerits for not breaking them' that drives me nuts and contributes a great deal to my chronic unemployment as I just can't reconcile it.
