Work Days

Last night I went to bed at 10 and was asleep by 10:30.  This morning I woke up at 8am.  It was wonderful to feel so rested.  I feel somewhat distressed that I needed almost 10 hours of sleep to feel that way but I'm hoping it was just my being overtired.  What's even more awesome is that at 11pm, I'm feeling tired again.  One of the things I remember most about high school was being exhausted when I woke up at the crack of dawn determined to go to bed early that night only to find myself wide awake at 10pm when I knew I should be heading to bed.  So it's nice to wake up this morning feeling well rested and feel tired at night.  I feel like I'm a normal human being.

It also helped that I got home from work at 9:30pm.  Honestly, working 5pm-9pm after working during the day isn't that bad at all.  If I do end up working full time, maybe I'll opt to do that four nights a week rather than work until 11pm 3 nights a week.   Ideally, I would like to continue working 25 hours a week at this job.  I like being able to accrue time and take paid time off.  It's also good money for a second job.  My boss at the day job mentioned my staying on again or trying to convince the president of the company to keep me on.

Here's the thing though; she mentioned my quitting the second job.  Honestly, I'm not sure I want to quit the second job.  Not for the current day job anyway.  Sure, I enjoy the job but keeping the job is entirely contingent on us getting more clients. There's no guarantee that it will last more than six months and that's not something I want to give up my other job for.  In addition, I can't imagine that their benefits will be anything like what I already have.  So the only way I can keep the day job is to give up the night job, I'm not sure if I'll be able to take it.  Yes, I'm thinking ahead of myself but it is something that I can't help but think about every time she mentions my staying.  I just hope she doesn't fight to keep me only to have me turn it down.

Oh well, not going to think about that any more now.  I can't do anything about it at this point and I just need to wait and see what will happen.
