I finally started working again, since I've moved. I commute about a half an hour away, to work in Fresno at Buckle. Working there so far has been great. All the people I work with are very welcoming and the manager is very nice. I have been put on the team as a part-time employee. I've only ever had a part time job and I have managed it quite well. Keep in mind that my part time jobs have always been at tops around 20 hours a week. When my manager asked me if i wanted some more "full time weeks" thrown into my schedule every now and then I said "Yes," thinking that more hours means more money. Well I got this next weeks schedule and he gave me a full-time week. I'll be working some 8 hour shift. A lot of you might be thinking, "Yea so, not that big of a deal, I work that much everyday." My problem is that I already have one job without Buckle; my CF. So, yes, I am nervous for this up-coming week. I'm resting right now since I have two days off, but I am also praying that my body works with me this next week and doesn't get exhausted, weak, or sick. So, please, pray for strength for me and for my body. Thank you!

Full time work means resting after work, kiddo. Do your CF stuff and then relax until the morning. It's hard to do, but you'll make it through.
ReplyDeleteDo not be afraid to tell your manager you need to cut back hours. If you don't want to talk about your CF stuff, then tell him you have "family obligations" that need to be addressed and part time would work better for you. It's not a fib because your family is obligated to love you and keep you healthy. :-)
Good luck, working girl.
