The harder I try to get here to do anything, the more I'm pushed away.
I haven't left much of an away message, except for apologies, because I expected to have this all straightened out before now.
But I just keep getting buried deeper.
This week (starting today... Monday and all that) is much worse than any I've had to put up with until this point.
They gave me more than a full time schedule, I will have over time before I have a day off this week.
I told them on hiring in, that I needed only 4 days a week because of my back problems, but other people's emergencies has pushed things.
I either kill myself working all these hours I don't want, or I quit.
Right now, those are my options.
After spending a year and a half unemployed because of low employment rates in this state, I'm a bit leery of losing this job.
I do plan to look for another waitress job, because let's face it, the turn over for this kind of job is high, if my job can continue to fire people for no reason at all, because they have hundreds of applicants standing in line, other restaurants should be hiring with revolving doors as well.
BUT I don't have the time to eat, let alone start a brand new job search. So I'm kind of stuck right now.
Physically, I can't handle the job. My back is at it's all time worst, and I have nothing at all to help with the pain.
When I saw my new schedule lastnight, I left the owner multiple messages of "I can't do this, you're going to put me in the hospital so I can't work for you at all." And I never got a call back.
So... this is my 'away'.
I really have no clue when things are going to straighten out so that I can be back.
The harder I try, the more I push to try and write when I am home, the worse my writer's block gets.
I am sorry.
Really sorry.
I miss you guys so much.
