Why are there only two stories on Archive of our Own that have Pepper Potts and Donna Moss tagged in them? There is something wrong with the universe.

*Hi* I'm still alive, I've had a job the past two years that was meant to be 42 hours a week but has mostly worked out to 55/60 hours a week. Next week I start as Assistant Manager at a charity shop and my hours go down to 28 a week. I'm hoping I might actually be able to scrape together a few hours a weeks for things like fandom and crochet. We shall see...

Sorry you have been working so much. It can be easy to burn out.

I think I burnt out back in Janurary when my boss quit and we got the most incompetent relief manager imaginable. I've been hanging on in there in the hope it would get better with a new permanent Manager, but all that happened is we got a inexperienced Manager who continually blamed everything on being new and was happy to let me do his job. (He went AWOL a week and a half ago, and handed in his notice this week with no intention to come back to work but as of my last shift last night IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM!!)

Hello! Lovely to have you back, hope you'll be able to stick around!

Gosh that sounds a horrible amount of hours :(


(for once this icon is appropriate!)

Although sadly we didn't get overtime, we were meant to get time in lieu, which then had to be taken within a month of being accrued. *Insert sound of hollow laughter here*

And what made it worst was that it was nearly all split shifts, I HATE split shifts.

Hi!

Hallooooooo!

[azurelunatic]

That's a whole load of hours! Hooray for impending 28-hour weeks.

[thedivinegoat]

Oh it was. I'm not going to know what to do with myself. :-)

Alive is good. And while work is good, work in moderation is much, much better. Welcome back!
