My mom said I should start keeping track of the days that I am not in the back because other people are out. How many hours I miss because other people have left early for things such as softball games, babysitting and so on. Maybe then, when I show the reason why I am not “processing” books as much as I should someone in particular will see why. In the past month I have taken two days off sick with my stomach. Both days I felt horrible and one of the days before I was given the riot act about how I had to suck it up and get used to it. Take a pain pill, girl. I stuck it out that day and in return had a wonderful day of bed rest the next day because I kept pulling at myself to go. Yes…I did in fact take three hours of personal time on Thursday. I had furniture to move into my house. I am tired, though of hearing how “something” has to be done about my processing. I may need to start giving her a list of books I process everyday. I’m not getting enough done. Do you think hurt backs, seizures, babysitting, hurt hits, upset stomachs, colds, husbands in the hospital, part time who never comes in, doing storytime and summer reading program every once in awhile and basically RELIEVING other people could be part of the problem? Am I not allowed to take a few hours off or sick days like everyone else? No…it seems I have too much work to do because everyone else has been out.
Fuck this.
I don’t care anymore…to tell you the truth I stopped caring about much a while ago.
If no one listens to me that is his or her problem.
I could care less. I know the outcome of it all, I always have.
I think keeping a log is a good idea. You should write down what you do each hour and then at the end of a week or month hand it in and say "this is what I have been doing, now get off my back."
