A rare night at home

I got in a little while ago, but I can't really take it easy; I have an evening of notes ahead of me, since I haven't even transferred the game's recording to the computer yet. I need to finish by Sunday morning. Since we play from about 2 pm-8:30 pm (we get together at 1 pm, but there's usually socialising and catching up on the last game's notes before we get going), that's several hours to go through. Fortunately it was all downtime. I've got some plans for Sunday's game, jotted on a sticky note in my purse, that I must remember to bring up.

But first I took a brief break to eat something and check the news, just a few minutes. I hope I don't have to stay up too late tonight, as I work at 8 am tomorrow, [then go wash dogs and read more Lumley, among other things] and then on Sunday I have to be there at 7 am to prepare for the game plus get a friend from work, so Saturday night is going to be a crunch, too. I really meant to start earlier this week, and I've actually had a little time to work on them--but I keep napping instead because I just feel tired most of the time. Maybe it's the weather change or the days getting shorter, or just working a lot, although this week that's slacked up. Or maybe it's a touch of depression. I went up on one of my meds but it'll take a few weeks to really get the full effect. Hopefully after daylight savings ends it'll be easier for me to get up in the morning, anyway.

We lost another person at the store today. I don't know the details; it was the girl who didn't show up the other day, leaving me by myself. So I may be working more next week. Plus, on the 22nd a woman who has worked for the company for 32 years is retiring, and one of the second-shifters will be going to days. That leaves the new shift leader and myself to cover evenings. Hopefully my boss can borrow some people from other stores or even better, get someone sent over from the hiring centre that isn't flaky, is honest, and doesn't mind working. How hard can that be to find? Pretty hard, apparently. It worked much better before when the managers hired their own employees.
