I was hoping for extra work at my job and it is finally materializing. I pulled a 13 hour shift at work today. So far that's about 16 extra hours total for this pay period. WooHoo for over time! I also put myself on the Thanksgiving Day schedule. Since I'm full time, I'll get a day of holiday pay plus time and a half for the hours I work that day. There was also a note posted that the company is providing a meal at noon for those employees that work. I'll try not to eat too much since I'll be fixing my own feast here at home for Marcus and dad.
I'm hoping that this kind of work keeps up and that my supervisor keeps allowing me to stay extra (preferably without putting those hours in on the weekends where I'd have to drive across town an extra day or two). Since I'm learning more every day and being able to complete lots of the odd tasks that come up, it seems that will be the case.
One thing I am going to purchase with my next paycheck is a new set of headphones. I was using mine today to drown out the girl I sit next to when mine broke. Man, they were cheap, flimsy plastic. When I tried to take them off, the cracked plastic got all stuck up and tangled in my hair. I wish I could get a nice pair of noise canceling ones, but unfortunately I still need to be able to hear when my supervisor calls out my name.
Speaking of being late at work, it's 10:30 and Marcus still isn't home yet. The hard drive in the computer of the owner's best friend and longest client took a dump today, taking all of the projects he and his wife were working on. Marcus is trying to recover as much of their data as he can. I know he hates this kind of stuff, especially when someone is running a business without an adequate backup scheme. Hopefully, he doesn't get stuck there too much longer.
OK, with that I'm off to bed. I'm exhausted.
