All work and no play

Makes Nora very cranky. I'm very annoyed for two reasons: 1.) Because I have a part-time job and I agreed to work on Thanksgiving; and 2.) They just reduced my hours on said holiday, making it hardly worth the time and frustration of giving up a turkey dinner with my neighbors downstairs. (And 3.) WHO THE HELL IS OUT SHOPPING ON THANKSGIVING? Aren't the 5am door-busters on Black Friday and 24-hour Wal-Marts enough for promoting commercialism? Then again, I don't own my own business. But I digress.)

I was reminded last night that I need to be careful what I ask for, if it's not REALLY what I want, and also to make an attitude adjustment. It's the only way I'll make it through the next 6 weeks. I wanted a part-time job! I should be grateful I have one! What it really comes down to is that I'm not happy I need a part-time job. I need one job that's more fulfilling and lucrative than the one (two) I've got. But it was a good reminder to say "Thanks" every day for something.

I have a whole new respect for working moms, and anyone really, who works more than one job.

And I just told them I am NOT working on Christmas day.
