MacBros’ Place |

Thoughts were running through my head all night last night about looking for a new job.

I got to thinking about this as my arm was getting more and more sore from the constant lifting and twisting while the pain was getting very intense. The job will not change when working in the position that I’m in now and all that means it will still involve the same repetitious movements that are causing the pain in the first place.

The Tennis Elbow wont go away if I’m constantly doing the same thing that is the cause of it in the first place.

On Monday, I’m going to go get fitted for an arm brace which was prescribed by the Doctor last Monday, and I’ll see if that helps, but I’m told by co-workers that it more than likely will not.

So I was constantly thinking about looking for work with the various Design companies here in town. While I’m at the restaurant I will build up a portfolio, which in itself will be hard to do because the hours that I keep getting are fucked up and it’s hard to have any personal time.

I caught a glimpse of the next schedule, and I did NOT like what I saw either. Especially after I told them that I didn’t want to work more than 40 hours a week, it looks like they have me down for about 50 hours. a week.

I don’t want more than 40 because I don’t want to end up in the same boat as I was when my Doctor told me I had to quit the job last time. For some reason I just can’t get this through their head. It’s almost like they’re not hearing me.

I really enjoy working there, and it not like I hate the job or anything. The fact of the matter is, I’m not physically able to do the crazy hours they want. I don’t have the stamina to go for 10 - 12 hours full out all the time. It’s a busy restaurant, and it never sleeps, and I feel they expect the same of me.

So I’ll stay there for as long as it takes me to get work in a field that I’m really good at. After designing that Advertisement flier for the restaurant, I realized that I should really be doing that instead. I would really enjoy doing a job like that too. I’ll be scouring the phone book over the next few days to get the addresses of all the design companies here in town and then making up a shit load of resumes, and hopefully I’ll have a portfolio done up for them too.

Fortunately leaving a job this time won’t be because I hated it with all my heart, it will be because I can’t do it physically because of my fucked up arms and I hope that the parting will be on good terms. I’ll still be there for awhile yet though, and who knows, the arm braces might help.

Well aside from that , I watched a couple of movies over the past few weeks and just finished a review on Harry Potters Latest. It was a good movie BTW. I have also been trying to complete a few other personal projects that I have had a hell of a time trying to complete because of the fucked up schedules I have at work.

There are a whole bunch of posts I have in Draft Mode that need finishing too.

So many things to do, and so little time.
