Week 32

Life, in the form of work, seemed to keep getting in the way of writing this week. Perhaps it's time to push my update day back a few days as Mondays no longer seem that viable anymore. Anyways, where's this week's update:

I did end up seeing Spiderman last Wednesday. A friend decided to come along at the last minute which was nice. It was a pretty good movie, for a reboot. Fans of the Spiderman comics may enjoy the subtlety between the reboot and the original movie but the un-initiated may find it to be largely the same movie with a different bad guy.

Thursday I lounged around in the morning before heading into a busy shift in the evening. I got the offer to work an early Friday shift and pounced on it.

Friday's unexpectedly early shift was an easy shift too. Although it was nice to get work out of the way early in the day, I had no major plans for the evening. 

Saturday was the last day of kids classes before summer vacation (and the last day of work for a lot of other teachers.) It was a pretty hectic day too and I came home and crashed out afterwords. Unfortunately I napped through the start of the fireworks show I was planning on going to. Oh well, I've missed that show the last three years too. I'll have to try again next summer.

Sunday's morning web shift wasn't too busy, which was nice. Even better, one of my colleagues was on the same wavelength I was and proposed Sushi for dinner and and evening of gaming. A second co-worker joined us and the three of us had a good time.

Monday was the first of my "three" days of overtime before my vacation started. The morning web shift was earlier than usual for me but allowed me time to relax in the evening and think about what to do on my Tuesday off. Just as I was starting to get some ideas I got a call from work asking me to do one more day of overtime… on Tuesday. The combination of extra money and my personal inability to say "no" to my employer meant I was in for another six hours of work before I could truly relax for the summer.

On the bright side, Tuesday's shift was a night shift which meant I had the morning to run some errands (and forget to write this post.) After  nice lunch at Burger King I dragged myself back into work for  long, full, night of classes.

I got off work Tuesday at 11:05 and had to be back in the office by 10:05 the next morning which meant I barely had time to get home and fall into bed before I had to be up and getting ready for work. to blow off steam after work on Wednesday I went over to a friends house and we went out to dinner together.

This morning I have to go into work one last time before I'm free for the summer. All this overtime seemed like a good idea last onto when I signed up for it. I'm sure it'll seem nice next pay-day too but at the moment I really don't want to go into the office for the eighth day in a row. Of course the "Mr. Brightside" in me knows that a friend who just moved is having a house-warming party after work which should be fun. That and summer vacation is a mere six hours of work away.

This weekend is looking to be pretty "boring" as I plan to relax and save the last of my pennies from this paycheck to add to the pay-day on Monday and go to Gifu for a real vacation next week!
