New Year, New Post

2015 was an alright year for me.


2016 has thus far been interesting.


I went to visit family over New Year's and came back Sunday. Just as I was trying to leave, I couldn't start my car due to a dead battery. It got replaced and I left later than intended which led to getting home and to bed way later than needed, which is hard due to highly early mornings.


Got to work this morning and all of the temps- there's six- got called into a meeting with our supervisor. Turns out, January is a slow month. But, instead of having to let people go, he worked with his supervisors to let us stay on a reduced schedule. He divided us into two groups of three each and each group works a 20 hour week. I get the Monday-Wednesday group which I like.


There is good and bad to this of course. I don't get as many hours, so my paycheck is low. However, I still have a job and in February we're supposed to go back to 40 hour weeks. This also gives me extra time to work on my internship. I've been wanting to get ahead and get as close to 90-100 hours before faire workshops start and that's over 40 hours to go. So, I'll be putting in a few more hours for the time being on certain days. And I'll still have some days of downtime to get other things done and Netflix it up. I'm trying to get through a few shows.


I know money will be tight for a bit. But, I'm still getting a paycheck and that's pretty nifty. And I'll be getting a little bit closer to finishing my internship. It will still be awhile before taking my tests- it's $200 for just the licensing one- but that's okay too.


I'm just happy things are trucking on along. I might stress out. But, I'm now where I can sleep some, get other things done, and have some down time. It's all good.
