HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Well, it has been about two week into January now and I don't seem to be acting any better than last year. Right now I am having real problems getting out of bed in the mornings. I have had problems for a couple of years now, but it is getting worse. I am supposed to be at work by 8:00 but I am lucky if I make it by a quarter after. I am trying to get there by 7:30 so I can make it by 8:00 but I still can't get there. By the time I get to work I am already beating up on myself and wondering when the ball will drop and I will either be fired or demoted to part time. I am alright as long as I work 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week, but it is sooooo slooooow right now. We often don't have any orders for Mondays or Tuesdays and 3 people in the salad takeout prep area working. I help in the sandwich kitchen on Mon and Tues afternoon, because they are really busy those days. I can use vacation hours to cover the hours, that I am short, but I am in the minus hours category right now because I used hours over the Christmas break that I didn't have. There was no way I was going to come to work on days when everyone else was gone, especially since I don't have a key to the place and there was no work anyway. We are supposedly salaried according to our annual pay raises. They always refer to it as a salary but we punch the time clock and get overtime. This the first weekend without a snow storm since Nov30. I might get out and be able to actually shop for some eyeglasses and some garment bottoms, both of which I need desperately. No one has said anything about me not making hours, by the way, but I worry about it just the same. Does any body know if SV will be in the new Rexburg temple district or stay in the Idaho Falls one. Is anybody going to the open house and /or dedication? One of our workers was going to go last week, but we got a huge snowstorm on Wed. of this week and she decided to go next week. It was the biggest one this season and the first one on my weather bug that did not have a Winter or Heavy snow warning posted. It took me over 30min to drive to work, which usually takes about ten. Arrrg! How do you get into Library Ninjas blog now. Does anybody know how? Please send me the secret if you know how. I enjoy reading everyones blogs. I have to come to know whats going on in the family and oddly enough I have come to know the family as adults and who they are and not just as I remember how we were in childhood. Boy have I been out of touch! Let us all continue with this OK.

SV is in Idaho Falls district. Library Ninja may not want us to view her blog anymore or just hasn't gotten around to inviting us in. I'm sure she will let us know how to get in.

It's a sleepy grouchy time of year for me too. I am helped a bit by the tanning beds. I haven't been since Christmas and I can tell it's time to go again. I hope you get plenty of work so you can stay on an even financial keel. It's the pits to have seasonal slowdowns. It won't be long til you can get SS so hang in there. I have heard that the SS system will fail at about the year I will be applying for benefits. Yea for the congress and thanks for all your help!
