More Alert Today
I'm definitely better rested today.
Well I did not make it to the gym this morning. AGAIN! So the only other option I had was to put in some work on my lunch hour. I was able to get in a hardcore 20 minutes session and shower up to be back on time. So in the end I guess it worked out after all.
My doctor confirmed I have carpal tunnel syndrome, but hopefully with Advil, splints day/night, and hand exercises I should be okay.
So with my morning workout flops...I'm not sure when I'll make it to the gym tomorrow. But I will be prepared regardless if its morning, at lunch, or in the evening.
I'm so proud of myself...I stood up and negotiated time off for coming in this weekend. I specifically requested Fridays, too! I know most people are automatically given comp time for working after hours, but where I am if you don't ask they won't give it to you, especially if you volunteer to come in. Finally, I learned I have to stand up for myself, so I stated in a matter of fact way that I would like to be compensated for this additional time that I am giving. It is impossible to do my daily work and update an outdated 5 years old procedure manual, and on top of that train the new staff. Are you kidding me??? I am not super woman, but I've tried to be for so long and finally stood up for myself. So I say, a GOLD STAR for me!
I've really got to change my field of work. But in the meantime, I'll take the comped Fridays.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thursday. Talk to you later.
