Scheduling Conflicts (or Maybe I Should Stop Planning)

I’ve talked about my crazy work schedule for my day job in the past. It used to be Monday-Saturday with Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays being late shifts. Then it switched to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays being late.

Now it’s changed completely again.

My office (which is the telesales office) needs to be support for the box office while the show going on now finishes its run. The box office is overwhelmed, and we are going to help clear the backlog.

Which means that we are supposed to be at work whenever there is a show. For the show running now, there are shows on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings along with matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

So for now, I’m working Tuesday-Friday until 8:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday until 5:00pm. I do have Mondays off which is nice (and when I have gone to spin class), but working every evening is going to be tough.

There isn’t a lot of time to see friends or do other things. And yes, I’m aware that I do have my mornings free, but I’m spending that time catching up on everything I need to do at my house (like cook and clean).

This new crazy schedule is only supposed to be for a couple of weeks, but I had things planned on Friday and Saturday evenings that now I’ve had to cancel.

And I’m scared to plan anything because I have no idea what the next schedule change is going to be.

I’m probably more frustrated than I should be about this because I was expecting to be unemployed right now. I had plans to do some fun things. I have family coming to visit me in a month and now I had to ask for 3 days off of work for that (I got the ok because my boss understands that we all planned for unemployment). I wanted to maybe go to Lake Tahoe and see my parents and dog.

And now, that just isn’t a reality.

I’m trying to be grateful that I do have a job, but I’m just getting annoyed that whenever I try to plan out things, my job has switched things on me. Maybe after this show ends things will be back to normal, but I just can’t count on that.

I don’t know how to plan out food, exercise, and just life in general when things are just this crazy at my day job. And I don’t want to find a new day job since this boss is totally cool with me going to auditions and I actually like most of my co-workers.

Sorry for this rant, I just had to get it out.
