An Unexpected Day Off (or Enjoying Some Free Time)

Posted on March 7, 2023 | Comments Off on An Unexpected Day Off (or Enjoying Some Free Time)

I’ve been pretty lucky with my day job situation for quite a bit of time. Things haven’t always been perfect, but they have been better than what many of my friends have dealt with. Even losing my job during the beginning of the pandemic isn’t the worst thing since so many of my friends who kept their jobs had to be around people. That wouldn’t have been my situation, but losing my job at that time led me to the job that I’m doing full-time now. And when that job came back and things started to get better, they worked with me so I could work limited hours and make it work with my new job. And I do feel like my efforts and contributions are appreciated at both my jobs.

I have a few more positive things to say about my main job, but that’s mainly because I have benefits that my part-time job doesn’t have. I get paid holidays, which is something that a lot of jobs don’t provide. And while I don’t have health insurance, I do get extra money once a month to help with the cost of insurance. It doesn’t cover it in full, but it’s significantly better than getting no help at all. And I think because of the type of work I do at my full-time job, I get a lot more feedback and feel a bit more important to keep the company going.

And I know that job appreciates us too from a lot of things that they have done for us. The most recent thing we got was an extra day off last week for employee appreciation day. I didn’t know I had this day off until the week before when some of my meetings were getting moved around. Because it was on a Friday, I still had to work my part-time job, but it gave me a lot of extra free time that I wasn’t expecting and I took advantage of that.

I did allow myself to sleep in a bit, but since I get up so early almost every day, sleeping in isn’t really that late. I think I was still up before 7am. But it was nice to not have to rush to get out of bed to get to my workout or to log in for work. So I enjoyed the morning and took my time getting things done. But I couldn’t be too lazy because I had an appointment that morning.

As soon as I found out about having the day off, I messaged my friend about getting my hair done. I was going to message her soon anyway, but I figured I’d have to go one day after work in the evening. But since I had the day off, I asked if she had any appointments that would work around my other job and she had something in the morning so it was perfect! It was nice not going in after being tired from working and other things going on and just getting to relax while getting my hair back to how I like it to look.

I did have to work for 2 hours in the afternoon for my other job, but I was much more relaxed working than normal since I wasn’t doubled up for my work and I didn’t have any stress from my main job affecting me. And I was done with work by 3pm so I had a lot of free time in the afternoon.

I didn’t do much else with my day, just spent time reading and then watching a bit of tv before going to bed. I also received a very nice card and generous gift card from my main job, so I did do some exploring online to figure out what I want to use the gift card on. I haven’t decided yet, but I’m sure I’ll find something cool.

It really was a nice and chill day off that I didn’t plan on having. I did get a few things done that I needed to do, but it was just nice feeling like I had the ability to relax a bit more during my day. Normally, I feel pretty rushed from 5 in the morning until about 6 in the evening. And even though I had a day off the week before, I will always appreciate any paid time off that I can have.

A Working Memorial Day (or Just Having A Regular Monday)

Posted on June 2, 2021 | Comments Off on A Working Memorial Day (or Just Having A Regular Monday)

Last year, for Memorial Day, I had a virtual hangout with my friends. That was one of the first big virtual hangouts I had with my friends last year and I remember us thinking that we would hopefully be together by Halloween last year. It was also one of the first big traditions that I missed having since I usually am spending the day with my friends and enjoying a fun BBQ. But last year, we all understood why we couldn’t be together and I am still grateful that everyone in my friend group has been able to stay safe.

This year, I know some people were able to get together and the guidelines do say that vaccinated people can be together. But my friends and I have all been very cautious about things and I knew that we weren’t going to have a hangout this year. But that was ok with me since I had to work on what is a day off for so many people.

When I was only working my box office job, having Mondays off was a normal way of life. I never worked on Mondays so having a holiday on a Monday just felt normal to me. But now, I do work my other customer service job Monday-Friday (between all my jobs, I’m working Monday-Saturday with occasional Sundays). So having a Monday holiday would usually mean a day off. But at my customer service job, we also rotate who does holiday coverage.

Working on a holiday does mean extra pay, so that’s nice. And it’s only one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. And I didn’t have to stress too much about getting all the work done because holiday work means that you look for the most urgent issues. There would likely be a lot of customers that I could wait to do until we reopened on Tuesday, but I also had the option to do some of the other work if I had the time. This was my first time doing the holiday work, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

And I’m glad that I did it because I was able to get a lot of work done that I would not necessarily have had time to do on Tuesday. I did have some slightly urgent client issues that I immediately handled first when I logged in for the morning, but I was able to do other work to fill the rest of that hour. Then I had several hours where I could relax if I wanted to. And I spent that time getting a few things done around my house and reading before I had to log in for the evening. And somehow, I managed to almost complete all the work before I had to log out. I know that saved me at least 2 hours on Tuesday, and when I was working on Tuesday I had a lot more work to get done. So I never would have completed everything from the weekend in a single day. It was nice to have a day to get myself caught up and ready for the week.

And honestly, it was fine working on a holiday. Maybe I would have been a bit more upset if there was going to be an in-person hangout and I was going to miss my first chance to see my friends in person in over a year. And if there had been something planned, I’m sure I would have been able to figure something out so I didn’t miss out on it completely. But I’m glad that I didn’t have to add that stress into my day. And even though I had a working holiday day off, I was still able to relax a bit and enjoy my free time.

Not My Typically 4th Of July (or Taking Advantage Of A Day Off)

Posted on July 9, 2019 | 1 comment

For the past several years, I’ve gone to the same 4th of July party that my friends throw. I usually make drunk fruit, have a lot of fun with my friends, spend the day just hanging out, and watching some fireworks. I love having a casual 4th of July celebration and don’t feel like I need to have some crazy adventure that day, especially when it’s in the middle of the week so I have to work early the next day.

This year, my friends didn’t have a party. They have a puppy that is still young and timid and they didn’t know how she would react to the fireworks. I completely understand this and I think everyone wanted them to be able to stay home and keep a close watch on their dog since so many dogs freak out and run off because of the noise. While I did miss having the party that I love going to each year, I’m glad they were able to keep their puppy safe. I think everyone felt the same way.

But since I didn’t have my usual party to go to, I had to figure out what else I wanted to do that day. I wasn’t feeling too motivated to make plans and a lot of my friends felt the same way. We talked about maybe trying to figure out a way to watch fireworks somewhere, but nothing was really planned and we all said we’d check in the day of to see what we felt like doing.

The morning of the 4th I tried to take advantage of having a day off and sleep in. But because I am so used to my sleep schedule I wasn’t able to sleep in too much. I think I maybe slept 20 minutes later than normal, but I did stay in bed much longer and had a lazy morning reading and relaxing. Then I decided to take advantage of having nothing to do all day and work on a big cleaning of my house.

I was in the middle of cleaning my bathroom when suddenly the room felt like it was spinning. I have a history of vertigo and just thought I was having an episode. I thought maybe the smells from the cleaning supplies triggered it or I was dealing with low blood sugar. Then I noticed the things hanging on hooks in my bathroom were swaying back and forth and realized we were having an earthquake! I sat down on the edge of my bathtub to wait for it to stop since I didn’t want to run through my house to get under a table while things might be falling. It was a very large earthquake, but far from my house so it wasn’t too strong where I live. But it was still a scary moment since we never know when an earthquake will start easy and then get bigger. We actually had a larger earthquake on the 5th which made me worry too.

After the earthquake, I had to do a little unexpected cleaning because a few things did fall over. My DVD collection tipped over so I had to reorganize that (and it made me start to think about getting rid of the DVDs) but that was the only issue after the earthquake. So once I cleaned that up I went back to my regular cleaning like vacuuming and mopping. I know, I’m so interesting and fun spending my day off and a holiday cleaning.

Once the cleaning was done, I decided to see if any of my friends ended up making a plan to do anything that night. We were all in the same mindset with not feeling motivated to go out and do something. I don’t know if it was because of the earthquake, the weird weather we’ve been having, or we all were just tired. But nobody (including myself) really felt like trying to make a plan just to see fireworks. I’m glad we were all in agreement so nobody felt like they had to do something and we all just spent the evening on our own.

I did some more reading and watched a bunch of random tv. I tried to get to bed at a reasonable time since I had an early morning the next day but I still ended up going to sleep a bit later than I would have wanted to. Plus, there were illegal fireworks going off in my neighborhood throughout the night keeping me awake. There were so many illegal fireworks that I doubt the police could really enforce the law. It was annoying, especially when they were still shooting them off after midnight. I think it ended around 1:30 am when I finally got to sleep.

I’m sure that I could have gone out and had a fun 4th of July, but I had a perfectly fine day off at home doing boring things. I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything even though I do love getting to see my friends at parties. I am in a place in my life where I can be happy being a bit of a hermit and doing what is the responsible thing to do over the fun thing to do. Plus, I did get a lot of stuff done around my house that I needed to do and I didn’t have to worry about it over the weekend, so that was a win for me. But maybe next year, the party I usually go to will happen and then I’ll have easy plans that don’t require me to do much organizing and planning to take advantage of them.

A Free Weekday (or Planning Ahead For Fun Things)

Posted on January 21, 2014 | Comments Off on A Free Weekday (or Planning Ahead For Fun Things)

While I was out sick last week from work, I missed some schedule changes that were made. So when I returned on Friday, I learned that we were going to have Monday off because of the MLK Holiday. I still ended up working on Sunday so it didn’t feel like an extra day off, but it was a pleasant surprise.

A lot of times with these extra days off I try to plan some sort of adventure. But since I’m still in recovery mode from this cold, I tried to take it easy but have a fun time as well.

I went out to lunch with my friend Kate. She’s currently job hunting so I wanted to catch up on that with her. And I had my usual randomness to catch her up on. Since I will be unemployed soon, we are trying to figure out some fun outings to go on when we both are out of work. One thing that is definitely on our list is to go to California Adventure at Disneyland. Kate has never been in that part of Disneyland before and I told her that she has to do it (she agrees with me).

After a nice lunch, I continued on my adventures by doing a little shopping for a trip that I have in a few months. My sister-in-law, Krystle, and I are going to New York for a few days in March. I don’t really need too much stuff for that trip, but there is a new Nordstrom’s Rack I wanted to check out and shopping for that trip was a good excuse.

I’m still not in “standard” sized clothes, so shopping is still pretty tough. And the plus size clothes options are pretty pathetic. But I did managed to find a 100% cashmere sweater that was only $40. So I got that. And I’m still on the lookout for a trench coat for my trip. I don’t really own any rain coats or nice jackets and I’m pretty sure that I will need that for my trip. It might not be as cold in March as it is right now in New York, but it will probably be colder than it is right now in LA (where it’s been 75 degrees and sunny every day).

Shopping for the trip is really getting me excited about it. Krystle and I really need to get on top of doing some planning. We have our flights and hotel booked, but that’s it so far. But I’m looking forward to doing whatever we end up doing because I haven’t been to New York since the summer I turned 17.

After my shopping (where it seemed everyone was shopping because it took me almost an hour to pay), I headed back home to do what I usually do on Sundays to prepare for a full work week (grocery shop, clean, do laundry). I’m starting to feel almost back to normal again and I feel like taking the time yesterday to have some fun has really gotten me ready to be back at work for a full week.

Game Show Time (or Hoping To Make A Deal)

Posted on September 26, 2013 | 1 comment

On Tuesday, a friend of mine posted that they needed some more girls to be in the audience for the game show “Let’s Make A Deal” on Wednesday. I didn’t have anything else to do, so I decided to try it out!

First though, a little game show background about me. I’ve appeared on two games shows. The first was called “On The Cover” in 2003 or 2004. I don’t think the show ever aired, and I don’t mind. I was horrible on it. I think I only answered one question correctly. Then in 2006 or 2007 I was on a show called “Camouflage”. I think I got second place on that show. And over the years, I’ve also worked for game show run-throughs (when they are practicing the show before they bring in real contestants). So I’m pretty educated when it comes to game shows.

Anyway, so yesterday I headed over to the studio for “Let’s Make A Deal” in the morning. I had to be there by 11am, but I got there around 10:30am and decided to line up. If you aren’t too familiar with the show, one of the things about it is that all of the audience wears costumes.

I went as Cupid.

IMG_2100

I thought I looked pretty cute.

We all also had to wear nametags. We had to go by our legal names, so for the first time in forever, I was called Jennie instead of Jen.

IMG_2101

We had to turn in our phones so I have no photos from inside the taping. I can tell you that I was not chosen for anything, so don’t worry about trying to watch the episode I was on. But I did have a lot of fun and was told that I could come back and hope to get on another show (I think I might just do that).

Overall, this was a really fun and exciting way to spend a day that I would have probably spent reading and being on my computer. Hopefully if I go back another time I will have a much more interesting story to tell!

Rain In July (or Sometimes Things Just Don’t Go How You Planned Them To)

Posted on July 12, 2013 | Comments Off on Rain In July (or Sometimes Things Just Don’t Go How You Planned Them To)

After the amazing beach day on Saturday, I knew I had to get to the beach more this summer. And yesterday, I happened to have the day off (I had somewhere I had to be during most of my shift), so I figured why not go to the beach?

The morning was a bit gray, but that’s pretty typical for summers here. But when I went outside to get something from my car, I realized that it had been raining all night and it was still drizzling! I don’t ever remember it raining in LA in July since I moved here!

Still, I figured it couldn’t be as bad at the beach. So I picked up a friend, and we headed up the coast to the same beach as last time. The whole drive it was pretty gray and drizzly, but we convinced ourselves that it was looking a bit clearer up ahead.

We finally arrived at the beach, and it looked like this.

DSCN0245

While it’s still nice to be at the ocean, it was windy and cold. We tried to wait it out a bit in the car, but it never seemed to look like it was getting better.

After waiting it out about 20 minutes, we decided to cancel the beach day. There’s no reason to be miserable and cold. And there will be plenty of other chances to go to the beach (probably not on a weekday, but that’s ok).

It did kind of suck to drive all the way out there and just turn around, but I wanted to take the chance that maybe the weather was a bit better there.

Oh well. I ended up going home and doing some reading that I’ve been excited about (I recently downloaded several of the book series recommended on this list to my e-reader).

While I didn’t get to enjoy the beach and sunshine, I did have a nice quiet day off. Which is good because this weekend I have a lot going on! I’ll be writing about it next week on here, so be on the lookout for those posts!

Happy 4th Of July (or Feeling Like A Lady Of Leisure)

Posted on July 4, 2013 | Comments Off on Happy 4th Of July (or Feeling Like A Lady Of Leisure)

Happy 4th of July readers!

I know a lot of my friends are working today (hazards of working day jobs that are convenient for leaving for auditions), but I’m lucky enough to get today off. It’s not really a great day to try to make sales over the phone.

Normally on my days off, I’m pretty heavily scheduled. I have a lot to get done and only one day to do them. But since this is a bonus day off, I’m planning on enjoying it.

As of right now, all I have planned is to go to CBS Radford in Studio City to see the fireworks. I’m also planning on going to spin class, but I haven’t reserved my bike for one yet (still figuring out when I want to go).

It’s nice to have the day off (and I’m trying to keep in mind the reason we are so lucky to have a day like today). And somehow now, I’m able to appreciate the time off much more than I was when I was unemployed. Maybe I’m more grateful for something that I don’t get to do as often?

This is going to be a short post today because I hope you all get to go out and do something fun today (like see some fireworks!). Besides working out and seeing fireworks today, I’m not planning anything else. I’m going to enjoy my time and perhaps watch some bad tv. That sounds like the perfect day off to me!

2 Steps Forward 1 Step Back (or Going With The Flow)

Posted on June 5, 2013 | Comments Off on 2 Steps Forward 1 Step Back (or Going With The Flow)

Again, I can never depend on life just going the way it should be.

I was starting to get used to my work schedule again, then I get sick. Everyone in my office was passing around this bug and I was the 5th person to get it. Fortunately, I have a very understanding boss who let me take a day off when I had a fever. Yesterday when I got up, my temperature was 102. It finally went below 100 at bedtime.

And I finally was getting into a nice groove with my workouts. I absolutely love spinning. I just did 5K #4 (and signed up for 5K #5 for later this month). And when I went to wash my sports bra this weekend after the 5K, it died a nice gruesome death in the washing machine. What happened was the metal fasteners from the back got trapped in the machine. It got totally shredded most likely during the spin cycle (enter spin cycle/SoulCycle spin class pun here). This was my only sports bra. It’s incredibly tough to find one that works for me and comes in my size.

After these two things happened pretty much back to back, I wanted to have a meltdown. I did have a minor freakout, but in the privacy of my house. And I had to fix both problems quickly.

Obviously, getting over a sickness is not something that you can completely control. But I’m drinking a ton of water to flush this out of my system, and I’m focusing on getting plenty of sleep. And while I was home being sick, I went online and found a sports bra that I liked online. It’s from Lane Bryant, and they fit their sports bras like their regular bras (which I wear), so I’m hoping it will fit me. I thought about waiting until I had time to go to the store to try it on, but if I do that, it will be far too easy to put off for forever. According to my online order, I should have my new sports bras (I ordered 2 so I wouldn’t have this problem again) by the end of this week/beginning of next week.

Even though it might not sound like it from this post, but I’m getting better at dealing with unexpected issues. In the past, I would have seen the ripped sports bra as an excuse to not keep working out or to bail on my next 5K. Now I just see it as a minor set back that was easily fixed by doing some quick shopping online. Even though this may sound like baby steps, they are at least baby steps going in the right direction.

Relearning Old Habits (or Seriously, This Again?!?)

Posted on May 8, 2013 | Comments Off on Relearning Old Habits (or Seriously, This Again?!?)

I’ve been back at my day job for a few weeks. But most of the weeks haven’t been typical ones. I was in San Francisco 2 weekends ago which involved me missing 2 days of work. The week prior to that I worked a weird shift on Thursday to work late, a split shift on Friday, and a partial shift on Saturday. And this week I’m taking Saturday off to do another 5k.

All of this has made it tough for me to get back on track with scheduling. I know, I know; I’m always complaining about scheduling. But when you go from working 6 days a week to working no days a week to working 6 days a week again it’s weird.

I’m trying to stay on top of my time off and not waste it. When I was unemployed, if I didn’t get an errand done one day, I could do it the next. That’s not really possible now. If I don’t get it done on Sunday, it’s likely that Friday will be my next chance.

So I’m making sure that I’m writing up lists for my time off. This was the one I used on Sunday.

IMG_1789

It wasn’t everything that I need to do, but a good portion of it. And as I did my errands, when I thought of something new, I added it to the list.

I’m proud to say that at the end of the day on Sunday, my list had 13 items and I got 12 done (I didn’t get a new alarm clock, but that’s a story for another post).

I did, however, forget to include cleaning my house on the list, and sadly that didn’t get done. So my house is a little messier than I’d like, but I’m trying to do little bits of cleaning before and after work.

I’m glad that my list-making has been helping me, because it can feel a bit overwhelming trying to get everything done in a day. But when it’s written out, somehow it doesn’t seem as daunting.

Next, I need to work on scheduling my mornings better. When I don’t start work until noon, I have some time in the mornings to get things done. I don’t like doing errands then because I feel rushed, but I can do a lot more in my house those days than I’m doing now.

Changes (or I’m Sorry If You Had Trouble Finding The Blog)

Posted on February 18, 2013 | 1 comment

This past weekend, I spent quite a bit of time working on this blog.

I know you might not see it, but I took a huge step. I went from being hosted on WordPress to being self-hosted (technically hosted by BlueHost).

I know not everything is exactly what it used to be, and I’m working on getting all you email subscribers subscribed on here without you having to do anything, but over the next few days hopefully this blog will look just like my old one!

I have to give a huge thank you to Brian Janes who sat with with while I worked on the transfer and answered my million dumb questions.

But the main thing for all you readers to know is now when you want to come to my blog, all you have to type is www.findingmyinnerbombshell.com (I’m working on getting the old WordPress site to transfer, but it seems a little glitchy at times).

I’m really excited for this change. Mainly because I can start customizing things on here a lot more than I could before. As soon as the music video I was in is released, I can hopefully imbed it in here so you won’t have to click on a link.

Sorry for the short post today. I spent so much time sitting at my computer that I need a bit of a break today. I have an unexpected day off from work (which I wasn’t happy about because I could use the money), so I’m hoping to go on some sort of adventure outdoors.

I might just end up at the beach and read in the sand for a while. Something fun to help me recharge my batteries and get ready to kick some butt in the next few days!
