I've been home for seven days, and I've worked five. Spicer Brothers is a good place to work though. It's work that doesn't require much thinking. And when the day is over, I can leave work at the store and go home.
I have a habit of worrying about everything I have to do. This happened at school often, and it has transfered over to work. At school, I would have five assignments, or big tests in two days, and I couldn't see them getting done. Or at least without extreme suffering. Eventually though, I would step back and tell myself, "No matter what, tomorrow, or next week, or the moment after the due date will come. Whether I turn in the homework or not." For some reason that always calmed me down. I still had to do the work, but the prospect of the inevitable arrival of relaxation and carefreeness made the work easier.
I have had to remind myself of that several times in the last week at work. When I get to the store in the morning, I don't leave again for eight and a half hours. That's a long time. But it's coming whether or not I work hard. So I might as well work hard. That could be a good way to live the rest of my life.
Also, the guitar player from Kutless shops at our store now.
