Tired

June 13th, 2018

Quite a few good things are happening. An experiment I’m working on has shown results, my credit score is getting higher and I was invited to join an IT fraternity because of my GPA. Also got a new credit card so I can play my ‘game of credit’ routine to enhance my credit score even further.

The problem is I’m just too damn tired to write it down right now. 9-10 hour shifts, six days a week, getting home, on average around 2:30am every night. Plus hammering out schoolwork. Most days, I just have enough to push out classwork.

At the same time, I have a bunch of things I wanted to document here. Especially about that frat thing. I have to fill out an application. What’s on the application? Listing organizations I’m part of. What did I tell you months ago that I KNEW would be important to be part of but I failed to join anything because I hate people? Organizations.

Anyway, this segues into the stuff I’m too tired to chat about that I’ve been experimenting with: nootropics. Not quite Adderall. Not quite gingko biloba.

Just too damn tired right now. Another day. This doesn’t reflect on my use of any nootropics, though. The stuff I’m taking (

Coluracetam) doesn’t necessarily enhance energy. For now, let’s call it a ‘mood lightener’ and surprisingly works. I’ve scouted around and found out about other things I can take with it (called stacking) that would also enhance the energy levels.

Not sure I want more energy to sweep fucking floors. But I’m getting around 490-550 a week. I shan’t bitch no more.

Department Manager

Man, am I exhausted.

Today is September 26th 2017.

For the past two days, I’ve been getting to work earlier than my shift scheduled. Usually about 3:30am or 4am. My shift is scheduled 6:00am to 3pm.

Why? Because they finally allowed me to actually start working my department, this close to the forthcoming holiday season and a store-wide inventory approaching on October 11th. They originally gave me the position around September 20th, as mentioned earlier.

The department was without a manager for a month. So, I come in with inherited work undone. 500+ price changes. All sorts of other issues. Naturally, they wanted everything completed when they finally got around to getting me installed.

Slow, fucking Georgia. That’s all I gotta say.

I’ve had to gone in early to get work done without being disturbed by customers and endless extra requests by other managers. Oh, and don’t forget late CBL’s (Computer based training).

Again, through all of this: I’ve been here before. I know what I need to do to cover my ass and get the work done. Yes, it means a few days of going in early to play catch-up. The difference is, I am remembering that this is all temporary. What I’m doing toward a law degree is more important.

My grades are still sharp though, I admit, with these early days at work, I’ve almost let a few assignments slip. Nothing terrible. Whereas I do my homework a few days in advance, I almost got caught with two assignments due the next day. Cut it too close.

I’m not planning to do early days for long. I have Tiffany here with me for the week so it’s not fair to her that I’m tired all the time. Still, things need to get done. I foresee another week of this and I’ll be right on time for Christmas prep/Inventory.

I took Donna and Tiffany to dinner at Legal Seafood the previous night. Kind of a celebration of both their birthdays. I usually can’t afford to treat anybody anything. I felt good to be able to do so and still have some money in my pocket. 

If working like this is providing me the means to do something for my wife, I’m okay with being this tired. Just as long as I stay on track with the prime directive: Walmart is only about making money, gain leadership credibility. Pay for law school. Get the fuck out after the LSAT.

What’s that? Around the year 2020? Shit. I better be a goddamn Store Manager by that point if it’s going to be like this.

How much do Store Manager’s make? Six figures, from what I understand.

Fuck it. Go for it. Jump to law and do that and more.

If only I can keep my eyes open.
