if i knew then...

so, working hard, working late, and i didn't realize until 9pm (which is the end of the shift, practically), that the guy i was working with hadn't been trained to close. and closing was upon us.

:(

so. we got out of there nearly 40 minutes late. i didn't freak out, i didn't get stressed, i just tried to prioritize and utilize his strengths. what else can be done?

there are so many things i would, could do differently. perhaps i should do everything different. but it is what it is. and i am not able to make things perfect, much as i want to.

choose your battles suzanne,

my trainer kept telling me.

and i'm trying. i'm trying to keep in mind the things that matter most, and let the rest just wash down the drain.

my boss opens tomorrow, so we'll see if what i prioritized was the right thing to prioritize.

and i'm tired and must to bed, at some point. i should probably study first. i've devoted all my free time to the apartment search/chess game, and being there for my kid.

but it's time to crack the books seriously. fortunately, i only work 8 hours next week. it couldn't come at a better time, and i hope to get a bit of rest out of the deal.

walking through the pasture with the horses the other day, wow, that was just yesterday, felt so natural, so right to me. i'm grateful i get to do it for an entire week next week. and i'll be grateful when it's over, as well. it's a lot of work, and i've got to figure out how to get the studying done at the same time.

it will be fine. i cram when i have to. and, well, i have to.

peace. out.
