Croft emailed me tonight to ask if everything is okay since I haven’t blogged in a bit. I looked at the date of my last post and was surprised to see that it was five days ago! The days are starting to blur together and I am oh-so-tired, but I’m making headway in my projects!
The wood flooring is up in all but the stairwell and I’ll be continuing, and finishing, the Allure this coming weekend (Thursday through Sunday).
I decided to concede defeat in regards to one project and called in a ‘pro.’ Her fee would have bought a lot of trim, but I decided that it would be worth it for a good job that was causing me a lot of headaches. Stay tuned tomorrow for the results of that. It’s a matter that has been awaiting resolution since I moved into Miranda!
The convenience store job is slowly wearing my down. My feet are soooo sore. I’ve definitely done in the shoes I’ve been wearing there, but am loathe to get a new pair for this job, so I’m going to try to tough it out. I’m glad I decided to just stay on there, even if the job sucks and I only get along with one of my colleagues. The manager and I have a rapport and the schedule he’s got me on is beyond perfect.
I’m also working on my other contracts, so there really hasn’t been a moment to breathe since the beginning of February. In fact, I can’t figure out where the month went!
So, all is well in my ‘Verse. Come back tomorrow to check out the pics for the latest project!
Have you tried standing on a rubber mat? Probably cheaper than new shoes.
The rubber mat idea is great when you’re standing in one place all day. We don’t; we’re always walking around because there’s just too much to do to just stand at the cash while waiting for another customer.
If I was staying there longer I would petition for rubber mats for the time we are at the cash, but since I’ve only got only about a half dozen shifts left (!) I’m not going to try to change things.
Please see someone about the pain or get some kind of hard plastic insoles to fit in your shoes. I was wearing Dr. Scholl’s shoes and SAS shoes when I was on my feet all the time at the convenience store. One day I got this shooting pain in my right foot in front of the arch and it never got any better. From then on I had a sore right foot. It was about 2 years after I quit work before my foot felt right again and now if I stand or walk for an hour or so this foot starts to hurt.
