| Okay, so today is JB day... I am thinking... hmm... I'll just do my work...
Surprisingly, she was her old self! All chatty and sharing... it was a nice day.

| Now that I am out of the eye of the storm... I feel a little better, still tired, but thinking a little better...
After my announcement last week... Jay has now been helping on the floor ever since! Perhaps, could it be... he actually realises how little he is helping me on the floor that I am starting to feel burned out? Could he be feeling guilty?
BUT!
I honestly do not care a bit... he can do what he wants... I'm still doing my job... so while I am doing my job today... I am thinking about THE JOB....
I am going to do what is required of me, nothing more, nothing less... my days of doing "more" are over cos I am definitely taken advantage of. They do appreciate my work, but they rely a lot on me.
Er... this is not my business folks... so why, in my right mind, should I be bending over backwards, working off the clock for you?
Yes, today, this STOPS.
If you don't want to fix the signs, so be it
If you don't want to tell the girls they are out of line and slackers, so be it
If you don't want to get things fixed or done, so be it
Ms Do It All Esther has left the building!
I am still going to be nice and helpful and hardworking, but just not overdo anything anymore. If I can't, I will say NO. If I don't feel like working on Saturday, I say, NO. I don't have to explain why... just NO.

| I had a really busy weekend - spent Saturday cleaning, tidying, getting the guest room ready, cleaning out my work table, sorting our stuff, getting rid of everything I don't need or want (almost everything).... cooked....
It was good...
I got so into cleaning and clearing and chucking, I went to bed at 2:30 am! LOL!!!
Sunday, we went for Sunday Class, came home for the continued series by Dr Lutzer, cleared away boxes we didn't need and discarded them, then went for lunch with the Kapshandy's... GREAT LUNCH!!!
Nothing like good food and great company. :o)
I came home feeling sick... had a blocked ear canal aka stuffed up nose aka a cold... took medication, didn't help much, I ended up going to bed at about 10 and slept through till this morning...

| So I had a quick chat with Jay about why JB said what she said...
Jay said that they noticed she is becoming more like her mother as she ages... hmm... as for the shoddy straightening she did... he said THAT could be a sign of her being upset...
Er... why on earth are they upset with me asking for 2 days off a week?
If they get another employee, should I need to go to SG urgently, there is someone to cover me.
What if I died tomorrow? HELLO???
Its not like I'm quitting! I'm just asking for 2 days off!
They pay me minimum wage, I work like a donkey, run around like a headless chicken, pick up the slack from the weekend crew... Yes, I know they can rely on me....
I hate being me!!!!

| So yesterday was the day I worked with JB.
She was aloof and I could sense something was really wrong, so I asked her if she was feeling okay, she said yes.
Later on, I just mentioned that I hoped they were not upset that I had requested to take 2 days off a week... giving her the same explanation as I had with Jay and her reply? She said this in a very nonchalant way:
"well... you have to do what you have to do...."
and that was it, so yes, I think she is pissed and perhaps, it may not be a good thing for me to work with her anymore if she is going to behave this way!
She rarely helped me yesterday which is what she normally does... she was on the phone even though I was super busy... before, when I was busy with customers, she would actually tell the person that she had to go and she would come and help me, but no, not yesterday....
So.... sigh....
I don't know what her problem is... and yes, I am going to speak to Jay about it...
Gosh, how long is this thing going to drag on!!!! Grrrrrrrrr... I'm only a part-timer! not a full-time staff... I don't see what her problem is!
