I AM TIRED. I am very tired and very busy and very stressed out. And now you know why.

I am taking a break from writing today, owing to how much of a mess I am.

Lately my left wrist, hand, and fingers have been bothering me -- not quite painful, but hovering on the threshold between discomfort and outright pain. I've made efforts to adjust my posture to deter further injury, but these efforts in turn have been absolute murder on my back and neck. Particularly my neck. Constant work leaves it tight and sore to a headache-inducing extreme, which is where it is right now. Ow.

Beyond that, I worked 7p Tuesday to 7a Wednesday. Tomorrow I will work 11a-7p, and Friday I work 7a to 7p. Needless to say, this has an effect on my sleep schedule not unlike banging very large dents into it with a sledgehammer. I rob myself of sleep to make myself sleep early... I won't get a full night's worth till the weekend. I can't possibly express how much I'm looking forward to it.

It looks like Turkey Day is going to be pretty sparse here. *I'm* bringing a pie, but it seems the majority of people working tomorrow are bitching about how they have no money, or no time, or can't cook. Barring some dramatic and unforeseen event, I probably will be eating turkey... sandwiches, brought from home. Oh well. I will get holiday pay and all that good stuff for this. My plan to heal my finances is tentatively on-track.

I'm tired. Overworked and tired. Oh well; next week I have only four hours of overtime, which means two 8 hour shifts, two 12 hours, and a four. Now if only I wasn't doing overnights next weekend...

Meanwhile, because I'm just too damn nice, I traded away my weekend off. One of my coworkers was scheduled to work on a day she had specifically requested off (Sunday), so I agreed to work 12 frickin' hours for her that day. The only upside of that is that she'll take Tuesday for me, leaving me Tuesday, Wednesday, and part of Thursday off.

Since my weekend is screwed anyway, I signed up for four hours tomorrow, 3p-7p, too. I really hate needing money so bad.

My schedule goes:

Today: 11a-3p
Monday: 7a-7:30p
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: 3p-11:30p
Thursday: Off
Friday: 7p-7:30a
Saturday: 7p-7:30a
Sunday: Off
Monday: 3p-11:30p
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: 3p-11:30p
Thursday: 3p-11:30p
Friday: 3p-11:30p
Saturday: 7p-7:30a

Sunday, of course, I will therefore also be working an overnight. What a messed up schedule... especially next week I'll be working my ass off.
