I am not so old and set in my ways that I can’t adapt to change, am I? I am an agreeable and fairly easygoing person. I don’t have a heavy social agenda too often. I have for the past few years had Thursdays off. I kind of like that because it gives me a quick little rest before getting into a weekend of work. Yeah, that changed this week.
One of my co-workers, in an effort to educate and better herself (whatever!) is taking a class at the local technical college. She came to me a few weeks back and asked if I would be willing to switch my day off. I said sure, no problem, it’s for a few months for the semester. So the time of summer flies by, we all know that, and all of a sudden she starts class this week. So I have off today. It’s a beautiful day, I will find some way to fill it, with Miss Zelda or something. But I am just a little out of sorts. It won’t be enough to screw me up too badly, but what really concerns me is when I get to Thursday. That is gonna screw me up!! I bet it takes me four weeks to adapt to the change. Old lady, set in her ways, God forbid we move her day off!!
Nobody is off on Tuesdays. Nobody I know of. And I would go recreate the Boozeday Tuesdays of my late 20’s and early 30’s but I have a cardio workout this evening, and I can’t see showing up at that half jagged working too well. What happened to me? As much as I love day drinking, I may have to find a more constructive way to fill my day.
For today, I will just probably wander around mumbling to myself and Zelda. That’s just embracing my future down the road anyway. By the time I get adjusted to this Tuesday nonsense I will be able to go back to Thursdays off and really be messed up. I think this may be good for me, make me think about the days of the week a little more objectively, whatever that means. This is the curse of the service industry. We have days off that nobody else does, and it is weird. But I love it, it’s the only way I know. I had this past weekend off for several things I had going on, and I was exhausted from all of it. I don’t know how regular people do that all the time.
Enjoy your Tuesday my lovelies. I will be over here, adapting. Change is good, right?
We do get set in our ways! Really ticks you off when they rearrange the grocery store….and Shopko closed. Good grief, what next??
