Good Damage

As I expected, I woke up this morning incredibly sore. As the day has worn on, the soreness has subsided a bit (mainly just my triceps and hamstrings are still burning). I took a break from strength training today (and probably tomorrow) and instead just did cardio. Hopefully by Wednesday my muscles will be fully recovered and I can pick the weights back up. I'm working on being better about resting my muscles. Ultimately that's how you see the most progress, giving your body a chance to repair the damage (good damage, but damage nonetheless).

I felt a little bad today, because I kind of tried to avoid Rhonda and Susan (my supervisors at Bremerton). There was a meeting at Bremerton for ActivTrax yesterday morning that I couldn't go to because I worked at Haselwood. I neglected to let them know that I wouldn't make it, so I hoped that they'd either not notice (yeah, right. That always works) or not care. Well, they did and they did. I got an email from Rhonda this afternoon asking where I was. I've told them I work at Haselwood Mon.'s, Wed.'s, Fri.'s, and Sun.'s, but I guess it's too much for them to keep track of everyone's schedules. There are a few of us working both locations. I sent an email back apologizing for not coming and neglecting to inform them that I wasn't coming. I just hate disappointing people. If I could have been both places, I would have.

Speaking of work, it went by a lot faster today. I did everything in my power to keep myself occupied. I helped out in every department except group fitness and aquatics! It helped that I had back to back orientations most of the day as well. I really think I need to talk with Jose or Deborah about a job change. I don't like being on floor 2 when there's nothing to do. I'd much rather be in 12 week, if I had my choice. Which I think I should have. Everyone should have. There's people in areas they don't want or like being in.

Tomorrow is the first day of Semi-Annual. I wish I could say I was excited, but I'm not. Turns out I hate working retail. Actually, I have for awhile. Getting away from it for a prolonged period of time and doing something else just made the obvious that much more obvious. I'm sick of cleaning up after messy customers, making nice with bitchy customers, dealing with their issues, It doesn't have the same satisfaction I used to derive from it. Once again, I'm stuck between holding onto the past (and my loyalties) and doing what I've wanted to do for awhile now (move on). Unless you're a manager, Victoria's Secret isn't a forever job. Even if you are a manager, it probably isn't a forever job. I don't know. I'm in such a state of indecision right now. I don't know what I want to do. I guess when I really have to make a decision, the right one will become evident. For now, I'll just continue to plug along. One day at a time.
