I feel as though I should sort of go into a little more detail from the last post...
As a relief keeper, I relieve the primary keepers. When they have their weekend, I work, and vice versa. Because I'm low man on the totem pole, I pretty much get the shitty end of the stick. One keeper is off Friday and Saturday. The other keeper is off Sunday and Monday. This means that I work Saturday and Sunday. Days where everyone else is off enjoying their youth and freedom for lack of better words. I try not to let it all get to me too much. I try to go out after work, although that sometimes makes the next day sort of hard to get through. Some of my friends understand that I'm trying my best to do both. Others on the other hand don't understand what it is I do exactly, and in turn do not realize that when I say that I'm tired, I really am tired. I miss out on walks, and coffee. Farmers markets and picnics in the park. Sleeping in and relaxing are things that I do get a chance to take advantage of on my one day off (the other has been sacrificed to my other job) but it just isn't the same as doing those things on 'the weekend'.
Unless you're a mutt of some sorts, I don't expect you to understand the hatred of my hair. There is no hair product for 'mixed hair', and right now my hair is at the length where it's too long to be short, but too short to be long. It's curly, but not really, and doesn't do much but annoy me. (I do happen to enjoy when it is pulled by certain people though).
The whole farmers tan - there's nothing that I can do about it. I tan. A lot. And I hate it. I soak up the sun and go through about ten sets of different tan lines before the start of November. My hair even changes color (another annoyance).
I'm allergic to just about everything. I'm not going any further. My body and I have a love hate relationship.
And I'm taken advantage of in regards of having to do the majority of the grunt work because the primary keepers don't want to do it. There's nothing that I can do about it. I just have to deal.
Today is/was Friday, and I'm going to try to enjoy my Saturday.
That's about it.

In both jobs I do depend on bookings so I never know how much money I will have at the end of the month and sometimes have to change personal appointments to suit my work requirements.
When I was younger I used to become a redhead during summer. LOL!
