so suffice to say that the holidays at work are a true test of one's character....and i always pass with flying colors but fuck if it doesn't take alot outta me & damn near drive me insane....my feet are startin to recover from the aches...i'm still pretty fuckin tired.....my shoulders are still ridiculous tension filled...but...my boss did buy me a gift certificate to a spa for xmas that i'l prolly cash in soon 
....twas super nice of him & i think he might possibly at times appreciate me as much as he should....but at others he's far too independent thinker and not my minion to do my evil bidding as he should be....tis common knowledge that about 89% of the time he's a figurehead puppet & i'm truly the one pulling the strings 
....but those times when he makes his own decisions are sometimes brutal nerve-racking mindfucks that shake my world to the core with annoyance & inspire the overwhelming desire to bitchslap and/or kick him in the face, as well as others...now that the holiday season is over & business will dwindle, he is startin to man up a lil & do some housecleanin as far as the staff's concerned...i hate that i don't have the authority to fire anyone myself 
...but hells, when i was a GM i never even used it....then again, i hired intelligently most of the time & was the sole person responsible for such ,as well as scheduling
....but really...in all honesty...that place is drivin me a lil nuts...i work my ass off....case in point, 48 hrs thus far with one more shift to go this week....but i did decide to go in late & get my hair redone thursday since the kids at work are commentin on the roots again 
...in all actuality, i really do bring too much work home with me...maybe it's not just me....but fuck, when i leave work, i wanna really leave work....that's one of the main reasons i hated bein a GM, i don't like bein married to a shite job .... i really need to devote myself to that new year's resolution....i want a life...not just work....

Egh, I'm sorry you are working so hard but hopefully it will pay off and you can have work and the life you want. I think it is hard as hell to balance it. When I was in Ohio all I did was work, run and bake.....and occasionally play guitar hero.
Good luck with the new year, I have a feeling you are going to rock it out!
