Work..
Have I mentioned before that I hate my work? Just in case you didn't know, I HATE MY WORK!! A lot of people think I have it pretty easy, I work for my parents, my hours are extremely flexable and the pay is pretty good. But, it also stinks because I work for my parents. Working for family is stressful in the best of situations.
With me, it's even moreso for 2 reasons. 1) Money here is VERY tight and business stinks. And the fact that it's my parents money that I'm "playing with" (for lack of a better word) and the knowledge that if we can't keep it together until the property sells, we're all up a shit creek without a paddle. And 2) I'm doing the job of TWO people. When the Assistant Manager left, there was no new Assistant Manager hired. Dad figured I could just do both jobs all by myself.
He forgets that when he and mom were running it, there was TWO people doing the Managing and Accounting: him AND mom. I'm losing track of so many things. Like I just got an e-mail from one of the front desk ladies from February asking about Blue Cross and a raise, and it was the second notice. I didn't even GET the first one and completely forgot to check my mail in the front desk system. So, I'm sure I've managed to piss off the one employee that is hardest to replace. My brain is so scattered with managing stuff, accounting stuff, home stuff, family stuff I'm just dizzy thinking about it all. Normally things at work roll off me pretty easy. After I got that e-mail and gave the lady her raise and gave her the form, I just wanted to sit down and cry.
