Okay....I'm not the New Year's resolution kinda girl. But I was thinking this morning at 5:04 that there is a resolution that I could make and probably keep. It will just take a small effort on my part and is something that has been bugging me for a long time. Are you ready??
Get myself to work on time. I know...you're saying "what"?? Didn't know that was optional, right? I typically arrive at my job 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes late on a daily basis. Give or take a couple minutes. It's not that I can't do it. I get up in time. It's just that I do dumb stuff like check my Facebook, watch the news, make coffee and decide I just have to wipe down the kitchen counter, etc. before I walk out the door. Oh...and gotta give my Hubby a kiss before I leave (not optional) I always get the mail sorted on time so my tardiness has no impact on my co-workers. And my very laid back boss doesn't care. But if I could get to work on time, it would benefit me in 2 ways.
First, it would give me 40 hours of work every week. As it is now, I fall short of 40 hours by a half hour or more. Also, if I work 40 hours a week, I earn 8 hours of leave time for the pay period (2 weeks). When I work less than that 40 hours, I only earn 6 hours of leave. If I do the math right.....that would give me 52 more hours of leave. Yikes!! I should've done the math sooner. Another week "plus" of vacation. Yessirr......
I am going to work very hard at this situation. I will keep you informed on my progress.

- I'm a 50 something Wife, Mother and Grandma. I work full-time but would really enjoy part-time more. Maybe someday. I am content, but not overly thrilled with what I've done with my life so far. I have lots of ideas in my head, but just can't seem to get beyond that. My mind never shuts off. Maybe blogging will help me put my thoughts into action and inspire me to get off my butt and do some great things before I die. Well, maybe not great things, but something other than nothing. That's my hope.
