Last year right around this time, I embarked on working the most days in a row that I ever had: 36 days. Some people at previous jobs told me hoping for pity that they had to work two weeks straight. Well I put that to shame. And I’m also sure people have worked more than that consecutively. Consider the people that work for Kellogg’s and UPS. I hear they work 7 days a week, but I also heard they get paid bank.
Those thirty-six days were stressful to me and my streak only ended because of Christmas Day. I worked from November 19th to Dec. 24th. Somehow I managed to buy Christmas presents for all the people on my list.
Maybe I should have seen this terrible year coming from how last year ended. I also remember that once New Year’s was over, I had an overwhelming longing for the holidays to return. That was a feeling I hadn’t gone through in previous years.
From what I can tell between my two work schedules I work on Friday the 20th through the 27th. Based on how schedules have been, I will continue working from the 28th through at least the 2nd. That is thirteen days in a row, which I think I can handle. We will see if I beat last year’s record or get more days off.
Come on Holidays, get here quick!
