The drive back from Florida was fine, except for a standstill traffic jam in Atlanta and about ten minutes of absolute pouring rain in the mountains of TN (my absolute least favorite place to have rain). I got back right at 12:15 a.m., which wasn't too bad considering the slowdowns. A couple of times during the late morning and midafternoon, I got really sleepy, so I had to stop a little longer and walk around at rest areas (which, coincidentally, had geocaches) to perk up. The weather was perfect (except for that tiny stretch in TN) and walking around for a few minutes really helped.
The next week I worked 35 hours, which was kind of a shock after a week off. It was inventory week, which didn't involve me at all. It was supposed to be my first week on weekday team for real, but the first day and a half I was still outside. I had to work with Skeeterette both of those days, and she said not one word to me. She did come out and talk to Kevin (the other waterer) and ask him about his weekend. She pointedly ignored me. It annoys me, but in reality I am glad I didn't have to talk to her.
The next week (last week) was my first full week of weekday team. I worked 5-9 M-F, which is OK for now, but just can't happen during tax season. I need to find out how to change my availability so that they have adequate notice that I can't do nights after November. The real problem is that now that I am permanent parttime, I can't just quit and be able to get unemployment, so I have to keep working until I start having tax place income. My plan is really to work minimal hours at the home improvement place during tax season, then start back fulltime when garden season starts again. Of course, it would be good if Skeeterette were gone by then.
