Woo-hoo! Three days gone and two more left of this week. I don't know if I will get called back to work this assignment next week. I hope I do, just for the fact that I'll be making money, but my concern is just being able to close out the rest of this week. At least I will get a full paycheck, if all goes well.
During my down time on the job today (which was quite sporadic-I was pretty busy and it made the day go by faster), I read an article about making the best of a job situation that you're not happy with. It made me think about this position. It's amazing how you can take little things for granted. I never would've thought I would be at a job that I have to be escorted to the bathroom and can't leave the building until my shift is over. So I am in that office for eight hours, with no windows and restricted online usage! I realize, like that article said, the best thing you can do in situations like these is just try to learn something. I do believe every experience we have helps to prepare us for future endeavors. Believing that and knowing that I'm making money are my driving forces these days. Sometimes I feel at my wit's end, but I've come too far now to lose my mind completely.
The good thing is, as I mentioned during the last post, with this job I don't have to spend any money that I don't have. I've been taking my sustinance everyday for the last three days. Oatmeal for breakfast, Tuna on wheat and a granola bar for a snack. There is a water cooler in the office so I don't have to worry about not having a beverage. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me to drink more water, but since I can't use the rest room at my own free will, it's best if I limit the intake. I was thinking that maybe I need to start eating my heavier lunch during mid day so I can burn it off by the time I get home. Problem is, because that office is so quiet and stuffy, I'm afraid that a big meal will put me to sleep. I feel bad that I'm consuming so much bread, but this is what have right now. I may, however, shop for soup during the weekend, that is if I'm still assigned to there next week. I love New England Clam Chowder and that would be a nice filling light lunch...that is, if I can get it through security. I may need to just invest in those small microwaveable bowls from Campbells or Progresso. I would also like to get some more fresh fruit. On my first day, that's what I had for lunch. I bought it in my mom's purple Curves canister and the security at the airport surprisingly didn't give ma hard time about it. Today, however, they took my hand sanitizer, which sucks because there is no sink to wash my hands in the office. Oh well, let me stop complaining. A job tha's semi-confining is better than having no job and no money at all. I'm also proud of myself that I had a pack of Entenmann's assorted donuts that my supervisor brought in staring me in the face for two days and I did not give in to temptation. Somebody give this girl a round of applause!
Not that I'm a Homer Simpson or anything, but I do love sweets. So I would've certainly ate it. But in reality, I'm just not interested in consuming food that is really bad for me. I would really like to ride this weight loss storm straight on through this time!
