In a weird funk today....

[Shelly F - Ohio]

Hello I am having a hard time adjusting.. Let me give you a little background info. I work at a hospital as a secretary and I was hired as PRN but for the last 6 months I have been working 40 hrs. The reason I worked 40 hrs is that the dept that hired me, had someone going out on maternity leave so they need to train someone to cover her while she was gone. From June - Oct I trained for the position and worked 40 hours a week. Then Oct to just last week, she was on maternity leave so I work 40 hours a week as her replacement. I should mention that during my training I was actually trained for 2 different positions- surgical secretary and a surgical hostess. Now that she is back I will be just PRN and work less hours a week. I will mainly be covering her if she needs to take time off and I will also work about 2 days a week as the surgical hostess.

For whatever reason last night I had a hard time dealing with not going to work on Monday! I think that I was so busy the past few months with adjusting to a new job, preparing for the holidays and being a bit stressed about all of it, that I don't know how to deal with being idled.

Most woman would be happy to have a day off. But here I sit in a funk. The house is 90% clean, laundry is done and put away so I don't have a lot I could do around the house. I plan to take the X-mas tree down this coming weekend so that I have something to do on Friday when I am off. I don't have a desire to go out to a mall/store mainly because it is cold and snowing a bit .

It's just the weirdest thing!
