Tips are always nice. I used to make quite a few of those when I worked as a cocktail waitress back in the 70's. I used to have pay days too. Now I have once a month pay day. Cool how the days go by. Had a rather good day here too. THings seem to be going nicely lately.

Thank you for your good wishes. I don't think a body does well when they have to change their sleeping hours and waking hours every few days. It would be better if you could go to bed at the same time each day and get up at the same time as well. I don't really think you will get over being tired until you are able to do this.

Hi laken02, it's great to have leisure time to carry out our favorite activities after the working hours. We won't find real fun if we have no job to earn for our daily expenses. I'm glad that I have part time works to make a little income. Moreover I'm happy to meet people with common interest in the workplace. It's a pleasure as well to chat and learn quite something from them. Days would be fresh and full of interest to get along harmoniously with different people in different environment. Today is Mother's Day and my son had back to hometown last evening, and we are invited to have specially lunch later. We have lot to share with since the last gathering a couple months back. Really, happy moment always flyes...
Happy mother's day

It sure does make a huge difference to like your job. I have always loved working with people and used to wait tables and be a bartender when I was younger. I made quite a bit of money doing it too. The only problem was benefits. There weren't really any options on that side. I did it for a long time though and done well. I hope that you continue to enjoy what you are doing. It really makes a world of difference.

thanks, my job is really easy and i get to meet alot of new poeple and i love that
i just hate getting up at 5 am on my work days :( but hopefully i will get more use to it as time goes by right now i have to take a nap when i get home ..
i know waht you mean about the benefits, i am lucky i have great benefits from my hubby's job so i dont have to worry about that issue.. if we did not have good insurance i could not make it.. i have meds i have to take that cost me 60.00 a month with my insurance and without m y insurnce it is 600.00 so i would not be able to afford it.. and its is a medication i have to have on a daily basis.. take care :)

I am glad to hear that you are having a great time. Nothing beats the feeling of taking your rest day after days of hard work, and the good thing about it, it's payday week. I am sure you have been working so hard, so I think you deserve a really good and quality time with your daughter and the entire family. Your enthusiasm is very contagious I can not wait to have my rest day and payday as well.
