More... This week has been crazy busy. I am getting over 40 hours of work between both jobs and with school that doesn't leave much time for a social life. One problem that I have encountered this week is that me and my boyfriend's schedules have been the exact opposite. When I'm in school he is not, when he is in school I am not. When he works I don't. You get the drift. Well anyway, I cant seem to grasp the whole idea of partying. How does anyone have the time for that? I talked to a few people at school but have yet to get the whole picture of when they make time to have fun. The only time i have had to relax this week have been at about 10:00pm after work and me and my boyfriend are across from each other working on homework. But on the bright side at least I am staying focused. The last thing that I need is to be distracted and lose everything I have been working so hard for.

More... I firmly believe that week 8 is one of the most difficult weeks we endure during our ten week quarters. It is one of the most difficult weeks because you know you have final projects to be completed and this week causes a lot more work than even week nine or ten. This past week I have had to write a major essay for my ENG111 class on Hawthorne and write my Perdue Farms case for small business management. All of this has taken a great amount of time to complete. I also worked over forty hours this week. Sunday i worked at the hardware store from 9-5:30. I still had to finish up my two papers and planned on working on them after work. six minutes before I was suppose to get off work my boss decided he wanted to check the first job that was given to me when i had gotten to work that day. I was asked make sales tags for a whole aisle and also for the endcap. I was told that a particular brand was already done and I didn't need to touch it. well that brand was on the endcaps so I did not make tags for them since I was told they were done. making the tags ended up taking me three hours due to a malfunction in the computer. since he was checking it six minutes before I left he noticed that I had not put up sale tags for this brand on the endcap that was suppose to be done. So he began to tell me that it had to be done. I said that there was no way I could stay past my shift. It was a sunday night and I had some papers to finish up. He then proceeded to tell me, "well that's crap". After his warming comment a customer came up and asked where a particular product was. While my boss went and showed him I went and clocked out. I know that some of you may be thinking that I should have stayed but, it is uncertain as to how long it would have taken to get those sales tags because of the computer malfunction. I am pretty sure that I will see some kind of a disciplinary action but am not for sure on how severe it will be. maybe my decision was too rash but, I truly felt forced to choose between work and school. Since going to Robert Morris I have always put school before everything. I was not about to let my second job get in the way of good grades. also if there is one thing that I have learned in my management classes it is that it is very important for a manager to give in great detail the responsibilities of the subordinate. so I am confident in my decision and that it was the right one for me. I just hope that my punishment isn't as hard as what i deserve. but I have made my bed and now i must fall asleep in it. Lastly for those of you wondering. after work I went straight to my computer and Literally worked from 5:45pm until 11:30pm. I did stop and ate but while i ate i was proof reading one of my papers. However at 11:30pm i still was not done. can you imagine how far i would have gotten on my homework if i would have stayed at work?
