Talked to my boss and he's agreed to reduce my work load to three day a week. This will give my spine time to heal, and I'm pretty darn happy about that.
And he was super nice about it.
Thanks to all you Boogerbutts for the support. Sometimes I'm a chicken shit. And when I am, I hear Phoebe's voice from Monster Squad say, "Don't be chicken shit."
In juicing news, it's day 14 of 28. Half-way mark, and it flew by. Tomorrow I weigh-in and Monday I do the Chubba Bubba Report. Hope to see you there.
PS: I bought this at the Farmer's Market this morning.
Hope you get to heal up. I'm pullin' for you!
ReplyDeleteI've been out of work for a few days now and it's amazing how fast the spine is bouncing back.
DeleteThanks bunches.
Way to be awesome! Here's to an Awesome August! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is funny. Just two seconds ago I was at your blog sharing the news. And you were here. Too funny.
DeleteI love when that happens! So happy for you Ivy!
DeleteThanks, I am. And really, I stressed for nothing. It wasn't a big deal at all. He was super understanding.
DeleteSo glad to hear that. :)
DeleteThree days to heal!
ReplyDeleteAnd what is that...?
No, I'm sorry. Maybe I wrote it wonky. Three day work week is what I'm reducing my load to. No full-time right now. No hot side, ever.
DeleteAlex, I went back and rewrote the first paragraph. I re-read it and it was confusing. My bad.
DeleteMaybe I'm being dense, but what is that in the photo? Some kind of fruit? Love the color!
ReplyDeleteIt's an organic beet. So yummy. I was trying to juice it but instead I kept eating it whole. So good.
DeleteI think three days a week is so good, becaise you love your wotk:) take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will get rested up.
Deletethree days sounds nice, I miss the old days where I could afford to do less work. I usually have 5 or 6 day weeks
ReplyDeleteIt's just temporary until I heal.
DeleteI hope you continue to heal. Kitchen labor is brutal. All that time on your feet, the lifting, neck craned, carpal tunnel, etc. Oi. Rough stuff!
ReplyDeleteSo true. I never realized before I started working in food, just how much energy goes into making that one meal that someone sits to relax and enjoy eating.
DeleteI was doing great right up until I started training on hot side. My spine says, no way. Bummer, really.
Hey Whisk! Best of luck to you with the juicing and exercise! I read through the last few posts...so great you fit into a smaller shirt...love the Under Dog glass...you just keep going, girl! Yay! Glad you boss was understanding, too! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's fun. Though I'm currently back to not being able to exercise. Soon though. Loved that cuppa you had on your blog. Way cool.
DeleteGreat news about your work! And all you had to do was speak up!
ReplyDeleteI know right? Big fat Duh, on my end.
DeleteWish you a speedy recovery. Good to know things work out with your boss at work. :) Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Hope you had a yummy weekend.
DeleteChip away at that stone.
ReplyDeleteI think you boss knows good staff and has made a smart move
Ian
Chip, chip, chip, that's me. Thanks.
DeleteGood news, Ivy. I hope you heal up soon. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI've been off work for a little bit now and it's already getting better. Thanks.
DeleteGood to hear my Queen!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lurker. I'm relieved.
DeleteGlad the work thing is all good. Be back for the report tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing you then.
DeleteAh, a beet! I was wondering!
