If I’d known that working was going to be so much work, I’d have stayed in school!
I jest (mostly), but it’s interesting how exhausting it can be to work a job that mainly consists of sitting down.
I haven’t even been given any real work yet. All I’ve had to do is read, watch, and follow my boss around like a dog.
Yet somehow, when I get home from work at 6:15 I’m absolutely beat.
Perhaps it’s just a matter of getting used to it. I haven’t put in a 9 hour shift since last summer. By the end of that, 10 hour days felt routine. I’m sure I’ll reach that point here too eventually.
In the meantime, I do have an approximate end date to look forward to now: April 18th. The 10 month period would be up on March 30th, but factoring in 10 business days for bar studies in November and another few days to be made up over the Christmas holidays, it works out to April 18th. That date may end up being pushed back if my boss gives me a couple of weeks of unpaid leave, but for now that’s the target.
322 days to go.
