[[MORE]]i’m really upset right now. my manager only scheduled me for one day next week.
i mean really. she usually schedules me for three days (and I end up working two of those. we’re a small business, so if i’m not needed on my scheduled day, i won’t go in). But this time she didn’t even bother and ONLY GAVE ME FIVE HOURS NEXT WEEK TOTAL.
I am taking the weekend...
It all boils down to this.
Most people won’t admit it, or don’t even realize it, but
caring for people takes energy out of you.
Investing your time and attention making sure somebody knows
that you love them and that you want to ensure their well-being can drain you:
mentally
emotionally
spiritually
even physically.
Love people, but take care of yourself.
Don’t burn yourself out.
