I am freewriting cause I can't sleep

ROCK THAT SH*T

Freewriting For Insomniacs

Ironically, I fell asleep as soon as I started to write this last night. :D I guess just telling my brain that I was going to write until I fell asleep was enough to knock me right out. Thank goodness though, I have been struggling with that all week. I can write this morning though.

I am a kitchen manager at a local deli in a travel plaza (which is a nice way to say truck stop) out here in the desert. I have been struggling a bit lately to complete the work I have to get done, but my team is doing amazing regardless. I just really need to stop spending so much time trying and finish these fucking projects. SO, 2 weeks in and I don't have my checklists done. It's not even that they aren't done, they just aren't being used yet. The problem is I am a perfectionist and I keep thinking I am going to get back to working on them to complete them and I don't. So that stops immediately. I can update them later as needed, but we won't ever start using them if I don't just say they are finished and go. So, today, my day off, last chance to tweak them. Tomorrow they will be implemented.

I am really proud of everyone around me. We are doing awesome work. I don't know if they know that though, because I have been all over the place since we opened. I can fix that though. Easily. I just have to do it.

I miss making music and my house is a mess. I am hungry but we've been home so rarely that there isn't even food in here. What good is a day off when you don't have anything to snack on and you have to clean the whole day? Not really even a day off then is it?

Oh well. Here's to getting to it.
