I’m really behind on my preparations for the winter.
- It’s because of all this overtime work I have had to take with my job.
My boss basically told all of us that if you wanted to keep our positions that my associate and I would be toiling overtime for the foreseeable future. That’s really aggravating when you already need the job desperately. And when I took the job I wasn’t expecting it to turn into something like this where my associate and I would have to work overtime with no choice whatsoever. And it was sprung on us at the last minute too. Aside from lacking winter preparations in my house, I also have not gotten any of my holiday shopping started either. I usually like to get all this stuff done early in the winter season so I am not left procrastinating with all of my errands, and one of the biggest things I have to do to prepare for the winter season is to make sure there has no drafts in the house. That means ceiling all of the windows as well as doors respectfully. I also have to split enough wood for the wood stove in the fireplace. My associate and I use our wood heating system as a major source of heat for the entire house. If I do not keep the wood chopped, I willhave to be tearing wood out when it’s cold outside, then hopefully, I will get enough wood chopped in the next month to cover me for the rest of the winter season. I have enough fallen trees on my house to provide me firewood for the next 5 years at least. That’s a really enjoyable feeling knowing that it helps us keep the house warm during the coldest portions of the winter season.
