Tired And Resentful

Hello Everyone: I haven't neglected you. I've been working so much lately that it's left me feeling so drained that writing was too much of an effort. I hate feeling that way. What I hate even more is how resentful I'm feeling because my co-workers seem to getting time off on the weekends and I haven't had a single free weekend day in about a month. Why should I have to keep covering their shifts while they have time to rest and enjoy themsekves. Supposedly the new computer-based schedule system is designed to make things more fair but clearly something isn't working right. Stunning example, I had to man the customer service counter solo last weekend because one person call in sick and no one else was on the schedule. It got to a point where I recruited anyone who came close to the desk. I agreed to stay later than I was scheduled just to help out and my boss bought me lunch. We're supposed to ge a new person with a decade of experience so maybe I can catch a break. I doubt that"ll happen but all the time I've been spending at work has only made me want to move on. I look at my co-workers, who are in school, and think why not me? It doesn't have to be this way. I don't have be physically and mentally exhausted all the time. I don't have to hate my co-workers for taking time off. Still, I feel like I've been working the hardest to make this job a success. Aside from the performance aspectnof it, I've been working hard to master my people and communication skills. Those are the hardest for me because they aren't natural to me. I suppose there's some great lesson in all this. Right now, I'm just tired and resentful.
