I know – no updates for a week? What is up with that. Obviously not a good slump to fall in to.
Retail is an interesting industry to work in. The busiest times throughout the year are generally periods of time where most other industries are slow and people are relaxing. Some of my friends in advertising or IT are relaxing a little bit as work has slowed to a managable 40-hours a week instead of the usual 60 hours per week overload. But as the Summer months begin, retail is all about the Back to School season. Obviously, this is no different for me and things are gearing up to be pretty busy over the next few weeks.
All week I had a sharp pain in my lower abdomen that caused me to miss a little bit of work. I saw a doctor and they are having me see a surgeon to see if it could be a hernia. Hernia? Not good. The pain has subsided, leading me to believe it is more of a muscle thing than an actually hernia, but I am still seeing a surgeon this week to rule everything out.
So that’s where I’ve been this past week. Sorry for the little absence!
