Weekends feel Weird

I don’t miss my time as a Filling Station Sub-Division Sub-Area Sub-Par Mini-District Mini-Manager (or whatever the Hell my job title was) but I do miss the familiarity of the routine I had while I was doing it.
I’m settling in well at the new job (is it still ‘new’ a few months in???) but I haven’t yet got myself into a pattern of doing certain things on certain days. This means that I spend most of the time just dealing with things as they come up, and so there’s nothing to tell me what day of the week it is. I think, with the seasonal nature of the industry, it might take me a couple of years to start feeling comfortable with everything, especially with the constantly changing fun and games of Covid restrictions and travel uncertainties. In the supermarket retail game, there were certain busy times of year, but there were also incredibly busy times of each week, and those tended to be consistent. With holidays and holidaymakers, things tend to be more haphazard and arbitrary (at least that’s my conclusion based on what I’ve experienced so far).
Having said that, we do have set days for change overs, so the site gets much more active on those days, and there’s a lot of new people to deal with, but most of them are quite chilled about the process, and everyone has an allocated arrival time so that, in theory, we won’t have a backlog of people queueing up to collect their caravan keys.
I keep thinking I’ll be overwhelmed soon, because we’re heading into the busy Summer period, but the truth is that we’re almost at full capacity anyway, so it’s not as if we’ll suddenly be 40% busier come mid-July. Unlike retail, there is a finite number of people we can have onsite anyway – we’re never going to have more people here than there are beds available, so in that way there’s an absolute limit to how over-run we might be.
I guess all this is just nerves and uncertainty and not yet feeling absolutely sure about myself and my new position. I’ll be fine by 2024, I’m sure!
