Sometimes It Can Be Harsh.

I keep saying that I'm handling 3 jobs just fine. But it's getting harder every day. At first I was able to get up for the 5 a.m. opening shift, but it's becoming harder as I continue this path. Hopefully I'll be able to find a new outlook because otherwise I might have to change something.
