So I finally made it to night shift, (11pm-7:30am) after 6 unexpected weeks of "training" on day shift. So far...it's not too bad, I just have to get used to it. Tuesday night when I got to work I was thinking to myself "yes! I can finally get my 40 hours complete in 5 days and actually have 2 days off like normal people!" After checking my email that idea was shot to hell! We just came off a mandatory overtime April 6th and now we're on another! This is truly wearing me out! On top of acclimating to night shift I have overtime too?! Ugh!
Last night on my way in I stopped at Starbucks. I got a grande Pike brew with caramel flavor, 2 shots of espresso, whole milk and plenty sugar. I started on that about 10:15pm, took a 30 minute nap for lunch at 3:00 and now it's 11:29am and I can't get to sleep to save my life!!! And I have a class from 2:00-3:20 and another from 5:00-7:20. What am I gonna do? I tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna skip that 5:20 and get some sleep! Hopefully I'll be ready to crash by then and I can get to work by 9:00 tonight to knock out some of that OT.
This schedule of mine is bananas!!! I can handle it though...or at least I'm gonna attempt to...
Oh yeah! I've been meaning to do a quarterly review of my goals and see how I'm doing so far, I'll fill you in when I find the time.
