....but you can't take the night shift out of the boy! Not yet, anyway. I finished my week of nights just before 7:00 this morning, I haven't been to sleep yet - that would've been a complete waste of one of my rare days off - and I am, frankly, knackered. I did meander a little bit this afternoon, and even saw a cutie or two, but it wasn't long before I subsided into my local, where I'll doubtless stay until I start literally falling asleep. I'm off again tomorrow, but my return to work on Wednesday will mark the beginning of a run of 11 straight late shifts, so I'm determined to make the most of my clear Tuesday. Whether my good intentions come to anything remains to be seen, though!

Oh, by the way, the ONE thing I like about my job are the hours: 1300GMT-2130GMT (8AM-4:30PM EDT), M-F... no call ins, no expectations outside those hours.
ReplyDeleteFor that, I am profoundly grateful. More than anyone can know.

Hello Jay
DeleteI'm certainly with you on the 'on-call' stuff - my entire career path has been designed around two unbreakable principles, namely that I never have to work outside, and I never have a job where I have to be on-call. As far as my upcoming run of days is concerned, it is partly down to me, because I made myself available to work my two rest days next week, and we're short enough of staff that I was always likely to work at least one of them, and, in the event, I've ended up working both. Still, the next time I finish nights, in five weeks time, I'll have a much better break, because I've booked the whole week off, for no better reason than my birthday falls in that week. I'm certainly looking forward to it.
Love & best wishes
