Once again, these mid-shifts are catching up to me. Note: I will have work 120+ hours of mids during the last 4 weeks... that means I've only worked 24 hrs of days. Blah.
Because of this:
I am so sick of music. But yet I keep it going constantly because this place pops at night. Things make noises, and I am a fan of not being aware of them. Hence music.
I really don't know how else to transition from nights back to days, so I have developed a routine of sleeping 4-5 hours after I get off then proceeding on like it was a normal day. Although I have noticed certain warning signs from my body. I don't think it likes my quick rebounds...
I am my weakest after day shifts though because my body will not shut down at 8pm at night... no way. If there is still light outside, I cannot make myself go get in the bed. So I end up being so much more tired during days than nights.
This has not bode well for this last change up. I worked two days last week, got off Friday at 6pm and had to be back on the clock Sunday at 6pm for 3 nights... you talk about being on the verge of irritable. (verge? well, ok. I fell of the moody-cliff) So once again things are getting to me more than normal: un-returned text messages, diet/eating changes means that I am eating more than normal (and feeling it), and I find myself wanting things very badly again.... facebook has made that evident. And traveling. This was supposed to be my ONE weekend to stay put in Picayune. Yeahh, no. It will mean two trips to DeKalb and back. Joy.
But next week, I am back on days! And I will be on a normal routine for three whole weeks! (with two of those weeks being swing shifts... aka "no responsibility/8hr shifts"). Ahh. then I'll be headed out to Monroe, NC for a roommate's wedding! Woohoo.
Enough. Back to (boring) work. Cha.
