Three more nights, not counting the three hours and fifteen minutes left today. Whee!

I should not be allowed on amazon.ca (or .com for that matter) at night unsupervised. It's a good thing that I'm not keen on using my credit card online and especially not at work, but I have discovered about fourteen thousand books I want.

This is NOT a veiled plea for people to look at my wish list. It is horribly out of date anyway, and no longer really reflects stuff I'd like.

I'm just bored and going slightly out of my mind here, and thus am wandering through LJ communities and finding books on homesteading and beekeeping and all sorts of cool stuff on teh intarwebs.

This night refuses to freaking end. Aaaaah! *headdesk*

Sing it, sister. I had to beat my night with a stick to kill it.

My coworker was teling me earlier tonight how quickly the week has gone by. I felt like slapping her repeatedly with a wet noodle.

Sure, it goes by quickly for *her*: she's only been working since Monday night, and she wanders off for half of our shift to work out at the gym upstairs, to go get coffee, to go move her car (no parking lot here), etc. If you're stuck staring at various screens for eight hours with nothing happening, it's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

D'you get a lot of calls on your night shift? I'm curious.

Yep. Lots of calls, right up to when I jerk the headset out of the phone and sign off the computer. Sometimes, the people are really nice, and sometimes like tonight they're just dumb. The "Do I need to capitalize the numbers when I enter them?" kind of people.

"Capitalize the numbers?"

O_O

Wow. That's... really stupid.

Do you get lots of crazies too?

Usually drunks. And people over 20 who still bring daddy or mommy in the phone to do theor business. No kidding, a 26 year old woman wasn't getting her way, and she put her father on the phone to handle it. Not unusual.

Word.

Or during the day, in my case - my way of dealing with too much overtime is to buy books, apparently. I've got a shelf-worth that I intend to read as soon as I have time...

Good luck with everything - hope you're back to a more bearable schedule soon!

Ditto, except take out "at night" and replace with "ever".
