What a way to start the morning

[mousme]

There's nothing quite like being awoken by a phone call from your supervisor asking: "Uh, so where are you?"

I cracked open an eye around 05:30, rolled over, and the next thing I knew it was 10:15. Given that I start work at 10:00, this was not a good thing. I made it to work in 40 minutes, although I must look like something the cat dragged in.

Not a good way to start the day.

Here's hoping the rest of the day gets better.

Feh.

I think anyone who does the shiftwork we do has done something similar from time to time. In my case it was waking up at 2345 for a 2300 shift. I rolled over, looked at the clock, said "ah shit", grabbed the phone and called work, "I'll be there in twenty minutes."

Splashed some water on my face and hair, dressed, and off I went. It made for a very long night.

My supervisors are pretty cool though - if you're otherwise a reliable employee, they don't sweat an occasional slip. Occasional = once a year or less.

Yeah. It's happened to me twice since I got here, so it's not too bad. With the constant shifting back and forth of schedules, they're being lenient with me. Also, I've been doing a ton of overtime, and have pulled them out of numerous tight spots, so they're cutting me a bit more slack because of that, too.

Gah. No fun.

Although they've got to understand that asking the overtime that they do is messing with people's sense of time and, you know, the need for sleep...

It's gotten so that I don't know which way is up anymore. I think the migraine yesterday was mostly due to the fact that my sleep schedule is all messed up.

Three more weeks before vacation. Three more weeks...

Oy. I'm right there with you; I'm wearing my "I'm dressed and out of bed. Awake will cost you extra." button even as we speak.

Oh, I'm awake. I'm lucky enough that I'm a "morning person," which means that I'm awake and alert pretty soon after getting out of bed. The problem is that I look like I slept in my clothes. :P

That happened to me once when I was working night shift at a hospital in Copenhagen. They laughed at me when I came in and then said it happens to everyone.

When someone works the insane hours you do, something inevitably gives, sometime.

Aiiieee! Late to Work

Oh no, now I'll have nightmares about this... as I do whenever Savant has to take a major test. Though I am past the point of life where I am capable of being late for work or missing a test, my subconscious hasn't gotten the memo just yet.

Aiiee!

Hee!

Aren't we spammy today? :D

Commenting on every single entry of mine for the past month, are we? Serves you right for abandoning us for Facebook. ;)
