changing schedules again...

[derien]

What a horrible diet I follow - I just loaded my plate with barbequed chicken and a Devil's Tower of mashed potatoes. No veggies at all. I had an orange yesterday... I'll take a vitamin.

Tomorrow is the last day I have to get up at 2am for work! I'll be starting on the afternoon shift on Tuesday - so I have a 3 day weekend!

I'm not sure I've made the right decision, in some ways. I won't get near as much done - I've been quite productive on the morning shift. Not in things like keeping up on journal entries and e-mail, but in other real-life pursuits, like getting the car maintained. And I'll miss the morning shift people - getting up that early starts your day with a screw loose.;)

That reminds me, I meant to start keeping track of service on my car and notes about any conversations associated therewith in my LiveJournal.

How do you feel about anecdotes from work these days? Feel like writing down how you feel about the job for future reference? One of the things I really like about LiveJournal is that I don't have to worry about being too boring for people to read: they don't have to read it. So I can write down stuff that's personal, so long as it's not too private. And nothing improves one's writing like writing.

Thanks for sending out those recent Yahoo! e-mails, by the way. I've been going through a bit of a "stuck" phase over the last week or so, and using the energy-for-progress I have to work on more immediate parts of my life.

Do your shifts rotate at all? And does a good diet help with changing your sleep patterns?

Keeping notes about your car and what the service people say would be a damn good idea. I'm frustrated right now because the "Service Engine Soon" light keeps going off, then coming back on, seemingly at random. I don't want to go back and open myself up to another $900 of repairs - I'm pretty sure I got ripped off on the catalytic converter, someone else told me his cost only $300. I wouldn't think my car would be so rare that it would be difficult to get the parts - it's a Chevy Metro for heaven sakes.

Anecdotes from work - well, there's some funny stuff I should be writing down, but at the same time we've been told to avoid giving out too much information about how we do things, so I have to sanitize the stories for anything about proceedures. That just makes it a little more work. Besides, it's all starting to blend together, now - we see the same things over and over, and after a while you stop noticing them. But I might try.

I'll send out a few more e-mails for the group today, try and get caught up.

Shifts will stay the same unless people ask for them to change, I think. At least until February, was the last I heard. I have no idea if a good diet would help me adapt. Probably. But I don't have a good diet, as a normal thing.;)
