I am so tired of my crazy work schedule. I worked last week some evening shifts, had a day off, then worked a morning shift, then turned around and worked an audit shift (11 pm to 7 am). Then I had a day off then I had two more nights of the 11pm-7am shit. But one of those days I had to be at work 3 for a meeting. I only drove an hour to work to sit in an hour meeting about stuff the manager had already talked to me about, but I had to be there. I guess to show everyone else that I am a team player. Then I stayed in a room there at the hotel until I had to be back at 11pm. Then when I got of at 7am, I drove home and did not fall asleep until about 9:30 or 10:00am. Then I got up about 9ish to start getting ready for work. Then I go into work, work my 11-7 then get another room to stay in because I had to be back to work 3-11. So, at 11 last night I got to come home and sleep in my bed. Which I didn’t do until around 4:30 this morning. But at least I don’t have to be back at work until 5pm today. All in all this crappy schedule has my sleep all Messed up, and I don’t get a day off until Sunday. Even then I don’t get two days off in a row, like everyone else I work with. Then I work from Monday to Thursday on the 2nd shift (3-11) then I have Friday off. But then saturday I work 11-7am again, then have sunday off. Again no two days in a row off. I don’t think I will get 2 days in a row off for a long time. I think my schedule for next week is pretty much going to stay like that for awhile. Or at least until they can find someone. I think I have spent more time at the hotel, with co-workers than I have at home with my family and friends. I kinda just wish I could get two days in a row off to actually run errands I need to get done. Which with my days off that I have, everything is closed on Sundays, so I can’t do a whole lot. I need to get doctor’s appointments for my eyes and teeth, haven’t been to either in awhile. Needs to be done, but can’t do that on sundays. I need to get perscriptions filled, but I guess I can do that on sundays. Just have to find time in 24 hours to get stuff that I can do on Sundays done. I also need to start thinking plans for the wedding. and actually picking a date and planning it. But that too is hard to do when I am at work all the time. I do have a notebook that I have been carrying with me so when I think of something I need to do I write it down. But again, I don’t have a day off to actually do it. On a different note, dad is still not doing too good, he stays in his chair and sleeps all the time. when he is awake he is in pain, so we are keeping him druged and the drugs are keeping him asleep. Mom went to the doctor the other day and had an MRI. she has been having problems with her arm now for about 2 years. come to find out she has torn tissue, bone spurs and mutiple other things wrong. So she is having surgery on her arm April 13th. And you know what, I think I will have to work that day. Ok, anyway, enough ranting for now. Later
