Change of pace

Tonight was, I believe, the first time I had ever worked an entire overnight shift on a Sunday night with the regular overnight manager. It was a nice change from the typical Friday/ Saturday overnight that I normally work. It was a lot slower that I am used to but it allowed me to actually get work done. Everybody I was working with really seemed to know what they were doing and what they needed to do and it just went so smoothly. It was a nice change from the busyness and general chaos of the weekend overnights. So today's favourite thing was working a non- weekend overnight.

What did they say about whistling while you work.

As I may have mentioned before, I tend to work overnight shifts on the weekend. I really don't mind them, mostly because depending on your coworkers, the manager and the customers, they tend to be generally more laid back than regular shifts. People visit, I sing along to the radio and I just feel less uptight (usually) than during some really crazy day shifts. Occasionally, you get annoying drunk people but they're usually pretty good. It helps when I get along with the otehr peolpe I work the shift with because when I don't, it makes for a long night. So today's favourite thing is the overnight shift. Another bonus is getting an extra dollar an hour and more of an employee discount.

Moving right along....

My sister left to go to Europe on Saturday. I have had the car all to myself for the past few days. I am quite thankful for that because I don't know if I would have made it on time for work today if I would have had to take the bus. After doing an overnight shift on Saturday night and then sleeping til four yesterday afternoon, I was so not able to get to bed when I should have to be awake in time to take my time before going to work. I started work at 2pm today, which isn't such a big deal but I still really wanted to sleep. So I was glad that having the car gave be twenty extra minutes I wouldn't have had if I would have taken the bus. So today's favourite thing is having a car to drive to work.
