(no subject)
So I haven't been posting recently. Why? Because I've either been at work or asleep.
My first six-day week came as a result of BayCon. To get Sunday night off, I traded the following Saturday day shift. Then Terry (the dispatcher I traded with) had a stroke.
So, stupid me, I volunteer to take the *next* Saturday as well. Now my usual shift is 930pm to 600am. The Saturday shift is 500am to 130pm.
So not only am I working six days, I'm screwing up my normal sleep rhythms. Which, for people with seizure disorders, is fucking STUPID!!
Threats to my health aside, I was too tired to go to a party I had been looking forward to for sometime last Saturday, and spent the majority of my weekend asleep. This is not good.
So I left word that I can't do two of these shifts in back to back weeks. I may still pick up some overtime here and there, but it won't kill me.
