Work, continued

[desertvixen]

After a year and a half of working a schedule of 2 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off, 2 on, 2 off, 3 on (basically, working M, T, F, S, Su one week, and only W, TH the next week), this four day in a row thing is hard to get a grip on. Especially since days off "roam", which means figuring out when I can get anything done on my time is an ordeal involving an actual calendar and much brain wracking. :( Today is day 3, which means I get to deal with the untrained person who technically outranks me. Luckily, he's cool about admitting that my technical knowledge is a book, his is a chapter or so.

Plus, there's the discovery that everything the Army wants me to do in on "my" time in the next two months either occurs on my day off, or at an ungodly early hour of the morning. Swing shift is *evil* and we're on it until the end of the year.

Preparing to do a beta on a thirty-one page *chapter* for one of my fellow Joe authors. I need to get it done before this weekend, and maybe even lay down the start of Weekend Leave's conclusion (see, Fearchilde, put that rope *away*...) that I have down in longhand.

And at some point, I need to straighten up my apartment. So I should probably not be planning to spend hours on the computer until I go to work.

Right, that's going to happen.

And so it goes

Hello there...I told you I'd find you. MWahahahah.. Yeah, swings suck, but at least you do something. I just sit there, except for the other night where we, as you put it in the log, got excited b/c we had something to do. That made me laugh. Anyway...the women in the military community is called womenwarriors. The most recent entry *gag* is about who had crushes on their DI/TI. Interesting. Most of the time, they're more fun. It really is interesting to see how many people are clueless about other services. The one girl posted on there..."you mean there are some people who have co-ed basic training?" Idiots. Well, enjoy.
