The Ways of Third Shift

That seems to be all I've been doing lately is work...

Work and sitting at home for the three days they gave me off... but it's not as useful as it once could have been , those three days, because the world is unkind to the third shift world. It really is like it's own separate world with it's own set of rules and schedules to follow and some things are really easy to adapt to when you live near the city like I do. For instance around here I CAN go shopping at 3 am... as long as whatever I need to get can come from a Walmart because it seems to be the only store open at that time. Fast food is easier to find, but I try not to do that...

Now a days I'm more content with a sandwich on tortilla bread with lattice and tomato... but that's off topic...

 Also if I plan on going to see my family in the next state over I have to plan for the next two days, like where am I going to crash at 2pm so I can keep up my schedule? And if I don't want to do that, how am I going to keep myself awake in order to drive home? And IF I do that, how am I going to be able to get myself back on track for work the next night? It's more complicated than I would like it to be and gets more complicated when my boyfriend comes with me. Then we must worry about TWO schedules being messed up... gahhh...

Sometimes I think I should just go back to day shift, take the two dollar pay cut, and do whatever they need me to do... though they would probobly make me a cashier again and I REALLY REALLY don't want to do that. Being on third shift has lowered my tolerance for stupid people (if I ever had any tolerance to begin with) and has completely crippled my ability to hide my distaste for the general public... probobly due to the fact that I now can say whatever I want to who ever I want and they do the same thing. It's a level of honesty that you can't get any other time of day in any other job.

I started writing about it too... or rather the people I work with. They are a riot though I find it hard to explain to people WHY they are funny. I guess it's because most of the stuff I find funny about them is on a  "You had to be there" basis...

That's not a bad title for it... hmmm...

Pretty soon my life should get more interesting and I hope to write more often. I've been in a writing mood lately and I'm half way done with my Iris/Alexis novel that I have had scratching at the inside of my head since high school. I have also started looking at my notes from my long going Valamere project that I have started and finished and stopped and continued too many times to count... but I have an idea and I think this time I've got it... And when I do start it I am going to stick with my original plan of basing most of my characters off of people I know... or knew when I started Valamere, but with a whole new plot.

Very excited for whats to come!
Not so much about going back to work tomorrow....
