Time for my triennual blog post....
My circadian rhythm is just about hashed
After a few months of fairly steady, if low-paying, work, I was laid off at the end of February, just a week before my scheduled eye surgery. Add in the two week recovery period from that, and it killed March, pretty much, as an earning month.
So the agency placed me at the beginning of April at another plant in Woodinville. Its not too bad, the works not really physical or anything. But it is on night crew. After a couple of weeks, I kind of got used to it.
Then, the whammy. Would you be okay with working weekends? Sure. How about 12 hour shifts? Uh ok, I guess.
So there you are. Thursday and Friday, I work normal 8 hour night crew shifts from 3:00-11:30 pm. Saturday and Sunday I work 7:00pm to 7:30 am. Saturdays and Mondays are zombie transition days, where the major focus is sleeping and eating.
Its 40 hours, at least. But I feel like I'm trying to maintain three different diurnal schedules
