Wake Up
I recently started a new job.  I have never done this type of work before nor have I had to work 12 hour swing shifts. It is taxing on the my resting requirememnts.  I have to rearrange my sleep patterns every so often to aaccomidate my work schedule.  This is not easily solved for me.  I was brought up to sleep when it is dark outside.  So learning this new vampire-ish-lifestyle is difficult.  So I have decided to try some new things to aid in the change over from day dweller to night stalker.  I first inhale large amounts of coffee.  This makes me happy, and a bit jittery.  Also I make sure I have rested as much as I can during the off time.  To ensure this rest I do things that bore me; like housework or laundry or watch new SNL episodes (that are not remotely funny anymore).  Next I decided to use this alert time of my day to exercise...oh who am I kidding.  I may never get use to the back and forth rotation of my work schdule, but I will get some satisfaction.  Every two week I get a stretch of 7 days off and I get paid.  Face it that is what motivates people to work unnatural hours. Those who say otherwise are liars and sleep deprived.
