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. It’s not too bad,
the work’s 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.
It’s 40 hours, at least. But I feel like I'm trying to maintain three different diurnal schedules
