Happy Canada Day! Ok, I realize that I'm a day late but I've been working nights and when I work nights everything in my life other than work seems to happen a day later than it should. It's the "Night Shift Syndrome" Other symptoms include extreme mood swings, nausea, feeling as though you're on another planet, a level of fatigue that is unexplainable, complete loss of the english language and vocabulary, low self esteem (why the hell do I do this to myself, I'm a complete idiot), hate your job, hate yourself, hate everyone you work with (part of the extreme mood swings), complete loss of social/home/family life, extreme cravings for anything deep fried and unhealthy and when those symptoms become too much to handle there's always....career change. Fortunately I'm not there yet. I'd like to pay off the student loans for this career before starting another which means more student loans and more night shifts to pay them off. It's a never ending cycle, black hole, abyss of night shifts.
Anyways, back to Canada Day! I hope you all had fun celebrating the birth of our country. I was at work, of course, but we all gathered in the kitchen to watch the fireworks which were actually pretty good this year. It's a good thing the people I work with are like family to me otherwise I'd be a lot more upset having to be at work on a holiday. Actually, it's not a good thing that they feel like family because that means I'm spending too much time at work! Speaking of which, I have to get ready to go!
