Mainly my weeks have consisted of University assignment/project work and WORK. So, my life at the moment has been uninteresting and, I thought, unbloggable (? =p).
I work at a department store and they have been having some problems with the sprinkler system in the store so have consequently had "overnight teams" in to check areas for fire (and also do price checking/delivery/tidying etc.) So, I jumped at the chance to do a few as you get paid extra money after 11pm (the shifts have been 6pm-5am). I did the first a couple of weeks ago and I was SO tired after, but now this week having finished my fourth over night shift yesterday morning I have become almost nocturnal, a night owl (!) and have definitely become used to the idea of eating at strange times.
One problem I did have this week was, my normal shift is 7.5 hours on a Saturday (don't ask about the half, I don't even think my employers know why this is =p) and so on Saturday I went to work, tired, but excited that I would be seeing my boyfriend that night. La la la... It gets to around 11am, two hours into my shift, and I get a call to the office, my first reaction is "SUGAR! What have I done now, did I give a customer the wrong change?!" When I get to the office I am told that I was supposed to be doing the over night shift THAT NIGHT and, to cut a long story short, I was sent home to "sleep" and come back at 6pm where I would help with cashing up and start my over night haul.
Anyhow! I am (semi) back to normal for this week and plan to use this week to develop my ICT Project for Uni, as well as baking some cakes, seeing my boyfriend (finally) annnnnd seeing my two best friends =)
Sounds good to me =)
i did night shifts once - i slept for days afterwards xxxx
