So Dan works for a small mechanical engineering firm and when their company puts in a new machine, they watch it 24/7 for a week to make sure everything is working properly. Two guys take turns in 12 hours shifts watching it. Dan did this from 7am to 7pm at the end of May for a steel company. I guess something didn't work and they're doing it again now. This time however Dan has the 7pm to 7am shift. He started 7 pm on sunday, so this shitty schedule has gone on since Saturday. He stayed up all night saturday so he'd sleep during the day Sunday and be okay to stay up all night on sunday. At least this time it's 4 days of instead of a week of it.
I hate the schedule though. When I'm waking up, he's coming in to go to sleep. I go to bed about 4 hours after he leaves for work. It's weird to not really see him much, it's weird not to go to bed together at the same time, and it's weird to miss seeing him so much when he's right in the other room sleeping.
I just can't wait for it to be over :-/
