So...
First day of my new shift...actually went really well. The day went by rather fast, and...there's something to be said for increased productivity when you weren't working when the entire country is asleep. I was actually able to get stuff DONE!
Though...I miss being a "professional writer." Okay, okay, I was never TECHNICALLY a professional writer, but...Well...If I spend almost my entire shift at work WRITING, then...Well, I am getting PAID to WRITE in a way, aren't I? And that makes me a professional writer...? The owners of the company just didn't know that that's what they were paying me for;)
But while I could do that at 2:00am, doing so at 2:00pm would just be a really bad idea...
But...when 10:00 rolled around and I got to LOG OFF and GO HOME...I damn near threw a party right there! Normally, come 10pm, I would have only been at work for 3 and a half hours (out of an 11 hour shift) as opposed to being done with a nine hour shift. It was like...AMAZAFYING. I don't know any other way to explain it.
You want to know the freakiest thing? I set my alarm for 8:30am to give myself a half hour to play with the snooze button and get a little extra sleep before getting up at nine. Well this morning, when the alarm went off at 8:30...I DIDN'T HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON. NOT ONCE. I just got up, turned the alarm off and got in the shower.
Hell, the last few days, I haven't even had my first cigarette of the day until after I get out of the shower. I mean, today...I was pretty much COMPLETELY READY FOR WORK by 9:30, and I had another 3 hours before I had to leave for work.
I could really get used to this.
