Call me the Night Watch

May 08, 2023 04:08


After leaving my long-time job with the healthy oils company, I went to work for a bakery that makes gluten and dairy-free treats. Six months of that was enough to convince me that a change was needed so here I am.

My employer is a home care company for mostly disabled individuals and I took a position as an Awake Overnight person. Seems like a good way to ease myself into a new field. Right now my shifts are 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. I still haven't figured out how to properly day sleep between nights or what my sleep schedule should ideally be on days off but I'm winging it for now.

Compared to getting up at 4 a.m. and slinging heavy baking pans all day in sweltering heat from ovens, this is a complete and mostly very welcome change.
