Lord, I am so tired. How long can this go on?

As of about twenty seconds ago, my new work schedule (officially starting the day after Thanksgiving) will be Sunday through Thursday working 8am to 4:30pm (specially for those who don't like the 24-hour clock).

In other news, I have done the dishes, vaccuumed the house, showered and done laundry. And later I may take out the trash, and will definitely write email.
This makes up for being a complete slug and doing nothing but playing video games yesterday.

Hey, that schedule sounds pretty reasonable. Congratulations!

And you have the day after Thanksgiving off, too. (I assume that, in this line of work, you don't get holidays off. Do you get extra paid holiday time, or is it just an hourly-wage-slave kind of deal?)

It could be much worse.
The way it works for me is, there are... somewhere between five and eight days a year which are deemed 'holidays'. If you don't call in sick the day before, the day, or the day after (which is pretty easy if you're off that day), then you get credited eight hours of pay at your normal rate. If you work a normal eight hour shift that day, then it's like getting double pay. If you work more or less than that, then it's like getting eight extra hours of pay that don't count towards your overtime-after-forty hours.

Since your new schedule starts the day after Thanksgiving, does that mean you'll work Wednesday and Thursday (Thanksgiving), and then have Friday and Saturday off?

That doesn't *completely* suck. And maybe you can go to Dickens Faire with us, and we can go see whatever movie it was coming out on Thanksgiving we were discussing going to see that Friday. :)

yeah, LJ's been kind of wonky today. I had an update where I said "Which means next week I'm off M/T, working W/H (which will suck a lot) and then off F/S".
The movie was probably Love Actually with that yummy Alan Rickman.

Well, the schedule certainly could be worse....

Thank you for the non-military time. I have enough problems figuring out what time it is in New Zealand. If I had to do the same for you, my poor little head would blow a fuse.

I am always very thoughtful of your head, dear. (:

OMG! Someone else who thinks Alan Rickman is a hottie! Woot!

Who doesn't?
Um. Unless maybe you're a six-year-old who's only seen him in the Harry Potter films.
