During yesterday’s team meeting myboss announced that *I* am heading up groups 28/29. what?!? I thought “shegeek#3″ was doing them! and he says “no, i need someone who’s here during the day same time I am” Well great, i’m thinking to myself “shegeek#3″ is going to be kinda pissed about this… heck, i would be! she was so excited about it. I’ve done this before it’s not a big deal so i couldn’t care less either way except now my workload seems to have doubled. …and how can someone change their mind 3 times about who will head up an important group?
So today i got absolutely nothing done with respect to this thing. Everytime I’d change desktops to begin hammering at them either the phone would ring, or a server would break, or a coworker would ask me a question, or a high priority ids case would come in. today we had a doozy with a couple customers getting assigned .255 ip’s. i’ve never seen that one before! …anyway, since i stay up so late anyway, i’m going to do a little work on the groups from home. [ This is stuff "shegeek#3" could be doing during third, don't you think? ]
…but I’ll just shut my trap and do as I’m told.
Man, I’m so happy it’s finally friday so i can relax the next couple days. This shift move in the middle of my work week has been torturous. on Tuesday night I didn’t get home from work until about 1am. I stayed up till about 4 (which is when i’m used to going to bed) and decided to stay up cuz there’s no way i would have made it in at 7 if i’d gone to bed at 4.
At 7am I took off to work. I was all over the road kept swerving to my right for some reason. I felt drunk. the drivers on the streets that early are a lot more aggressive too, so i’m lucky i didn’t get into an accident.
I was so out of it walking in I forgot my pin at the door. I’ve had the same pin for two and a half years - that should give some idea of my state of mind. I could tell which 4 numbers it was just couldn’t remember which order they went but I finally got it by trial an error.
The day was a blur. Thank god I didn’t have to do anything too complicated or I would have fucked it up for sure.
It was hard for me to sleep right last night. I slept from 7 to 12 then woke up when dennis got home. I couldn’t go back to sleep again untill 4am. I actually started feeling sick my sleep pattern was out of sync with what i’m used to..
This is like jet lag or something. Moving to third shift would have been a LOT easier transition for me I think. I’m a night person, not a morning person. At all.
Today is better but there was no way I could have made it in at 7 so i slept in till 8 and got here at 9. I think maybe i’ll work 9 to 7 from now on. I’m not sure yet. traffic at 8:30 wasn’t so bad so that’s a plus.
this is my last day on second shift… at least for the rest of the year that is.
couple weeks back eric asked if i would move to first because “he needs to lighten the load on teh existing crew” “there’s a lot going on and we can use the extra help”. well that’s all well and good but i said i would rather not. but that i would still do it if it was absolutely necessary and suggested he ask other people maybe someone else wants it more?
well today he drops the bombshell. i gotta move to first. 
i’m not too happy about it but i guess i can hold out until the end of the year, which is when he says he i can go back to 2nd.
this is actually a bad time for me to go to first cuz dennis is on 2nd shift too and we’re closing on our house on the 4th and moving and stuff we need to do during weekdays we won’t be doing together. that sux.
