Why today sucked!

1. My brain wasn't in the forecast

2. Because my brain wasn't in the forecast, my AFD stunk!

3. People's lack of understanding me

4. Small things, blowing up to be big things

5. Having to stay at work and replay the days events to upset me even more.


But:


Something that makes it all better, A kitty that loves me and gives me hugs when I get home!




Love

Why evenings are better than mornings

1. Sleeping in is awesome!
2. My body gets to wake up on its own.
3. I don't get tired each day between 10am-1pm
4. I have no problems staying awake for a shift
5. Time flies by so much quicker!
6. Severe weather happens more often during the evenings/nights
7. I get to see Marie
8. Less people floating around the office
9. More project time, if there isn't any severe weather
10. I get to stay up way late...like 2-4am, and have no problems with it!

Thanks Shift work!

Life passes by quickly

I'm not quite sure how it's mid March already...but alas it is. I'm catching up, but I'm behind on a lot of TV...just proves I'm not home to terribly much. February was a whirlwind. My parents came down for a weekend, I went home for a week and I worked a whole lot of different shifts at work. Here it is almost the 3rd sunday of March, and I can see the end coming very quickly.

A couple weeks ago at work the scheduled switched to the non-peak convective season. For those of you who aren't meteorological in nature...that's storm season. With the schedule change, we now have morning and evening shifts. The first pay period of the season, I spent on mornings...but that will not happen again for a while. Right now we are down to one Intern (me) in the office and with that, the majority of my shifts will be the evening variety! Which if you know me, you know I prefer those. However, with that I will be busy most nights. I don't really have much of a life for that to be a bother, but there will be times, when I just want to be free in the evenings. BUT that is much preferred at this point in my life than any stretch of 6am shifts!!! I'm just not a morning person. This will only last a few months though, until the new Intern joins the group. Then it will be back to the normal rotation.

Today is my actual weekend off...which I don't really even care if my weekend's are sat/sun. I just don't get the need to have sat and sun off each week. I don't do anything different than if it was a mon/tue...in fact I may even do more when I'm off during the week..because businesses are open. Regardless today I finally got to sleep in and I really enjoyed that!! I also put up the Easter decorations and cleaned up some of the apt, which makes the apt fun!

Spring is finally arriving...window's open and no coat outside! Wonderful!

Love all!
