Working, Working oh and Working

Be the Best YOU that you can be, everyone else is taken - Unknown

I worked 8 hours of overtime today and work Friday, Saturday and Sunday all 12 hour shifts.  I honestly, truly debated whether working today was a good idea after my oh so recent depression scare.  I decided that if I don't push my limits I won't be able to find out just what they are.  I also need to know if it was the extra work or just a combo of lack of sleep and dreary weather.  So here's hoping.......since in another month or so I will be working 4 day shifts one week and 3 night shifts the next and then repeating.  I am really looking forward to the new schedule, so I am praying that my body will adapt.

I can hardly believe spring is here!  My daffodils have all bloomed, so my tulips won't be far behind.  I am loving the warmer weather.  This and fall are my favorite times of year.  It is still cool enough out to enjoy the sun without broiling and warm enough that a light coat or sweater is all you need if anything at all.  In another couple of months I will be tempted to sell my soul for central air conditioning!!  LOL  We have never owned a house with central air in the 10 years we have been married and every summer for about 2 months I swear over and over that we will get central air, this is the last year I will suffer like this again etc etc etc, but there always seems to be something else more important than air conditioning  :p  I do promise that my next house will either have central air already installed, OR it will be installed immediately upon closing!!

Work is going well, at least well enough that I don't mind working an extra shift this week :D  Actually for the most part I do love my job.  As with everyone else there are days that I need to remind myself of that, but mostly I do love my job.  The company I work for pays me very well, I have full benefits (mostly company paid) and a pension.  I have complaints, but it is mostly about co-workers.  Surprisingly Management is good to me, I have no complaints about how they have treated me.  I know a lot of people who have a lot of complaints about management (both where I work and other places) and many people who don't get paid as well as I do and work much harder. 

Well I have to get up early tomorrow and go to the gym before work, so I had better get to bed.

Have a great weekend!
