Good morning everybody! Three day weekend here, too. Which is kind of weird because I don't remember having Good Friday off in the past, but I'll take it!

 

[NJDiva]

Good morning all...I unfortunately don't have a long weekend but if you take a look at my ticket I am down to single digits. My vacation is on the horizon and I am in desperate need of some magic. Besides being stressed out from work a friend of mine from work died yesterday. So I was pretty much useless in the office yesterday and I'm not sure how today will fair.
So I will need some serious happy from ya'll so I can function.

Goood mornting!

After my babes went to bed, I stayed up into the wee hours doing remote configurations so I would not have to work this weekend. yay... today, I decided its going to be a good day... migraine and all...

DARCY: Showering in the morning is always a great thing. Now, what is interesting to me is the fact that Madonna3 is showering with you...unless that was the plan, of course.

DC: That is hilarious about the 4:15 break... I would have loved to hear some of those calls! LOL. Also, I used to work a 2.5 shift back in my help desk days (my shift was 6pm - 2am). It was quite interesting trying to figure out a sleep pattern from that. I was usually a zombie by midnight. I could never get used to it.

TEXASDISNEY: I'm jealous about the 3-day weekend you have. I guess us hethens don't get that.

NJDIVA: I'm sorry to hear about the death of your friend at work. Its sometimes just as tough as if it was a family member, especially since many times, we spend more time with our co-workers than our family. But, as I always say... Disney is like my Chicken Soup.. anytime I need to feel better I just head down to THe World. Its the best therapy, ever!

"Dude.... My Internet isn't working."
**snicker** ""Sucks to be you!"





Let's see... I've worked 8-5, 7-3:30, 12am-9am, 11pm-10am (current shift), 11am-8pm (my "normal" day shift)... um... 2pm-11pm (one of my favorites back in the day. got off work just in time to hit the bars when they start getting worth going too), 9-6.....

and several others I've long since forgotten. think I did a 6-2am as well at one point. I've always been pretty flexible, and I'm MUCH more of a night person than a day person.

When I was a medic I would work 16 hr shifts as well as 36 hr shifts. We'd go into work on Monday at 4pm and wouldn't get off until Wednesday at 4am. The 16 hr shifts were 4pm to 8am. That was tough. I'd rather the 36 any day.

I am dying over that phone calll... why? because I do that now... with a clean blood stream.

Wow, you've done it all with the work shifts... my FAVORITE work shift ever was when I was doing pharmaceutical sales tech support from 11am - 7pm down on Wall Street... I would get off work and go down to Fantasia's which had happy hour until 8 and then Comedy Club until midnight... awww man, those were the days!!

Now, I been working a 9am - forever shifts for the last 6 years... I am the worst at being morning person (unless Im at WDW) but could not make the ends working a mid-day shift.

 

[Madonna3]

So happy for you all in single digits. I am waiting on confirmation of a reservation at BLT for September. Keep your fingers crossed I can get in!!

Wow, I would love a 36 hour shift like that?? How did your days off work?



On another note, I need a cure for this migraine... I've tried it all - advil migraine, coffee, almonds, I dont know what else to try.

 

[Madonna3]

I was off from Wed 4am to Monday 4pm.

 

[DCTooTall]

Let's see... my old tech support shift was the Tuesday-saturday 7-3:30. I loved that shift since I would get home early enough to take a nap, then go out partying. Friday I could stay out until 4 partying, come back home, take another quick nap before heading to work on Saturday. Come home from work, nap, and party again all night Saturday since I had 2 days to recover before my week started back up.


The 2pm-11pm shift was also nice since I'd get off work at 11, then me and all my bosses would head out to the bar and drink till we closed the place. since we didn't have to be back at work until 2pm, we had plenty of time to sleep it off after last call.

And then there is the current 3rd shift. I just love being able to goof off when I don't have anything I need to do and not worry about getting in trouble... not having to deal with people, and the 3 day weekends.



How do i know i'm getting old? Because my reason for enjoying my current shift doesn't involve it's ability to revolve around drinking with friends.

In unrelated news...

 

[ahoff]

Off to shower and start my day. . .had to mention showering. . .lol. Love my morning showers. . .

Me too, but I usually shower when I get to work after my ride in.

I guess I just need me beauty sleep.

Looks like it's working

Then I'll go to work where I'll spend an hour constantly hitting refresh on my email, surf the net for 2 hours, have lunch while reading the boards, hit refresh on the email for an hour, do some actual work for about 2 hours, read the news, go home.

Almost like a government job....

Good morning everybody! Three day weekend here, too.

Enjoy it!

That's great!

Auto show starts this weekend in NYC and runs until next weekend. I am going to try to get in one of the days. And I just scored tickets to the Daily Show for the week right after I get back from WDW.

Hi all,

Just stumbled across this thread in search of a new home and figured I was qualified to say hello and comment as I, too, have successfully showered today.

Congrats to all the rest who have achieved the same

That is excellent news... when do you start??

I know this was hours ago, and hopefully your head is feeling better, but did you try drinking water? Sometimes that can help.

CONGRATS!!!!
