Livin' the third shift life.......

I've been back at work for 3 months now and, except for the first 2 or 3 weeks, I've been on third shift, or overnights if you will. It's been a difficult chage. The biggest issue has been sleeping. Today, I had the second consecutive day of decent sleep since I started this shift! I actually feel like I might be able to do this after all. Working the 3rd shift isn't all that hard, it's living the 3rd shift lifestyle that sucks. You're up when everybody else is asleep. The good thing about that is when you go to the store, it's like a ghost town in there. No standing in line! Days off, during the winter, you freeze your arse off at night and sleep when the furnce is running. The upside will be in the summer. I'll be sleeping when the A/C is cranked during the day and working in the cool of night. Over all, it's kinda boring at night on days off. Like I said everybody's asleep, I really can't go out to the barn and work on stuff, because what if something goes wrong? It's not like anybody's around to help..... And then there's race season next summer. A lot of the events are on sunday. I start my work week sunday nights at 9:30........ Which means I either take monday off or go to work having been up for better than 24 hours. I guess it'll depend on how much vacation/personal time I've acrued by then.
I finished my last wind turbine tech class, getting a 3.5 for grade. This means all my grades were 3.5 or higher for the program. My overall GPA is 3.75. Even though I'm back to work locally, I'm still going to start job hunting for a windsmith job. I'm making pretty good coin, but a windsmith job will pay way better.
Enough of that crap, he're the cats!
