Feeling my age

Man, I'm buggered.


Colleague took ill, so office "activated" me to cover for her last night, Problem is, last night was also supposed to be my off. So now I will work 5 straight nights, excluding my afternoon shift last monday. And I'll only have one day of rest (sun) before it's back to the grindstone this coming monday.


For those who wonder why I gripe, you really should try doing shift work. We try not to do more than 3 nights in a row. Now I'm facing 5. *small sigh* The last time this happened to me, I needed divine intervention lol.


So here's hoping that the dog next door remains quiet, so's I can sleep during the day. And here's hoping my body doesn't flip out and allows me uninterrupted sleep during the day. And here's hoping that my callers for the rest of the week remain sane, polite and to the point.


Can't blame my colleague for getting sick, but perhaps we need to relook our roster. The 3 of us that anchor the night shift never take medical leave at night (when it quietens down, we can rest a few hours) so it's a little shocking when someone else does. *wry grin*




Ah well; such is life. Wish me luck! :D
