thoughtless...

This morning, i woke up to find the entire house empty...my effort to locate my family members prove futile...no one was anywhere to be found! I looked at the clock and it read 10:00...

then i know, it's Monday morning, brother has gone to college, and my parents should be in town...The question is, why am i home-bound on a Monday morning?

Well, as of today, i am put on a midnight shift AKA graveyard shift from 12am to 8am...the very thought of it gives me the shiver...seriously, who would stay awake at 12 midnight? hmm, let's not think of it as the time to party, k?

Personally, i really have no problem working midnight shift, truth is, i HAVE NOT endeavour it before...so i guess it's good for a change....the only thing that is holding me back is...well...there shall be less drinking session while i work on this shift...

Alright, as much as i love drinking, im not going to work at 12am in a tipsy state...really, give me more credit than that...although i would say i can still manage a couple of pint of beer and maintain sober...cant lose touch with Leanne just because of work, rite?

On the bright side, i would only be on this shift for a fortnight, in which time will be totally lopsided, working when everyone else's asleep...

Dad has bought me lotsa 'chicken essence' so that i can fight off the sleepiness...like it helps...anyway, i dun think my parents are happy of me working staggered hours...if ive gotta do this more often, i think they will ask me to quit the job...

Thing is, i find that the time in a day has kinda expanded...i was up the whole day watching Survivor X: Palau, and catching up on some CSIs, i read my book and surf the net out of boredom...i even practised the PIANO!!

Do excuse the exclamation, but i havent touched the piano for ages...there was simply no time for it...and the poor thing has stood there like an ancient relic, waiting to be discovered, full of hopes everytime i walked past without so much of a glance...

Yeah, i spend less time at home when im working regular hours...well, i left home at 830 in the morning, and after work, i often stayed back for happy hour, or went to a movie with friends, or bring some folks to savour at a few new diners, or even gym...

talking bout gym, i reckon i will visit it less now that im put on shifts...i cant possibly be hitting the threadmill after work, can i? or before, for that matter...On the other hand, i would be beating the crowds if i work out in the morning AFTER work...geez...that's a very comforting thought indeed...and GOSH, i would be beating the TRAFFIC...im sure some of you would envy me for that....wahahahahaha......

Now that we are leaning more to the pros of working staggered hours, i can save up a great deal of money too...here's the logic...

1. More salary
2. Less Entertainment (Less drinking, movies...etc)
3. Dining at home (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
4. Less petrol consumption (Smooth traffic)


Hmm, come to think of it, it's beneficial afterall...

but really, let's see if i can take it...we shall find out later...when u guys are tucking in... :(

Tell me bout having life...
