So the thing about working a regular job that I'm not used to yet is the regularity of it all. I work everyday, (mon-fri) from 8:15-4:30. I have every weekend off, every evening free. Wow. That is so impossibly cool. You have to have had a full time retail job, or something like a watchman's job or a nurse to understand how very neat this is. For the past 7 years I never knew when I was free. I never knew if I'd have a weekend or a night off, or if I was going to be able to use the vacation days I had off.
Oh!
Vacation!
I actually get to take a vacation! and it doesn't HAVE to be centered around a holiday 'cause *gasp* I get holidays OFF. Wow.
Before I could be working from 9 to 5, 5-1 am, I could be working all weekend, I could be working all week. I could be working 50 hours, I could be working 4. You never know. You think you know, you get a schedule and you think ah, thats what I'm going to be working. Then someone calls in, or business slows down, or someone gets sick or some huge project comes up and your schedule goes to hell.
But not any more. YAY!
And I'm getting enough used to my regular schedule that I'm not exhausted when I get home anymore. I'm not falling asleep at 8 and waking up at 3-4, I'm going to bed at 12 and waking up just fine at 7. It's very cool. Soon I'll hopefully have enough energy to re-pick up my hobbies.
