Well I have learn to appreciate the days that I get off so much more. I thought I was going to work tonight but found out the schedule was changed. Yes, it is a waste of gas to get there and find that I am not working. But the idea of staying home and relaxing for the night is so much more worth the excitment of coming home. Since I work 6 nights a week between two jobs. My one day off is usually sleeping or staying awake as long as I can to do the things I haven't gotten too. But two days off oh boy. I am awake and enjoying the time off. Most likely I will not sleep tonight but oh well I have had 24 hours of sure bliss of nothing but my time.
I sure miss the days when I just worked 3 days a week for 12 hours and had the rest of the days of the week off. Thanks to that schedule I was able to go to school full time and get my licenses as a Vocational Nurse. But never having to take a sick day, comp time or vacation was nice. I just spend my time doing whatever. I am looking forward to those days once again. Some day soon I will have that schedule again. I never took it for granted when I did because I knew that I would eventually come back to 8 hours day grind once again.
Funny, when I was so use of 8 hours a day, I went kicking and screaming going to 12 hours. After a year of doing the shift I wouldn't have had it any other way. Your week is done and over with if you did them in a row. You could plan things around family event's, after school stuff with kids. The day care was so much simplier.
Well I know that I am looking forward to those days again in my future. Hmmm what a nice day off.
