Re: only 8 more hours
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 9:22 PMThis is the very reason I work overnight now. I'm parked here with a heat wrap around my neck and another around my lower back. The beauty of overnight is no need to put on a happy face, no need to go without my trusty heat packs, and no need to go without my very trusty pain medications. How in the world did I ever manage to go without these things at work before I switched over to the graveyard shift I'll never really know. -

Sat, April 26, 2008 - 1:31 PMDo it girl. I work flex hours as a technical writer. It sucks when I have deadlines, but at least I can sleep during the day.
Hope you feel better!

Re: only 8 more hours
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 10:20 AMI'd be grateful if we had a Starbucks around here, but for now, I have to buy it at the grocery store and brew it at home. Which is a good thing now. I just got an offer for a new job... working from home! It's late hours 2p to 10p, so no early mornings and no miserable commute with rude people who don't understand headlights and turn signals! Plus, I have a pretty good ergonomic set up with my desk at home. I've worked in plenty of call centers that are just so terribly uncomfortable. But bless all of you who have to run around all day. I've had my share of that and I'm not sure which is worse, being strapped to a phone and yelled at for getting up to pee or not being able to sit for a moment. I'm so thrilled that now I have the best of both worlds. No one is going to yell if I stand up and stretch while I'm talking!
Sorry for rambling. I'm so excited about the new job. I just hope it works out for me. Please keep your fingers crossed that I can do it!
