    On my middle night of three... and tomorrow (today) gets to be a 14 hr one... oh boy..

    I get up at 10 pm and finally get to go to sleep around 4 pm. I have three little kids at home 5 yo and under. I only get to sleep at 4 bc my 14 yo comes home and watches them till my husband gets home. But I sleep about 12 hours my first night off.

    I would rather ride in the rain or in sub freezing temps than ride the stationary bikes. Unfortunately, my work schedule makes it so I can't always ride on the road so I got a really good one with a lot of adjustments. That keeps my seat, hips and shoulders from hurting. Hip pain is usually a seat too high. Knee pain is usually a seat too low.

    He got one that adjusts a lot too; thank you for the advice bc I know very little about riding and what's more comfy. :+1:

    Hi new peeps!! I'm a nightshifter who switched to days and it sucks *kitten*

    I'm a glutton for punishment as I'm working OT today.

    You're broken....


    Normally don't work Wednesday nights but we had qualifications for firearms so I'm covering. They gave me Friday night off in exchange. Don't know what I'll do with a Friday night off...I haven't had one in a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNG time....

    Must be nice...

    Our Night Animal Techs work 8 days straight(10 hours) and then get 6 days off. I want THAT schedule!

    They work Wednesday to Wednesday. I think it's beautiful.

    But maybe I only think I want it because I don't have it. Then again, I have worked 12 hour days for 10 days straight before and only having 2 days off after that was not enough.

    I always spend them sleeping! Except this week, when I agreed to work some extra hours. Good thing Spring break is next week.

    'Good mornin' all, lol. Starting set of nights tonight.... glad I had 4 nights off as I am sore and exhausted and tummy keeps randomly acting up. Something niggling in the back of my head tells me maybe I should get tested for parasites... not feeling up to par since we got back from 3 wks in Jamaica in December (and no, we didn't stay at all-inclusives).
    Here's hopes for healthy pets and healthy co-workers this week.

    Lots of storms moving through just north of where I am. It rained really hard for about 20 minutes.
