    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....

    A week off from night shift...bliss!
    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.

    You'll find something to do. Clean house. Drive mom around. Try a new recipe.... :smile:

    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.

    Also, this week's wildlife sighting was a racoon that waddled through the parking last night.

    Big storms rolling through here. Expecting 14 inches of snow tonight. Got six last night. The skiing should be great. :smile:

    I have 12 hrs to go...lol

    Yuk, more bloody snow here but temperatures mean it's nasty in the valley. 0 to -2C then melting with highs of 8C by the afternoon again. Hubby & I want to go away for our 35th anni. but seems like every night all the major highways are under snow warning and travel alerts. It will be last minute plans for sure. At least maybe the hot springs 3 hours from us.

    Ew. Temps have been in the 70s all week here, but it's dropping now, and I heard it was supposed to snow today or tomorrow. Bleck!

    I have also seen a couple of stray cats at work, but I'm sadly finding they are not interesting in being petted. *sad panda*

    Night one of three almost over. Just got a good workout in. Started snowing, although I think we are expecting only about one inch. Hope everyone is having a good night and staying safe.

    They asked me if I'd pick up some extra hours covering a special event at the city art museum this week. It looks they're gonna have a regular contract here for about the next six week, and my boss thinks it's a good gig for me. I don't know yet what they're gonna do, but this place is pretty cool!

    Good for you Jen. Sounds like a fun gig.

    @BodyByBex -sounds like a great opportunity, congrats!

    WooHoo! Congrats Bex!
    Black ice meant cautious travel home tonight. Wet roads from snowmelt and sleetiness earlier today and temps of 0C. Yuk.
    Supposed to get up to 11C for the next couple days... heading away for the weekend Sun-Wed to celebrate our 35th anniversary at an Icelandic Horse farm by a hot spring. Planning a tour of an artisanal cidery too. It's supposed to rain the whole time, but whatevah!

    @BodyByBex WOOHOO!!!!!!!! On everything!

    It's currently snowing outside but not sticking to the roads. It's looks really pretty though. I'm not digging the fact that it's 33F out; I want 70s and 80s back. Of course it won't be too long before I start complaining that it's too hot/humid out :lol:

    Yes I did. Last night was anything but boring. Pretty sure I burned some calories here at work tonight. Now I'm ready for bed, but not going to happen for a few more hours. I have to take my daughter to the dr for and MRI for her migraines. Curious...what schedules are followed for working out? and eating? When you log here do you log from midnight or from YOUR am? Hope my questions make sense.

Welcome!
