Life is back to normal again this November in the morning shift. It feels great to wake up early in the morning when the air is fresh and you feel all the energy gushing into every parts of your body, prompting you to work efficiently and live your life happily. The last time I remember living this way was last year July, when I was still in another Department in EG.
I’ve realized today that the kind of life I have been leading ever since I graduated from college was dictated by work. And the most obvious factor is work schedule. When I moved to community August last year, I started working in the Graveyard Shift (11PM-8AM) for about three months and moved to Midshift (3PM-12MD) for the better part of my GM life. There were some sudden changes in the schedule, like moving back and forth from the vampire shift to Midshift again, add to that, the occasional overtime work that I have to render for events in the provinces and far places. It’s a fantastic kind of work, it absorbs you, eats most of your time, provides for more than your normal stress intake, but it’s the kind of job that makes you feel satisfied at the end of the day— even amidst a complex schedule.
The thing about changing schedules is that it also changes your way of life: life is in its most normal state when you work in the normal shift, you go to the office and go back home the same time the majority of working professionals do; when you work from 3PM-12MD, you can’t watch primetime tv shows but you can still go to sleep before the sun goes up; you work in the Graveyard Shift and you are pretty much a vampire, alive when the sun is down, with less social life and quality time with friends and family.
It’s a blessing in disguise being able to work again during the normal office hours, and though I don’t really know when it would end, it’s cool to note that once in a while, I get to taste the bliss of a well-prepared breakfast and the trouble of getting yourself into congested buses just to get home.
Now I’m stuck with Gelo and JP and Charms and Bea and the other naughty people in the AM Shift…
Good Morning!
