long weekend

Friday, August 29, 2008
So, last weekend of the summer. And thinking on where it went, I immediately go to 'when did it start?'. The entire northern hemisphere has had a pretty much bullshit summer, at least as far as temperature goes, and this weekend looks to be no different.

I start a new job on Tuesday, so for the first time in a long time, this labour day weekend is actually a long weekend for me since I have said goodbye to shift work. I am looking forward to my family having a more normal lifestyle, and at least my daughter knowing when I'll be in and out for a change. But now that its pending, I find myself thinking less about the new job and the rigamorole that it will entail, and more about what a change it is going to be being home in the evenings and weekends all the time, and whether I will be raining on Superwife's parade as much as I think I will be.

And did you catch that I used the word rigamarole just now?

a full calendar

Tuesday, August 19, 2008
I hardly ever update this thing anymore. Damn you twitter, and your concise method of communicating!

I just updated my Google work calendar to reflect the new job I start in a few weeks, and because its a day job, working Mon-Fri, the damn thing is now full of entries that say ' WORK' on them. So many more entries than this long time shift worker is used to seeing. It's almost like every day from Monday to Friday has this nasty little tag on it that indicates that I have to be somewhere other than enjoying time off or sleeping between shifts. Oh, wait. Its exactly like that.

Yes, I am looking forward to better pay, no 12 hour shifts, a more normal routine, and an increase in at least the potential to mate with my wife. But this having to come into work so often thing. This is going to take some getting used to.

It almost would have been worth it to go to Comic Con just to see this
