Just like Christmas - well, sort of
I went to bed late last night and was still very tired when I got up this morning. I had a full day in the works and knew I wasn't going to get back home until 8:30 PM tonight.
Today did not start out well. I try to plan for myself as little down time in the morning as possible, because if I don't I may never get out to go to work. What went wrong? The new gallon of milk I bought three days ago was sour, even though the "use before" date said Jan. 17. One spoonful of my ceral and I knew the milk was bad. No breakfast for me. No time now.
My work schedule has changed back to a normal 5 day work week instead of a four day work week. So I no longer have Mondays off but in exchange I get out of work every day at 4:00 PM. It is still light when I get out, and that is wonderful.
I had my meeting with the man tonight. We went over my assignment that I agonized over last night and he showed me ways to improve it. Then we looked at some job sites and postings on the internet that I had selected as part of my assignment. I have another meeting a week from tonight and yet another homework assignment. This week's assignment builds off of last week's assignment, so it should be easier and less stressful to do.
Then at 7:00 I went to my Bible Study group, which sadly is my main social outing of the week. We are studying in the book of John in chapter 16.
Because I felt tired this morning, I told myself that when I got home tonight that I would not turn on my computer and check my email - or go on blogger. I told myself that I would just go to bed. But the anticipation of getting mail, even e-mail and reading the comments left on blogger for what I have written is just too much temptation to resist. PLUS I eagerly scroll down through my blog reading list to see what goodies you all have left is too big of a temptation to resist. Then, since I'm already logged in, I might as well take a few and leave a post for you.
Nothing fantastic today. Maybe tomorrow.

Sorry, my last comment was supposed to be here... but I find it very funny that I accidentally put it under something titled "How Scary Are You?" Ha ha ha. I cracked up when I noticed that!
Going from 10's to normal takes some time to adjusting to so good luck.
I've been there. About the only thing worse is going from midnights to a day shift-have done that more times than I'd like to count.
This is the first time in 10 years that I've had a chance at an occassional weekend where I'm not working. So, I can definitely relate to unusual work hours. I'm glad you have a better schedule now. One of the reasons why I resigned from my last job was just feeling always on the clock. Sure, I have Open Houses every once in awhile, but that's just a couple of hours late in the afternoon. CONGRATS!
A day without internet connection for me is hell. I hate it. I need it.
Clearly I have no life.
