Today was nutty. Last night, I went to bed at about 23:00, and slept until after 13:00 on Monday, waking up for a few minutes a couple times in between. It was 14 hours of sleep. I needed it after the gathering. But now, after a day at work, I'm tired again. Will sleep again soon.

I arrived at work at 15:30. Turns out that the schedule said my shift today was to begin at 13:30, so I was 2 hours late. Doh. Either I read the schedule wrong last week, or it was changed while I was away without me being informed -- either of which is possible, but I suspect the former, merely because my name is no longer at the bottom of the list (as I had become accustomed to), and last week I quickly glanced at it for only 2 seconds due to the snowstorm insanity, and made mental note to "be here Monday at the usual time".

Well, there's a reason my name is no longer at the bottom of the list. There's a new hire now. He worked there for about a week last fall before quitting to do another job (ski rentals, which is seasonal of course, so it's at its end), but they hired him back on because he learned it all really quick and is a good worker.

So due to my lapse, he and I had both come in for the same shift today. It didn't present too much of a problem though. I just did the nomal tasks of 1:30-10:00 shift, but during the later timeslot, and also helped out and reminded him of anything he might not know or have forgotten. Now I find myself being asked many of the same sorts of questions I used to ask everyone else back when I was a newbie. Wierd.

Tomorrow though, I will definitely be there at the earlier timeslot as printed on the schedule. In addition to the fact that I'm feeling excessively tired, that's a good reason to go to bed now.

Head compressing, brain full of clouds, eyes droopy, mind winding down. This is a good sign, because if I were still feeling wired to the max, it could mean bad things. Anyway...

My life is a blank page full of scratches and smudges. Goodnight.
