how's it like working my shift...

hmm....
as most of u know bout my shift/working hours... i'll explain it here again... we call it the Compressed Shift of 4334 (or u can call it 3443)
here's how it is..
there's 2 groups - we call it group A and group B
lets say for group A
Week 1 - work 4 days, off 3 days
Week 2 - work 3 days, off 4 days
Week3 - work 4 days, off 3 days.. and so on...
so the days that group A is off, that's when group B works... kapish? hope so.. hahahah
currently i'm in group A (Sun, Mon, Tue and alternate Wed)... and in Jan 09, i'll change to group B (alternate Wed then Thurs, Fri, Sat)... am not so keen on group B cause usually ppl will ajak go out on fri, sat....sigh.. but its ok, dad's making noise on why i'm always working on Sunday... (Sabbah day it seems - day of rest!)
how's it like anyway... well... for one, there's nothing much i can do on my work days... after work, go home, eat if there's dinner and watch tv till eyes cannot open... or online till eyes cannot open (even so, i don't know why i don't have the mood to blog.. sorry guys)
during our 12 hr shift, we have 1hr lunch (not that anyone keeps to that 1hr - they self acclaim 1.5 hrs - but not me. if i can make it in 1hr why not them??) and we have 1hr dinner (the same about what i said bout lunch - ppl like taking 1.5 hrs..but that's another rant to blog about). and it's between 9am to 9pm.. traffic going to work.. bareable.. but could be better, traffic going home, nice! but then sometimes the bridge will close one lane and there'll be a minor jam...
now, on my off days.... half the time, i got to come back to work to replace someone and gain some OT... which is... TIRING!! but i'm that type of person, job first! (until i'm too tired).. unlike some ppl....
ok so on my off days, as what i did once, i went to Pulau Perhentian... no need to take AL!! yeah!! and other days, i sleep till 12+ pm, sometimes i do some "official" errands to places that only open 9-5 mon-fri, sometimes i pamper myself at a mall.... other days, i stay home... i had a record of 3 of my off days, i stayed home and did not go out at all!! yup, guess how much money and petrol i saved?? but on the 3rd day, i was getting restless!!
so that's it... yea... dad asked me to go exercise...
1- i'm still in debt and can't afford another 12 months installment on gym fees - dun ask y
2- i dun feel safe walking up Cherok Tokun
3- can't remember where Mengkuan Dam is
4- paiseh to jog/walk in my taman - lots of "foreigners"
5- no motivation.. i'm kinda in a depression phase, remember...
unless, someone can DRAG me out to exercise, maybe i will... but with my shift, who la will be free on a weekday? by the time everyone finishes work, it'll be 6+ something, and it's gonna be dinner time liau.. where wanna go exercise? and even if they do, they'll do it on a weekend, where i'm WORKING... so... clashing of the times...
(and i try not to stay out too late, eating or partying on a sat nite cause i work on sundays)
i'm much of a loner now.... on my off days, if i had a book, i'll go to my fav mall, have a meal/drink and sit there reading a book for an hr or two, or go watch a movie alone (afternoon movies are cheaper), window shopping alone.... oh well, i'm getting used to it, but it'll be nice if i could have some company sometimes...
so that's my life right now... :s
sad? sometimes... but sometimes not really too! :)
