Max: Things That Don't Suck

Fridays don't suck and not just because it is the last day before the weekend. Mon-Thurs, I work 12:00-20:30. Most people would hate that shift because it is so late. I hate it because it is so early. There have been periods of my life when I have been a morning person, but for the most part I am a creature of the night. Sometimes hauling my ass in here by noon takes some doing.

Friday is a different story. On Friday I work 15:30-00:00. On Friday, I can sleep until I wake up, hang around, play on the computer, read, watch TV and generally chill before diving into the working day. It also helps that we get almost no calls after 21:00.

This month is going to be a different story. A coworker who normally works 08:30-05:00 is taking a morning class through the end of June. As I am such a swell guy, I gave up my beloved Friday late shift for him, agreeing to actually get up at the Spaghetti Monster cursed hour of 06:30 to come in and work while that weird orange ball is still up in the sky. Although I volunteered for this torture, I was not looking forward to it.

Just now, I got a one day reprieve. Due to various circumstance, my boss wants me to work 14:00-22:30 on the 20th. My self imposed sentence was just reduced by a full 25%.

And that does not suck.
