My work schedule

Two days in the office, one day at home, 2 days in the office - hello weekend!!

This is my typical work schedule. Due to the fact that I work my butt off all week and still manage 3 full classes in my "spare time," mangement has granted me 1 day a week to work at home, thereby saving me the extra time to shower and commute before my day starts. This comes in handy around finals when I can use that extra time early in the morning to study while the house is still quiet. However, because of the holidays, I was off work for 2 entire weeks. I didn't think about, dream about, nor have any desire to go to work. I learned to stay up late and sleep even later. My sleeping pattern morphed from 10pm-6:30am to midnight-9am or even 10:30am one day. I'm not a good sleeper, so that was a biggie for me!

With 2 weeks off, and my sleeping schedule out of whack, I knew this first week back at work was going to be rough. By Wednesday, I was seriously dragging, wondering if I would make it to the end of the week alive. I've been at work every day for 4 days in a row - I think tomorrow I'll work from home. I truly miss my pajamas...

This morning I realized I haven't been in the backyard for 4 days - that means, potentially, my cabbage and brussel sprout seedlings may have died without water and I wouldn't even know it. I filled a pitcher, headed out, and saw that they are, happily, just fine. Dodged another bullet - the life of an 'outside the home' worker bee.
