Randomness...
i've found that changing from the swing shift (3pm-11pm) to the day shift (7am-3pm) has it's ups n downs..
Swings (3pm-11pm)
+'s
----
-You can sleep whenever 'cuz..
-You can wake up whenever, and do whatever before you get to work..
-Doing whatever is usually stuff that's for yourself.. like shopping with no lines, no traffic.
-Eating out, if you do is usually lunch which is 5$-10$ unless you go all out..
-8.5% increase in pay for 70 of the 80 hours a paycheck.
-'s
----
-You've gotta wait for work.
-Sometimes you wake up whenever but that doesn't give you much time to do anything, those days i wake up at 11am, and only have about 3 hrs to do something till 2pm doesn't give you much.. AND you gotta eat lunch.
-You can't do 'group' people things.. dinners, hanging out, movies (like i watch movies..).
Days (7am-3pm)
+'s
----
-The day goes by fast.. real fast.. and thats good, get outta the vortex of evil as fast as you can!
-You can do group things, go out, n what not.
-From the time that your outta work (3pm) till when you go to sleep (10pm) you got 6-7hrs of things to do.
-'s
----
-You've gotta wake up at the crack of dawn.. and now i've learned that on my weekends i wake up at an early time which sucks. i used to get 8+hrs whichever way i slept..
-I can't shoot my rifle matches, i gotta scam ways to get the day off to go at it.
-No 8.5% shift differential pay
-More work, but it makes the time go by faster.
-I can't do the 'personal' things, gotta wait in lines at stores, in traffic (but thats usually nothing when your on a motorcycle, heh)
i'm still debating on staying on the 8hr/5days a week plan or go to the 12hr/3 or 4 day plan.. thats another negative/positive disscussion in itsown!
More Randomness..
i seem to be stuck in the mode of not buying anything anymore.. which is good, for me, bad for the credit cards. It seems that i've hit my limit of toys n what not. And some things that i do want, are of the $500+ range and that discourages me to get it, but i should but i haven't gotten to. I'm quite twisted ain't i? But! i don't mind buying things for other people who will pay me back. Like that whole tech support thing, i was all over the place buying motherboards, ram, HD's.. whatever.
i'm still looking for a laptop, but just not in the mood to go for the 1200-1400$ purchase. oh well, i guess i'll just gather interest or something on my money. I used to have this ebb n flow of buying n what not, one day i'd go for it, others i wouldn't pay for nothing. Now it seems like i ain't gonna pay for nothing.. Oh well.
I know i am going to buy:
-a Reloader and all it's accessories (big initial $$)
-a match upper reciever for the AR (but do i wanna? i should but eck..)
-a laptop.. i wanna ultra cheap but have ultra everything in it.. doesn't everybody want something like that? I'll wait until fusion power comes on tap so that production costs go way down.. heh..
one day.. one day..
