a new shift

Last month we were told our work schedules were changing. I am moving to a graveyard shift, something I haven't had to do since I was working at Safeway back in 1997 when I was 20 and had absolutely nothing in my life that was worth getting up in the morning for.

So what will I do to get through this? I will make the best of it, and to do that, I have come up with my graveyard shift survival kit. It consists of:

backpack from Columbia Sportswear
2 - 3 novels, which will change when I am done with one.
Sony PSP w/ games
Nintendo DS Lite /w games
Study material for whatever certifications I try to work on during this time
Caffeine in pill form
Music in the form of mp3s on a dvd.
Chewing gum to help keep me awake while driving

My sleeping schedule is going to be absolutely fucked during the week. Sleep may become a luxury I don't get that often, which is fine because I am used to that. I figure I will keep going like this until I completely burn out and end up crashing the car doing 90 on I-5 cause I fell asleep at the wheel.
