Perpetual Ruminations

Tuesday

It's just going to have to be a short entry tonight, I don't have much for time, and I'm beat. I worked the afternoon shift today, and it was a long day. It was cold out, rain, sleet, and wind, lots of traffic, and it's just along shift.

Not that it's really that long of a shift, it's the same as my morning shift, six hours. But, it takes twenty hours for those six hours to pass, and that's on a good day. I remember one time, it took almost a week for them sic hours to drag past. It's just backwards, too. I mean, being so busy, the time should fly by. But no way, it doesn't matter if it's busy or dead, the afternoon crawls by slower than  cold molasses out of a narrow necked bottle.

And, it's only me. Other guards like the afternoon shift. In fact, many request it, or have requested it, because it's passes so quickly. Most of the others dislike my morning shift because it's so slow in the mornings, and time drags by. Not for me, I keep busy with things and it passes by quick.

Anyway, I'm beat, and I'm going to enjoy a beverage and then bed.
