It's Friday and I've finished one week of doing broken shifts at my job on the trams, as well as juggling my other job at Big W and I'm glad it's one week done.
The good thing about this particular deployment is the fact that I have no set shift per se-rather I have been given suggested shift times and a finish date of Friday the 13th. Basically I need to do 5 AM and 5 PM shifts at this godawful place known as Domain Interchange.
The downside to all this is trying the best to juggle your time and appointments etc. For example; I've now realised that I've double booked myself next Monday so I have to ring up and cancel my haircut (it's getting waaay to shaggy).
But I'll be honest; what I do like about this deployment is seeing if I run into anyone I know and I have. People often say when I chat with them when they are at their work it breaks the monotony down and I can understand it.
In the last 3 days I've seen this one particular guy go through (I have no idea who it is came to think of it) the stop and he always gives me a bit of a way. Lately- with the cold weather- I've been pretending (or not) to be freezing; and he's been pretending to be boiling hot.
Little things like that breaks the time and it makes the day go faster.
