Hello there, lovely hoomans!
I just got time to post a blog here again. My shift has changed from opening to mid-shift this time. I haven't experienced this before since I started at the opening since my first company. This new body clock is surelt unfamiliar and I just explored it last night.
Back then, if we could only choose our preferred shift, I wouldn't really go for midnight or morning shifts. Aside from there's no public transportation at that hour, I'm also confused how the daily shifts work. Let's say for example, at midnight shift for Sunday and you have a rest day on Saturday. Instead of having a rest fay completely, you still have to prepare for work late at night just to start your next shift on midnight which already counted as Sunday.
I don't know if I just have a lot on my mind lately, so it's hard for me to process or I only resist it that much. I'm so used to have that 8pm or 9pm shifts. This new system is quite hard to digest. But anyway, I'm a slave for money, so I still went and work. LOL.
My lunches previously would be exactly at midnight, so it kinda feels like I'm turning the day into night, literally. Now, I'm not sure what dimension I'm placed anymore. I couldn't eat with my friends since they have a different schedule and reshuffled to different teams.
Even the pantry is empty at this hour, since most of the employees are going home at 5 am already. I just realized it completely why I strongly opposed this shift —I'm alone. Workloads are heavy but friends made it lighter when they're around.
I'm often proud to be introvert but maybe I'm just so used to their lively presence that not being with them making me miss them that much. We've been together for months, it's quite hard to just go on without nothing happened. Even the only friend left with me in this new account have been separated with me and placed on a different team. We still see rach other and communicates via Teams but it hits different when we're together. Now, I'm literally a slave for money. I can only work, eat, and sleep, repeat on this state.
There's still a chance that the schedule would change later on. (1) If there's a new batch of trainees coming in the production, and (2) if management reshuffles again to meet business demands. I wouldn't have high hopes with this, though. This happens after a few months depending on KPI scores of Monthly reports.
Another reason why I don't like this shift is the sun! It's already scorching hot after end of shift. It's summer now, you know. High heat index is waving everyday and my sickly fragile body can't handle too much heat or a simple cold. Well, good luck to me from hereon. I think I'll be having many rants about this moving forward.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by to read this more like a rant than a blog. Have a great day, people! ✨🌻
