Thank goodness things have calmed down a bit since I got in - seriously, it's been insane for the past couple of hours. Although some of the quiet now is due to the fact the phones aren't working properly and people can't use the general purpose phone number to get to us - we've got someone working on it now. Hopefully there haven't been too many deaths in the meantime. O.O And it was horrendous last night - nine reports of deaths, around 20 domestic violence orders. Gah.
I've worked out why the second shift is harder than the first - it's because I don't get much in the way of downtime between. I finish at 6am, get home around 6.45-7am and pass out until around 2pm. And then I get up, shower, eat, and get ready to go back to work by 5pm. Three hours isn't a lot of time to get the brain awake and relaxed, I can tell you. :P
I've been using my mobile phone as an alarm clock since it's easier to set than my antique clock radio - seriously, I've had the thing since high school. So yeah, don't call or SMS me the day after a night shift? Cause the beeping and the phone vibrating along the bedside table will wake me up. And if it's half an hour after I've gotten to bed, it will not go well with you. Email's best for the night shift times.
Nothing from HR or the boss about my time off - I'll probably get something during the days off. *wry* Which start tomorrow, whee! Need to find an all-day brekkie place, whee! Since I'll sleep until 3pm, wh-- okay, maybe not whee! to that. ;)
