Short Weekend

08-06-2010 Friday

Work had a little surprise for me when I logged in on my computer. Our schedule for next week is already posted and guess what, we'll only have one rest day for this week. Sweet. So we get off from work tomorrow, go to sleep at night, wake up the next day which is a Sunday then go to work again come night time.

I got two weeks. Two weeks is such a short time to take care of the things I need to do before I go on my long leave. Things have to be settled first, one of the most important probably is trying to find a place where we can all live together, Alex, gramma, me and my dear pets. I don't think we can all live in the house where we currently stay because it's very near our church and I know it wouldn't look good for everyone to see that Alex is living with us.

I've talked to my gramma earlier. I wanted to stay where we live right now and I know she does too but as much as we would like that, both of us know it's probably not gonna work. She said she'll try to look for some houses open to be rented around our area. I told her I'll also try to look for one in Manila then, we can decide where we can all stay. She asked me if Alex is willing to continue listening to our religion's preachings if he's gonna live with us and I told her yes even though I haven't ask Alex about it yet. I had a feeling it'll be easier to convince him now.

I've been thinking about all this as I stare blankly at my posted schedule on the computer monitor. My colleagues are talking about drinking after we get off from work later to make the most out of our one-day rest day. For a moment, I envy them. All they can think about is having fun, getting wasted, acting brainless for the short weekend while here I am, raking my brain on how I can fix my life in such a short period of time.

Short weekend=BAD

I wish Alex would pick me up tomorrow. Maybe I can sleep for an hour or two before going to New World Laboratory for some lab test, then afterwards, visit my doctor in Chinese General hospital. Just thinking about what's ahead of me tomorrow is making me feel tired already. From what I can envision, I'm not gonna have much sleep in the morning, I'd be too damn drained in the evening and chances are, I might skip a meal for being too busy.

Oh gasp! I'm forgetting one more thing. The laundry. When I left the house yesterday, the laundry bin is overflowing with used clothes and I kept on urging Alex to wash them before the damn bin explodes. He always says yes he'll do it for days now and I would always go home and find it still undone. With one rest day ahead, I know I wouldn't be able to do the laundry on my own. I'm hoping so bad it's all taken care of when I go home tomorrow but I'm not really counting on it.

Boys=Laundry? IMPOSSIBLE

Ok, I'm gonna have to take my first break for this day. On a positive note, with my new team, I have a good shift. I start at 7 in the evening, and go out at 4 in the morning. The best time ever! We have long wait time in between calls. And time flies with this kind of schedule. It makes things more bearable at work.

That's it, bye for now, gotta grab some coffee to stay alive.
