Back in the Saddle Again

I'm not dead, woo. The antibiotics seem to be quite effective thus far and I've been feeling better every day since starting to take them. Hooray.

Anyway, schedule time for this upcoming week; it's gonna be ugly.

Monday - 20:00 to 24:00 (4 hours)
Tuesday - 0:00 to 8:00 and 15:30 to 24:00 (20.5 hours)
Wednesday - 15:30 to 24:00 (29 hours)
Thursday - 0:00 to 6:00 and 15:30 to 24:00 (43.5 hours)
Friday - 0:00 to 8:00 and 15:30 to 24:00 (60 hours)

Hahahahaha. I just redid this and I'm laughing a lot at how this worked out. Working 14+ hours for three days? Woo, yeah right. It seemed way more realistic without anything on Friday, but now it just seems grotesque and hilarious. Working on Friday night sucks but I can probably shave things considering there is nothing during actual business hours except on Tuesday and Saturday. Let's see if I can pare it down a little so I'm not dead at the end of the week:

Monday - 20:00 to 24:00 (4 hours)
Tuesday - 0:00 to 6:00 and 18:00 to 24:00 (16 hours)
Wednesday - 18:00 to 24:00 (22 hours)
Thursday - 0:00 to 6:00 and 18:00 to 24:00 (34 hours)
Friday - 15:30 to 24:00 (42.5 hours)
Saturday - 11:30 to 16:00 (47 hours)

This seems a little more realistic. Not as much overtime, but I feel my sanity is worth a certain amount. Still no Friday night, but eh, Saturday night's just as good. Then there's a matter of getting Brian to cover for me...

I'll probably shave a couple hours off of Wednesday afternoon and Tuesday morning, but I should still get some nice overtime. Now I have to decide whether I want to comp it for future time off or just get paid some extra cash. Probably the former, since I just got a raise anyway and it seems I've been keeping my head above water pretty well despite my holiday splurging.

In other news, my good pal Andy Larson seems to have acquired a job with NavAir in southeastern Maryland. The location he'd be working is approximately four hours by driving from where I am currently, on to the coast near Washington, DC. This is a pretty exciting prospect, considering all the people who I know back home are mainly still back home, and this would be a good opportunity to head down to DC and check out the digs there.
