"he flooded the land then he set it on fire"

I have been on a set, second shift schedule for about two months now, and I am becoming nocturnal again. I don't get home until midnight, can't sleep till 3ish. Set the alarm for 8:30 but don't react to it consciously until closer to 10:30. From there I have just enough time to go to the gym, shower and head to work for 3. I don't eat at home anymore. I haven't cleaned in weeks (which shouldn't matter considering I live with two other people who both have hands). I can't wait until next week. First shift for a while. Once the car is fixed, second won't be too bad. Car=morning motivation and about two extra hours per day to be productive. The upside: I am reading again. Currently: Dan Brown "The Lost Symbol" Next Up: Awaiting Assignment.

"You were gonna make me choose"

A plan is in place. One week from today starts training. It is an "at my pace" kinda training, so if I apply myself, I can be shift lead in a week, sr. shift lead in another week and assistant manager in another week. So, theoretically, I will have a 3.50 raise in a month. Score. Since my pathetic salary that I am "living" on now barely pays my bills, in four weeks I will be able to do a number of things. Grocery shopping, for one. Fixing my car...finally! Paying back everyone. I can not wait to feel this weight lift off of my back.
