  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There are two different shifts here where I work. One that I have been working is the 7am to 3:30pm shift, and the one I am working today is the 9am to 5:30pm shift.
I have been trying to figure out which one is better. I am not really a morning person, at all. It isn't that I am grumpy or anything, I just don't think that my brain works that well in the morning. It works okay in the afternoon, and sometimes even when I stay out late, but the morning is when I like to space out. It reminds me of in "office space" where the main character says that he comes to work and spaces out for about an hour.
I kinda do that, but I just slowly read my e-mail, because nobody really ever calls in the morning. If they do it is usually because they forgot the password to login to their machine and can't do anything.&nbsp; You would think that since people know they have forgotten their password before they would write it down somewhere, but I guess most people think we know their passwords or something. I try to not memorize people's passwords since I have my own to keep track of. (:-P)&nbsp;What was I talking about? Oh, the schedule.... We also have these new schedules that allow for one day off every two weeks if you work 9 hour days (AWS or CWS depending on the people you talk to).&nbsp; We aren't supposed to do this of course. My program manager asked specifically if we could, but our asshole of a government contract manager said we couldn't. S0o, we keep it on the hush. (sshhh don't tell anyone hehe) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think it is funny because these people are gone (not with that much frequency mind you since we only have like... 6 people of which only four ppl are on the AWS/CWS) and we cannot tell anyone it is their day off.&nbsp;Luckily the government workers are not really suspicious or they just don't care enough to see what is happening.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At least with this week I could go out to bars if I wanted. It is hard to go out at night when you get tired at ten o clock. I like the night life baby. Who knows where this will lead me? I certainly don't know at least I will have time to work on my term paper this week. The topic? systems engineering and the system of government, in Russia. It really is interesting when I was researching it.
The hard part is making it relate to systems engineering. I figure I can say that Russia's former system of government (a.k.a. communist) failed due to lack of engineering practices in its making, giving away to a systematically created democratic government. Or something like that, it is due Friday so I guess I will see how it turns out! 10 pages, wish me luck!
