not another work post..

apologies, but this will be yet another work post. i've had one of those monster weeks, being at the plant 11-12 hours every night.. and could not be more grateful that the weekend is finally here! but here's the thing, you know you're spending way too much time at work when..

• you turn to the babe basking in afterglow and half-asleepily smirk ".. and that is what a Line 1 changeover is all about!"


• you're talking on the phone with your parents and catch yourself using walkie-talkie lingo like: "what's your twenty?" and "ten-four, copy that"


• you are shopping at the store and every bottle in your cart has been carefully inspected to see if the cap went on right or if the torque needs to be adjusted


• on the weekends you find yourself staring bug-eyed at the clock at 4 a.m. cos the body can't adjust back to normal-people-time from nightshift-time


• you calculate and start drawing spreadsheets in your head every time you open the refrigerator and look at the food and drink, and their quantities, expiry dates and when you will need more
