A Dirty Job

From bond trader to nightclub bouncer, to security guard in a lockdown project for recovering alcoholics, junkies and inmates. Somebody has to do it. Might as well be me.

Shifts.
Saturday, 15 September 2007

The new work beings Monday; I'm going in at 3pm, with Edmonson, for a briefing/tour of the new location, and then we'll both be working that night's shift, with the area manager (joy). He'll do Tuesday and Wednesday, and then I'm on for my three days from Thursday.

I have no expectations yet, as I don't really know what to expect. My only concern is adjusting to the new sleep patterns. My shift is 10pm-9am, and so as I typically have a problem winding down immediately after work, most work 'nights' I won't be going to bed until 10am. This could be kinda awkward.

In other news, I'm giving serious thought to using some of my spare day-time to do a home study degree. I quite fancy criminology, to be honest, and have done for a while. It'll certainly fit nicely in with my current career, and as I'm giving serious thought to joining the police force on the right side of my fortieth birthday it'll expedite the old application process there, as well. One assumes.
