Time flies when you're having fun... or sleep-deprived

For the first seven weeks of this project we were working nights, from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. to better correspond with normal American business hours. Suddenly for some unknown reason we got switched to days 8-5 for a week and then, just as our bodies were getting used to the new schedule, we got switched back to nights again. Except that, after one three-day class it was Daylight Savings Time in the United States so classes started one hour earlier. For the remaining four classes in the next two weeks I will be training from 7:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. with a one-hour commute on both sides.

As a result my poor body doesn't know whether it is coming or going. Is it time to get up or time to go to sleep? Am I sleepy and I need to go to bed, or just tired? Is it time for dinner (just before going to work for the night) or time for breakfast (after work and just before going to sleep for the day) or is it just a snacky-hunger?

And the weird thing is that your "day" off is also from 7:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. and there's not a whole lot of sightseeing you can do at that time of day, and what there is might get you arrested!

The last few days I've been crashing right into bed when I get back in the morning, not going for a jog and not even eating breakfast. But I get a good dinner (even if it is afore-mentioned hors d'oeuvres in the Executive Lounge on the Concierge Floor) and then take along a sandwich and some fruit for our half-hour meal break at 11:15 p.m.

As a result I haven't published any new posts here in the blog since last week. One, I've been too tired; and two, I haven't done anything worth writing about!

But I think now my body is adjusting back to "normal" << whatever that is. Maybe we'll have news on a regular basis again soon?
