I hate my new schedule. I had the perfect 9am-5pm shift and I changed it to 3pm-1am because the allure of having 6 straight days off in a row every 7 weeks was too great and I could not resist. But in the meantime, I am suffering.

I was used to getting up early, eating early, sleeping at a decent time. I need routines. I am obsessive compulsive. Routines are essential, like air. Now that my routine is interupted, my body needs to get used to everything, and it is not pleasant.

And I thought I would be able to get stuff done during the day, before work. But now I can't even get out of bed until 11am, and by the time I get a shower and eat it is already almost time to leave for work. I can't see my friends at night anymore either. And I hate waiting to eat dinner until after 8:30pm. I get dizzy and sick. And After being at work for 8 hours, my mind loses its sharpness, my intelligence fades as the night wears on. I work a 10 hour shift, at a job where making a mistake could put someone's life in danger, so this is a huge problem.

I don't know if I will be able to change my schedule back. I have to talk to one of the managers tomorrow. I don't know what I will do if I can't change it back :(
