Doing so for the eight-hour Saturday shift is evidently worse.
Doing so for a six and a half and a six hour shift back-to-back with half an hour of breathing room in between?
So, yeah.
The only day this week I wasn't working was Thursday, and that's my busy day. I was working the standard 6 hour shift on Monday, then came in two hours early for an eight hour shift on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I worked the standard 8 hour Saturday. I worked a double shift Sunday (which wound up being 8 to 8 today, instead of the usual 8 to 9).
This next week, I come in early for 8 hour shifts Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, work the standard 8 hour Saturday shift, then pull a double shift Sunday.
Then I'm going to work my dinky little 6 hour shifts Monday and Tuesday, then pack like mad on Wednesday so's I can fly off to Alaska on Thursday.
Where does seeing my best friend fit in there, anyway?
It's a conspiracy, I tell you.
