Night Shift: Part 2

So it's Thursday, the fourth day of my night shift and I am beat. I thought I was doing good last night but I think it was the half tub of ice cream that kept me awake all night. Today I have a pounding headache and my eyes hurt like someone has socked me. I have horrid dark circles under my eyes and can think of nothing but my bed or a couch or just any flat surface I can lie down on and go to sleep.

I don't know how the guys running around all night in the field are surviving. If I was doing their job, by this time I would be ready to quit the job but I guess they are busy so the time seems to go faster.

To add to the misery, we just received the schedule for next week and I am back on nights. The boss is still sorting it out but if I do have to do it I really need to figure out a way to tackle this.

Update: Its saturday, I got through a week of night shifts(6 days) today,guess I can survive another week though a break from this would be most welcome.
