    Doing ok. My work hours will change soon. I will be working from 5pm to 3:30am!. 4 ten hour days so I will have an extra day off.

    My mom was cremated so we were going to have the internment this summer. But with Corona, that has been put off until next year. It seem kind of thoughtless to put off the internment for such a long time. But mom will understand
    To get flowers, you need more than sunshine, you need chit and rain too

    I know she will understand. ((HUGS))
    I loved those hours, for a few years, I worked 6 pm to 6 am, it was wonderful, quiet, no supervisors breathing down your neck. I spent at least 25 years working 2nd, 3rd shift and weekends, it left my days free, didn't need to take off time for appointments, was able to take my mom to the Dr without begging for time off, we went to lunch and took care of her shopping. Could be the first person in line to get my oil changed so a 15 min oil change was really 15 min and not an hour. Grocery shopping when no one was there but stockers. Just be out in the sun. I can't figure out why so many people wanted their weekends, most of them spent it watching TV sitting at home anyway. I liked getting off work with the sunrise, I've probably seen more of them than most people. When I finally went to M-F 8-4:30 I hated it, OMG the clicks, office politics, everyone rushing around, noise, traffic, shopping with a mob of people, supervisors watching your every move, I was not near as productive or happy as I was after hours.

    Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
