Sooooooo I started the new job on Saturday night (the 25th) at midnight. Midnights, by the way, blow dogs for quarters. It's not the fact that they're really slow (they are) or that your shift covers the entire span of oh-dark-thirty (it does). It's that when you're not used to them, they destroy your sleep schedule. I think I've got a decent handle now on when I need to sleep, wht time i need to go to sleep, get up, etc. Those first few though, wow. I don't think I've ever been so tired in all my life. The 4 to midnight shift is waaaaay better which is nice because that will be my shift once I'm done with training. All the cops have been great though, they're all sort of catering their radio speech to the fact that I'm training, which is really helping me out. Aside from the reams of paperwork one has to fill out for a town job, it's great. I'm so happy working there and hopefully it will only get better as I get settled and learn the job more. Nothing else really new or exciting...the Super Bowl is on my birthday again, which is always cool. Unfortunately I have to work that night at midning too so I'll have to cater my sleep routine around that. My little sister's birthday is the next day and we're going out for that which will be nice because I almost never get to go out and get my drink on anymore. I guess that's about it for now. Hopefully you're hear from me again in less than a month's time since I never think to write in here...
