They switched me up to 12 hour nights, 6pm to 6:30am. Mostly at the request of a major outside contractor doing work through this shutdown - apparently they want me around to help with finding the right equipment and parts for critical path assignments, and they don't really like or trust anyone else - and the reality is, I AM the most knowledgeable down there - my knowledge surpasses my foremen and at times I wonder if I read drawings better than engineering, but I guess that's how it goes. It's annoying not having ANY time for myself, but if I really am working twelves because outside contractors were impressed, then I probably shouldn't complain. It's not exactly how I wanted to be noticed in this life, though.

Hopefully i get adjusted and can be a bit more lucid writing in a few days. At the moment, I don't have much patience for reading. I'm managing about 10-20 pages of The History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russel every night during slow points at work, and that's about it for me.

I'm pretty meh feeling today, but I think it's because of how exhausted I am. A few good laughs at work with Chris helped.
