I am totally not used to this work stuff! It’s thrown my sleep patterns out the window something fierce.. I haven’t had to set an alarm to wake me up for years now, always had the little guy pulling alarm clock duty. Now I’m setting the alarm clock each day and waking up before it. Also when i used to wake up in the middle of the night, I used to be able to get back to sleep without too much trouble unless my back is stirred up. Well since the job’s stirring my back up pretty drastically, I’ve been waking up like last night at 3.20am and not being able to get back to sleep.
Did finally doze off for about half an hour at 5.30am and had the weirdest dream…. I was at work and scheduled to work 7am-3pm and had turned up a little early to get all logged in and ready (yesterday was a nightmare – took about 28mins to get into all the systems and configure my profiles correctly). But because I was early, I went and had a bit of a lay down in the break room. When I got out to the floor, my shift was just finishing, and the guys I was supposed to be working with were all heading home. I sank to the floor (which was a grass lawn btw), and watched as the night shift people came in. There was four or so chicks in purple Tree of Life panne velvet ‘renaissance’ (and I used the term loosely) styled dresses, walking around trying to find somewhere to hang up some fancy purple stone mobiles on all the windows, calling themselves Amethyst Goddesses and making a blessing before sitting down to work. Then a couple of muslim fellows started doing their call to prayer in the middle of the office while trying to figure out which way was west, cos there’s no natural light in the place… then a group of coal smeared miners with tool belts marched in, and one of them make a short speech about ‘making this a great day with no OH risks – lets go!’ And then I woke up……………..
I think working is sending me balmy. :S Next I’ll be getting visits from crazy discworld type characters – like Death of Office Recycling or the OHS Witch or something!
