On the road. Again.
Right, so tomorrow morning I'll be up bright and too-early. It's my first week back on the job. My first week as a foreman. So I've got to be into the office by 6:30. To wash the car and whatnot.
So on the one hand - woohoo money. And whoohoo being in charge. And really, honestly, woohoo being at work again.
But on the other hand... Man. Early turn-in on Sundays starts now. And no internet Mon-Wed nights. Getting up to begin working at 7am. And no more phone conversations with Anne that last until we're both back into daytime cellular minutes.
I love my job. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy having a 3 day weekend every week. I like knowing I'm doing something useful, something that helps keep everyone safer on the roads. And it's good work. And it has moments where it's even quite fun.
But I'm coming down with what could be a nasty cold - that sort of wants to do something in my throat or chest, given that I've picked up a cough. (Yes, this is when all of you jump up and tell me stop smoking, that won't be as much of a problem.)
And... and... Ok, so I sound whiny and sappy and whatnot, but I'm gonna really really miss being able to stay up all night talking to Anne. Even when it's just comfortable silence over the line. And it's damned hard to hang up the phone when we've been talking.
And now I'll probably be lucky if I get like an hour with her on the phone most nights. And that's really gonna suck. I'm like, already in withdrawl.
As if it weren't already gonna be hell in internet withdrawl, and in minor smoking withdrawl - I'll get about two chances to smoke before we quit for the day. And yes, it's good because I should be cutting down, but it's going to be annoying.
And yes, I know you suggested I start cutting back early so that wouldn't be another shock to my system, Talcott. No, I didn't listen to you. Yes, if I end up having a real problem with this less smoking thing, you will be able to say I told you so.
*sigh* And because of one of those stupid not-ladybugs, I now need to find a clean pair of jeans to wear to work tomorrow. And I need to be in bed in like 20 minutes. *grumble*
I love my job. I need to remember that. And to just hold on to knowing that she'll be here to visit in less than 3 weeks now.
