Tony's Army Wife - surviving my first deployment

Sunday, August 26, 2007

I'm at it again. Working an insane amount of hours. Over the next few weeks, I think I just might drop dead. I've been here (in the ER) all weekend and this coming week I will be putting in a good 52 hours atleast. Wednesday is my last class of Intro To Crazy People (as I like to call it). I have not studied for my final at all. I was going to work on my study guide tomorrow but I am an idiot and picked up 11a-3p. And of course I will end up sleeping in. Who wants to wake up at the crack butt of dawn if you don't have to be at work. So that means I am going to have to go to school directly after work and finish my study guide. I know if I work on it at home I will surely be distracted by everything else around me. Next week I am working a whopping 68 hours. Bleh. Six 12 hour shifts in a row!! I feel faint just thinking about it right now. And just when I'll think it's over.. I'll be working another 52 hours the week after. Can someone please tell me what the heck is wrong with me!?? Why do I keep doing this to myself?? I've realized that it can't be to pass the time quicker, because I'd rather be home sleeping the days away. That's when time flies. And we're so short staffed for Techs that the majority of my shifts I'll be working completely alone!! Aaarggghh!!! But I know that as long as I can get through these next couple of weeks, Tony will be coming home!!! We're only 15+ days away!! I'm unstoppable! I know it!! ...Or atleast I hope I am! :/

    I think it's something in us when our hubby's deploy. We 'think' it helps time go quicker & it keeps us busy. I'm sure once he's home tho, you won't be wanting to work all those hours!

    Congrats on making it threw this deployment!
