A Personal Journal: My Work Schedule
I’ve been working in the industry for so long that my body has adapted to the graveyard shift. A year ago, I had to go back to living and working around the normal shifts – daytime. It was tough and had to compromise with the bosses and came in late in the morning so that I can do more work when operations close for the day. This came in handy, since I had to take care of the department and meet with my night managers.
Now, my work schedule has been erratic. Since I need to cover all of the accounts and meet with my staff from different shifts, you can say I’m truly a 24x7 manager. There came a point where I couldn’t follow my own schedule because it was difficult to wake up causing my body clock to get confused. Talk about sleep deprivation. I was hurting.
