Tonight i reached down into the shower drain to clean out the "you washed a dog on monday and didn't clean out the drain"-sized clump of hair and a spider the size of a quarter jumped out. I think i startled him as much as he did me. To quote i said, "aaaaaaaaaaah! You are NOT small!" I hopped out of the shower and went to find a disposable cup. Once i procured my red party cup i went back to the shower to coax the furry bugger into it and take him outside. Spider said, "no."
so, to solve the problem i left the red party cup on the spider while i showered and let him loose when i was done.
thus is my story of my new shower friend, goodnight folks!

night shift...
well, hello there.
so, ive been working nights and i think night shift makes me insane.
concentration is darn difficult.
and i feel like i will never catch up on sleep.
here are some exciting listed items for your reading pleasure:
1. ramen noodle is not food.
2. nothing is open when i get off work at 5:30
3. when you get a day off and you go swimming in the ocean you should not do so with your cell phone, car keys, dramamine, and $15 in cash in your pocket.
4. i can free dive pretty deeply for $15.
5. i do not have the self control to go to the animal shelter and leave without an animal.
6. if you visit me i will try to get you to go to the animal shelter and take an animal back home.
7. although i am generally considered crazy; there is always someone crazier.
8. i really like living alone; but i do get lonely.
9. right at this moment, i am hungry.
10. im apparenty allergic to orange juice; however i feel the need to test the theory, which is stupid, due to the difficulty breathing and the horriific itching and all....but if it isnt the orange juice then i officially let myself get so stressed out that my body basically said, "fuck it; im out" and tried to kill me. so for peace of mind; im blaming the juice.
gnite ya'll.

nights nights nights...
So, night shift....yeah.
The first few nights were rough...things are settled down into a routine now. The contractors who are down to help are pretty good. Wise, fun, decent IHs.
But people, I am tired. Like, soul-weary. I *need* a break. I need a break off this island for a bit. I still love living here, don't get me wrong, I have just spent a very long time without a break. Incident after incident after audit and then straight into a turnaround. My timesheet said I worked 71 hours last week...I miss being a consultant.
Remember my boss? He got promoted out of our department and while I have a certain amount of "yay" for him; I have a hell of a lot of "whoa" for me (us). The amount of work to do; the amount of stress and
I am still not an employee of the refinery. Not that this is all bad; there are a couple perks I enjoy that employees don't have. But at some point the "busting my butt to become an employee" became resentment. Not a whole lot of resentment; I just wonder if the day comes I get the magical job offer if I will be happy; or just a bit weary.
This place is very much a testing ground; the "wild west of industrial hygiene" where you aren't worried so much about the little stupid stuff and focus (as much as humanly possible) on actual hazards. It is a lot. And I've survived so far.
I just need a vacation.
muah!
