Aaahhh, Sweet Relief... Almost!

So, did we get any rain this weekend? Yeahsureyoubetcha! No thunder, unfortunately, but we got some heavy rain. It started early Sunday morning, just as I was borderline awake. Needless to say, I fell right back to sleep. I always go into a deeper sleep when the weather is bad. Don't know why, even if I'm already asleep when it starts, I just go into a coma-like state. Waking me, is almost impossible!

When I finally managed to crack my eyes open (two or three hours later), I donned a big tee and shorts, and ran straight out onto the balcony. Yes, I danced! Said I would, didn't I? Hard, heavy rain. The rain itself felt cool, but the air was still hot and humid. This was nothing more than a momentary relief, lasted for as long as I could stay outside in it.

Today, the sun is back, the air is still humid as heck... And I'm still eagerly anticipating rain. More rain, that is. Thunder is a must! Without a good thunderstorm, the air will stay humid and my brain will keep on melting! Hardly anything left in there as it is, still, I've got to save what little remains of it!

I can only hope that Kiri's weekend was less humid than mine.

I'll be working three full days this week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Not today, due to having had a doctor's appointment. My Dr is doubtful that I should stay in this job, she's not the only one! But I do need to remain employed if I'm to get my starters loan so I can get an apartment. We'll just have to wait and see.

The new shift plan is a joke. No one that I have spoken to at work, are happy with them. They do not allow for a life outside of work, and that, my friends, is just plain wrong. They don't pay us nearly enough to expect us to embrace this newfangled plan of theirs. 'It works wonderfully in Sweden!' Is what they tell us, it's a flexi-time type of workplan. Flexible? Where? There is no room for flexibility! There is no room for a life outside of work, at all! If you're unfortunate enough to have a significant other and/or kids, you'll bankrupt yourself paying for babysitters, as kindergarten closes at a set time... Trouble is, you're still at work and have to stay there for another few hours. Your significant other, will see even less of you than usual, might put a strain on relationships, is my opinion. I do not live, breathe and bleed my workplace. Not really. As I said, they don't pay us enough to demand that sort of commitment. I am committed to do the best job that I can, however, but that's within reasonable workhours. I still haven't received mine, as I'm not working 100% yet. My teamleader needs to do a little math on the hours, to make sure I'm not there longer than I'm allowed. When I do get it, I'll post it here, so you can see for yourself!
