Yesterday I worked 12 hours. I was scheduled for the 6:00-10:00 ascent sim, and it was all part of my brilliant plan to come in at 9:30 and work all day, 12 hours, which after today would put me at 44 hours for the week. Perfect for the 9/80 schedule.
Last night as I was driving home, thinking about how long a day it had been but consoling myself with the thought that I would be taking next Friday off, I realized that wait — I’m scheduled to work the sim next Friday! So at the least, I have to be here for 5 hours! On my Friday off! Suck!
Since there was no longer any real reason for me to work a full 8 hours today, I slept in, dozing through a nice morning thunderstorm, and didn’t get to work until after 10:00. It was lovely.
