dayshift: ups and downs

Sweet. Welcome back, dayshift! After two months of wait, staying on a night shift, I am now back on my diurnal clock. But, it's not all pretty, so I thought of listing some of its ups and downs.

UPS:
(+) A sleep spent over the night is irreplaceable, even if it's just for a couple or three hours.
(+) I get to maximize my afternoons and evenings.
(+) I save up to half of my transportation allowance.
(+) Food's way better during lunchtime.
(+) I can always drop by the mall after work.
(+) I get to save the money that goes to San Mig.
(+) Walking is my therapy...and my only form of exercise currently.


DOWNS:
(-) I miss my Wootenclan™ beer and yosi buddies. And it doesn't help that my morning-shift-buddy just got kicked out for his excessive love of Facebook and YouTube...on full screen!
(-) More than half of my shift is spent in isolation. At least I can concentrate on my copy-paste tasks.
(-) It's only been three days of "normalcy" and already, I feel heavier. See UPS # 4.
(-) It's harder to wake up when everyone else is still asleep and having to face the ice-cold shower.
(-) Ah! The life of a buzzer-beater. Always in a hurry. Making four minutes down the hour still too early for my arrival.
(-) The afternoon traffic.


Well, having it all is just a multi-vitamin brand. As what they say, you win some, you lose some. That's the shit we all have to swallow.
