Surprise, surprise

Well whaddayaknow, I'm beginning to like my new schedule. The first and most important reason is - I'm actually getting more sleep! It was lights out at 9am this morning and now after 5.5 hours, I'm up. It doesnt sound like much to folks who put in the regular 8hour day but it's lightyears away from the 2hours before and after shift I used to get. It's a lot easier for me to fall asleep in the morning as opposed to in the middle of the day. Secondly, with the earlier schedule, I have a wider selection of modes of transportation. Instead of being stuck with having to part with P50 every night to pay for a taxi ride to work, there are enough jeeps still plying the streets which cuts my spending on transportation to P12. Hey, every little bit counts, you know.  And lastly, due to the longer travel time required when commuting by jeepney, I have to leave my apartment at least 30 minutes before the work shift starts. This virtually eliminates any chance of my being tardy. I had gotten used to the 5 minute taxi ride to work which had me leaving my apartment with ten minutes to go. I would then arrive at work with barely enough time to log in and set up my tools before I could start receiving calls. Now I begin the shift in a more relaxed state. Oh there's another advantage to early shift - low call volume. Sometimes I get only three to four calls during the first hour! To sum up, this new schedule isn't so bad after all. What a pleasant surprise. :)
