It's true that my work schedule isn't ideal. I work on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Which means I have few opportunities to leave town.

However, I have so many "fun" things going on this semester, that I have been able to finagle other into switching shifts with me several times so I can have a weekend away.

When I do that, sometimes it comes back to bite me. For instance, I just looked at my schedule and realized that I will have worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday beginning this past Thursday. That's five days in a row with a one day break before working three days in a row.

Who am I to complain? Real people with Real jobs have to work 6-7 days a week.

True.

But I'm not a real person with a real job just yet. I'm a disgruntled student.
