Health is Wealth
I’ve posted previously that I’m facing some health issues. Prolonged coughing spasms. I blame it on my work pattern and also the work environment. It’s unnecessarily cold and dry. Several complaints have been made, but the situation has not improved. The air-conditioning is either too cold or too warm.
I’ve had about one day’s rest in between last week and this week’s shift. Last night, I tossed and turned at 3 AM in the morning causing my wife to awake. Fell asleep due to sheer exhaustion and now I’m a zombie at work. I’m going to have to endure another 2 weeks of 4 day 12 hour shifts before it resumes to the normal pattern. Don’t think I can keep this up for long. Now I know why people, who are married tend to leave shift jobs. It’s not only a test to the relationship, but to a person’s physical and mental health.
My sincere advice to any seeking for a job out there, bite off what you can chew. If you can’t chew it anymore, then seek for other bites I’m gonna endure this a lil’ while longer for the sake of financial commitments. It’s so hard when you’ve got housing and car loans. Sigh. Our life here on earth. Die for the money we make, and make money to die. *Groans*
