Oh, wait! That's every night on this job! DUH! But I'm sleeping okay now during the day, so i's not really too bad. We have a lot of high energy people out here in our offices at night, so they keep me on my toes and alert throughout the long dark hours.
I think tomorrow is going to be my last night out here at this jobsite, or that was the impression I was given, anyway. Tomorrow night I'm supposed to spend assisting witht he pack-up of the office trailer, which means that'll most likely be it for me -- finito! So on Saturday I'm not even going to set my alarm...I'll leave work, swing by the office in Port Allen, and then head back to my motel room to catch some Z-Z-Zs. I'm not going to set an alarm at all. I'll just sleep until I wake up. Bliss....pure bliss.
If I have a few days off, I'll go home -- but if not, I'll stick around here for the weekend. Hopefully, I will get a day or two to catch up on lost sleep, do laundry, and visit my family, but if not, that's okay too. I'm making far too much money to complain b/c they want me to keep working. It's really a nice change. And working 13-14 hour days, I don't even have time to spend any of it! Woo-hoo!
I have been thinking about becoming roommates with my cousin Christy, in Dallas, but I'm still not sure. It really depends on how busy JV plans to keep me. If I'm going to be on the road all the time, then there's not much point in paying for her condo. If it was my own place, it'd be different, but still seems like a bit of a waste of $$. Besides, Matt is wanting to buy a house and he wants me to move in with him, so I may just hold off on the Dallas thing and see what he decides to do when he returns home from California. Hopefully, I'll end up here working all the time. I wouldn't mind living in Baton Rouge too much, I guess.
I think if I get to go home, I might take a day to do some early Christmas shopping either here or down in New Orleans. There's a pretty good mall over on Bluebonnet called the Mall of Louisiana. I haven't had time to completely explore it due to my need to sleep during the day since I'm up all night, but I could certainly go cruise it before I head out to Texas. I need to get Matt and Rachael both birthday presents, as well. Now's as good a time as any, I suppose.
Guess I'd better get back to work. There are time to be keyed and spreadsheets to be created. Hopefully, I can make my work last the rest of the night....

- I'm a 30-ish woman who lives her life on the road, is obsessed with something new every week, and loves coffee more than life itself (at least at 4am). I have an old house that needs to be completely renovated, two adorable nieces whom I love "the sky and the beach," and dreams that change from day to day. Let me tell you about them...
