In Which I Become a Vampire.

NO I'M NOT TURNING GOTH.

In fact I just bought a whole bunch of preppy suits from mens warehouse. A grey and a blue.

Rather this post bears witness to the beginning of my life as an overnight worker. I recently got a job at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.

The place is just downright gorgeous, and the job pays alot more than I'm used to. My coworkers are hillarious, and I'm having a grand old time.

Plus it's great to not be a bum again.

The only thing that has been difficult to adjust to has been the scheduling, which includes it's share of 11pm-7am shifts. These are difficult to adjust to, seeing as it throws off your sleep cycle like nobody's business. Coming home around 9:30am, going to sleep until 5, then getting up, having something to eat, and going to work to start the whole cycle over again.

This schedule sets my social life on a pecipice, but it's all right for now. I learned from working before that life is appreciated far more when isolated into small days off. This may seem depressing, but when you only have so much time off in a week, it makes you want to go out and seize it. Especially working graveyard shifts.

MOM! David's Blogging Again!!!

"Fortune rota volvitur: descendo minoratus; alter in altum tollitur; nimis exaltatus." Which means, in Latin, Fortune's wheel will turn and I descend. Another is lifted high, he is exalted. But the same poem goes on to say: "rex sedet in vertice, caveat ruinam! nam sub axe legimus Hecubam reginam." which also means, the other is lifted too high, let him fear ruin! for beneath the wheel is written Queen Hecubam.
Basically, you're sitting at the top and all of a sudden, someone comes over and knocks you on your ass.

Living with your parents after admitting to the ultimate failure that you couldn't have made it out on your own is probably one of the most demeaning experience that any person in their early 20s can endure.You used to invite a few friends over and have a nice evening with whomever you wanted. People would drop in to say hi. Now, you must prove your intent before leaving the house. "Who are you hanging out with?" "till when?" and "should I keep dinner on the stove?"

You used to come home late at night after work and cook something because you are hungry. Now, the parents want to go to bed at 9pm and if you DARE use the microwave you are disturbing their slumber.

All the while, the never ending job hunt looms ahead. You see, I had placed my prospective move out day to be May 1st. One of my good friends will be needing a roommate, and all seems to be in order. By this time I need to establish better credit, find a job and... well, long story short, reverse everything that living in the point did to my career.

The economy being what it is, so many people are out of work and competing for the same jobs I am applying for. Most of my competition for my skill level though, are older professionals with more experience, who didn't get FIRED from their last job.I was recently turned down by McDonalds. MCDONALDS! someone please tell me where else to turn when even McDonalds doesn't want you?

Ah well. Someone tell Queen Hecuba to spin that wheel again.
