12 Hours at Work

I'm ranting because tonight I will be working 12 hours...My shift really starts at 2am and ends at 11am, but for tonight we are asked to report at 11pm, due to some training that I already forgot what the topic was.

Nope, this isn't training for me being a QA already, it's just part of the up-training for us agents. My training as a QA won't start until next week. What happened is, the newly-hired QAs will join agents in their product training, and since this week they're just in core skills training which we're already done with, we'll be joining them next week.

The thought of being at work for 12 hours is enough to bring my spirits down. For starters, I won't get to see Henry tonight when he comes home. It will also mean I have less time to spend with my kids as I should be sleeping by now already. But on the other hand, I'm just thinking that I'll get paid for the extra hours anyway, so it really shouldn't be that bad.

Oh well, I guess I just have to bear this week. Next week will be a whole new start for me anyway.

Normally for me it's just 8 hours for 5 times a week, well, 9 if you count my 1 hour lunch break, but tonight just sucks as we were informed in such a short notice...
