29 Days Later, but Who's Counting?

Good Sunday Morning, Everybody! While there is a steady shower in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, I figured that I would type this while the caffeine is still keeping me awake. This post is an update, of sorts, to my "21 Days" blog post from a few weeks ago.

I concluded my service with the first guard service company on Saturday, February 17th, at around midnight. Before the shift sunset, it took me about five minutes to do my Superman impression, changing from one uniform to another. I began my stint with the second guard service company at approximately 00:00:01 on Sunday, February 18th, finishing at 7:30 AM. I returned later that night, to work in another building (and was about forty-five minutes late, I will admit). Come Monday morning, February 19th, I clocked out and went home. Just a couple hours later, I returned for orientation, and began my first shift later that night. In a span of three days, I wore three different uniforms, received two pay raises, and had my job responsibilities shrink faster than a Shrinky-Dink. I am back with Burlington, currently working the overnight shift.

Going back to working the overnight night is still a process my body clock is adjusting to. It has been over two years since I delivered my last newspaper for the Burlington County Times. When I was working strictly second shift (15:30-00:00), I would usually stay up until about 02:00. (Back when Rockin' Ron Cade was on WOGL-FM on the overnights, I would fall asleep at the conclusion of the "Elvis 3 at 3", at around 03:10 or so.) It is usually not too busy on the third shift until 5-6 AM, so I get to listen to some programming that I used to catch back during the "paper boy" days. Once I get a set schedule, it should be easier. I may as well get the overtime while I can, right?

That is about it, for now. Speaking of Rockin' Ron Cade, I was listening to his "Elvis & Friends" radio show while composing this post. You can hear him on Sunday mornings, from 07:00-10:00 AM ET, on networkjamz.com. You can catch the program on either the Philly Gold Radio or Elvis & Company channels. Like me, you can type Philly Gold Radio on your Tune In radio app and listen. The encore presentation is on Wednesday nights, from 7:00-10:00 PM, on the aforementioned links/channels.

Take care, and Happy Elvis Sunday, everyone!
