Napping through the Wasteland

I missed yesterday's post because I napped during my break. I used this pillow that sits around where I take my break. I don't know who owns this pillow or the last time it's been washed, but it served me well on the little couch I took my snooze on. I put my hood up for hygiene purposes. My legs were folded pretty much up to my chest. Now, for this shift, I got less sleep than I did before yesterday's shift, but I am not tired at all. 

I switched stations on my workspace radio. It is the alternative FM channel for my area. I like the music but sometimes I get concerned that I'll get in throughout for it being inappropriate at times. I don't actually think anyone on my shift with me is sensitive enough to language or risque content to tell me to quit it. It's just the principle of being at work with the words "son of a" b word that makes me jump at times. 

I have been asked to work this shift next weekend, which I'll get stat for the Monday and double time for the Saturday. I don't quite know why I'm getting double time on the Saturday but I'll take it. I don't mind the weekend shifts. I have to split my breaks up because I am alone and I can't leave my post for too long. Other than that, it's kinda nice having the place to myself (I'm not completely by myself as there are people in other positions and departments, stop panicking mom). I have gotten to catch up on my readings I need to get done for training on weekends. And I can watch videos without disrupting people. 

Control wasn't loading on my computer properly. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and will see if that is successful when I'm back home. Luckily, I didn't pay money for it as it came with a free game pass that I got with my computer. It's just annoying because I am invested in the story right now. I tend to not watch spoilers for games I am actively playing. I'll watch guides on a puzzle I'm stuck on but beyond that, I want to discover the mysteries myself. Only after I've finished the game will I look into the fan theories and lore.

With Fallout New Vegas, I enjoyed watching videos by Oxborn (was that his YouTube name) about the lore, as there was a lot I missed but picking one faction over the others (or in my case, picking none of them and running for all the power myself, screw you House). I was able to see how the story played out for different choices you make in that game without having to make several runs through the same missions myself. 

I'm gonna finish my peach iced tea before my break ends. 

Take care.
