The Night Shift

I've been burning the midnight oil this week, trying to meet my work deadline. I'm writing a training curriculum and it has taken hours and hours and hours and hours of work. But finally, the end is in sight. On Tuesday, I showed you my team of helpers, Lucy on the desk supervising closely, and Lady and Katie supervising from the floor. Well, I have to share with you a photo of the same scene at 10 pm last night. Notice what's missing here?


The helpers! I have no idea how a dog or cat would manage to perceive the "work day," but I can assure you that my crew understands that concept. They are downstairs in my office with me all day, but they leave between 5 and 6 pm and do not return! I think that's so funny. The first time it happened I thought it was a fluke. But no, it's the same every night. Lady, Katie, and Lucy don't do overtime. I guess it wasn't in their job descriptions! As a result, the night shift is kind of lonely...

  2. LOL Good for them! I'm all for shorting work hours. Wasn't it back in the 40s/50s or so where I read that one of the big auto manufacturing plants made it a 6-hour shift? And, then, there's Europe, of course, where most(?) countries still adhere to far shorter workdays than Americans.

  5. The union gets really peeved about unsupervised overtime...the extra treats and squeaky toys just aren't worth the hassle!!!
