Missing My Wife Like Crazy

It’s been a long while since I added a new post. It’s not intentional folks. I just really don’t have much time, because I’m working the night-shift now,  and since my shift starts at 9 pm you can just imagine how I still manage my time.

I used to work the 10 pm shift and with that I can still see my wife before I go to work.  Although it’s really a crunch, because she almost always gets home around 7:30 pm.  So I get to see her about 30 minutes before I myself would go out and go to work.

But since I got transferred to the 9 pm shift.  I haven’t seen my wife for the last few days.  I have to leave at least by 7 pm, if I don’t want to be late.  I get off work at 6 am and by the time I get home she already left.  :(

What a bummer.

I miss her so much, that I tend to wake up earlier than usual so that I can call her at the office before she left the place.  At least I get to talk to her, right?

But still it’s not the same.  I miss her sweet smile, those lovely eyes and stature.  Oh, how I long to go back to the 10 pm shift!  Or better yet to the morning shift.  But still……. a job is a job, and one must make sacrifices. :)

Sacrifices is always part of life.  Specially  if you work in a call center.  So if you plan to work in the industry, better be prepared to miss your love ones.  It’s part of the job, and only a few people can manage it.  Specially for the rookies, the people who’s working in the industry for the first time. It’s really very hard for them.  Wait ’till the holidays…….    :)

Thank GOD for Vacation leaves.  I’m fortunate to work in a company that promotes Work-life balance.  As long you as you have Vacation time, and you file it early enough, then no one can say you can’t take a vacation. I’ve seen my friends in 24/7 take 2 week leaves all in one go.

And to my wife.  I miss you so much Theart!  I love you!  :D
