Last week I was on a day shift taking the very enlightening Alternate Dispute Resolution course. It's Canada Post's mandate to have all the front line supervisors schooled in these skills so they can deal with events on the work floor as they happen and restore order and peace as quickly as possible. Basically getting people to talk their problems out rather than go crazy and attack people. I'm interested in seeing how this is going to work.
So while I was going to this course I was going to the gym every morning before heading down. Yes, 5.00 AM each day last week I was stood outside of Extreme Fitness in the cold with other devoted morning peoples, and I worked out. And I felt good doing it. So good, in fact, that it made me want to get to a day shift faster. I remember back when I worked at Penguin Books / Canbook / Pearson Canada I was at the gym almost every morning before I came to work and I loved it. LOVED IT. Midnight shifts obviously pose a bit more of a challenge because with being tired all the time who has the energy to work out.
But I am going to try.
Today is a Sunday. I am working at 10.00 AM today on an overtime shift because 'tis the season and all that, so I am going to the gym before I go in. And then this week I am going to go a few times before my midnight shifts, since the gym is open until 11.00 PM. And then I am going to stick to it. And I'm going to be going for longer workouts too. I have a week off coming up in December so I'll translate it back to daytime workouts during that time, but for now this is How It Will Be, cause I like being able to wear 33 and 32 waist pants again.
That is all.
