Our company's Christmas Party! Has been postponed! Bummer.
Ah, life. Don't we all make plans that sometimes meet an unexpected revision due to circumstance and demand? Such is life.
To add insult to injury, we have the option of overtime instead of party time. To salve the wounds to our ego, free food will be served. Hmmm, what was that about "contentment and godliness"...?
Sunday AM. VERY AM. 12AM, actually...Pre-shift OT. I don't need to tell you about the shift, do I? Didn't think so. Skip to the free food. Didn't feel too hungry, so I stashed it in the freezer. The OT ended faster than I expected. One hour of rest, then it's back to the fray for my regular shift.
Sunday 11 PM. After-shift OT. Thawed the brick in the freezer that, 24 hours earlier, was my free breakfast. Ate it for dinner. That, and then some. I think we should thank God for the blessings that He puts in front of us, instead of the ones that don't arrive, don't you? Time to work... and i'm fast-forwarding to the middle of the shift already! Another team weren't able to finish all their free food, so I got an extra case of brownies! Sweet. I feel like "I Am Legend." Zip to the end of shift where I recount the slow sunrise...
Monday AM. Transition. I forgot to mention that Vicky and Mira were with me during the last OT. Mira went home right after, while Vicky and I sang our lungs out at the Videoke machine. In the pantry (!). Yet another compensation for our troubles. While singing (and dancing) to the tune of "Breaking Free," we shovel in yet another free meal. Vicky sang the F4 theme songs authentically. By the time I sang "It Ends Tonight," Vicky was hoarse and ready to sleep. Did I mention we had another OT tonight? Yes, really.
Monday 11PM. RD OT. Feeling sleepy, tired, hungry and hoarse. Fast forward to lunch. It's 4AM. KFC. See how tired I am? I barely type anymore, not bothering 2 cmplete wrds...Ha.Ha. The shift ends. And so does this post. But like everything else, tomorrow everything goes on.
Such is life. Sing out one more time! "We're soaring, flying..."

Royal Priests are everywhere. Any believer of Jesus the Christ our Lord and Savior is called to priesthood. Any heart that is restless and breaks free in small bursts of grace, any soul that persists under pressure, any mind that ponders the vastness of the glory of God is a Royal Priest.
Not to take too much of the spotlight, but this blog is my part in the story, indeed The Greatest Story Ever Written - the story of God and mankind. Though the holy fire has been doused somewhat with my reunion with the world, the embers are here - with the hope that you, dear reader, might have enough to light your way. Remember, Our Lord is always with us...even in everyday moments. Nothing is so "real" that it loses its spiritual side. If you need anything, know that His Door is always open and His Light is always on. May God bless you always, my friend.
Answer the call, and begin the adventure of your life.
