The last two weeks we have been working double two shifts for the day. The permanents work from 3am to 3pm, or 3pm to 3am. The interns work 5am-3pm or 2:30pm to 12:30am. It is not too bad once you are accustom to waking up and sleeping at odd hours. I try to go to be at 8:30pm and wake up around 4am or 4:25 depending on how confident I am at getting ready. Bec, my supervisor goes to be around 5 or 6pm and wakes up around 2am. I have no idea what the arvo (afternoon) shift does in terms of sleeping, but they do what they do.
I have been getting used to waking up in the 4 o'clock hour and respecting Ali Chabot for doing it most through college to work at the airport. This morning, for some reason, I did not succeed at what I have been for the last 2 weeks!! I woke up, went back to sleep, and woke up at 4:50 when my carpool arrived...SHIT! I got ready in RECORD time, t minus a minute and a half (so proud). Sadly, when I got to work everyone was commenting on how "tired" I looked, basically saying I do not look great when I have just woken up. What ever, shit happens.
Anywho, mornings at St. Hallett are not that bad. I enjoy working in the morning with my co-worker/supervisor Bec. We calibrate all the equipment and recently have gone on morning bike rides to collect samples and get a little "workout" in. While biking around you are able to say hi to all the cellar people out cleaning tanks or presses, or even crushing fruit. It is way more lively at 5am than one would expect, probably more so when everyone has had their fixing, may it be coffee, tea or some other form of a start up.
Here are some morning pictures:
