48/96

Sometimes I wonder exactly "who" my audience is on this thing......anyways, aside from that fact I thought I would update "whomever" reads this on what is going on 'round these parts.

Chris started the infamous 48/96 schedule today. The schedule revolves around each shift working 2 days and then having 4 off. At first glance one can come up with pro's and con's without difficulty. However, I don't think I will judge until we have at least a few months of the schedule under our belts.

I can say that I think it will work out. My Dad and Mom have been living with it for the last year and they both have several reasons for really liking the schedule. Unfortunately for us/Chris he happens to currently be assigned to a busier ambulance in the county. I am only *hoping* that he can catch some zzzzz's as able and still find the energy to study for the upcoming Engineer's test.....stay tuned.

On another TOTALLY off topic area.....who watched The Biggest Loser, Couples last night? WOW. Usually I can *control* my TV watching, however last night I was glued to the TV in an unprecedented way. I am still in shock that some of these people lost nearly 30#'s in 1 week! Most of what I have learned in my various nutrition, exercise courses would say this is not good for the body.....however, having watched the finale's the last 2 years....IT WORKS.

Ok, back to work....the schedule beckons
