My Valentine's Day started about 14 hours before yours, and I took advantage of the daylight. See, working the night shift means that I sleep through most of the days during the week, and then I abuse my body through sleep deprivation so that I can get out and about on the weekends. This means I sleep "normal" hours Saturday and Sunday nights, and then wake up 10 hours before my shift begins Monday night. Naps are a good thing :).
Around noon on Monday, I decided to venture out on my own. This was my first trip away from the apartment building on my own - all other previous excursions were with a group of 4 or more. I had a rough idea of where I wanted to go, and left message with a couple of people who look out for me and then was on my way.
I ate lunch at Pho24, a Vietnamese restaurant along Ayala Triangle Gardens. After a delicious meal of Pho Chin, I walked over to Greenbelt Mall and window shopped before stopping by Landmark. Landmark is kind of a Walmart, but with better stuff. And WAY better service. I found two cute black dresses that were under $35 each and when I couldn't decide between the two... I ended up with both.
With arms full of groceries, I used the convenient shuttle service for a free ride back to the apartment. After a quick nap, it was time for the first day of training! Our Team Leads set up a Valentine's Note Exchange and we had cupcakes and candy. Here are some of the sweet notes I received.
By the time my shift ended at 6am on the 15th, I was pretty well spent. I called the car service to come collect me and I was long asleep before my bedtime.
