Tired….

Yes, I am tired.

I work in a call center, my shift starts at 11:00pm manila time (9am CST).

My travel from home to work is approximately 1 and 1/2 upto 2 hours. Same with going home.

I work 8 hours (night shift) plus 30 minutes overtime (sometimes, depending on the volume of calls).

I am away from home at least 12 hours (2 way travel and work).

Upon getting home from work (of course tired and sleepy), I have to take care of my baby for at least 2 hours until my wife comes from work (she’s a preschool teacher).

So, I will go to sleep at around 12:30 or 1:00 pm. Then, I have to wake up at 7pm to prepare for work, leave house at 8pm, arrive at workplace at around 10pm… which would make my total time spent away from home 13 hours.

I work from Monday evening to Saturday morning…  every weekends, I try to spend time with my family. Sunday morning, church.

That’s why I’m physically tired, mentally exhausted, but my heart is happy…
