I haven't posted in a while because I haven't felt like I had much to say. 


I finished up my assignment in Fairfax, VA the second week of November. I was suppose to start my next assignment in Springfield, MA November 14 but due to a paperwork snafu I started the 21st. 


So I went home for a week. It was a nice visit with the family. A good break to relax for me. 


I'm not all that happy in this assignment here in Springfield. I took this assignment to stay on the East coast for the holiday season to make it easy to get home for Christmas. I got here and found that I'm working eight hour night shifts. 


I detest the night shifts and felt like I was led astray a bit by the nurse interviewing me. That is partially my fault. When the contract came to me it wrote of nights more than day shifts. I should have listened and backed out. But I didn't. Lesson learned. 


I do work with some lovely nurses and techs on the night shift. It's just not my normal. My sleep patterns are very very off.


So I haven't gotten out and explored the town. I don't seem to have time to do so. 


I'm hoping to strike a balance while I'm here. We'll see what happens in the remaining 10 weeks.
