unsure…
danny may have to start working nights for 45 days on monday. it would mean he’d get paid a 15% shift differential. but he would be working 11pm-7am. he’d be on his way home at 7:30am when i left for work. he’d prolly be asleep when i got home at 5pm. and he would wake up when i got into bed.
i think i would be very very lonely, but it would only be 45 days… i guess. we could use the money cause starting in january we will start haveing our mortgage payments. it would be very hard on me though. especially since we STILL don’t have our dsl (i don’t have a connection to talk to friends, and we don’t have the site so he could look in on me sleeping).
bleh. i don’t know what to think of it. his schedule would be fux0red for the holidays. and what about the weekends? he’ll still be on an opposite sleep schedule from me…
i think you guys would be ok for a bit over a month like that. if he got off at 7am and was in bed by 8am by 5pm he’d have slept for 9 hours and would probably be getting up when you got home anyway or shortly there after.
i doubt that he would be able to go straight to bed after getting home… i dunno..
Marriage by Phone
My husband works nights and I work days. He works 12-14 hours a day, and sometimes we don’t even see each other. When we do, it’s when I get off of work on time, and then it’s only for about 15 minutes. Our marriage is fine, but I get very lonely when he’s not home.
It makes our time together more appreciated.
although it would suck. 🙁 You guys love each other and you’ll be okay.
Although it may sounds corney. Maybe it won’t be such a bad thing. Things happen for a reason. And maybe it’ll give you some time to do lots of stefunee stuff, and dan lots of time to do dannie. And really concentrate on yourselves for a little bit (45 days isn’t very long at all). Grow as individuals, so you can further grow as a couple. There’s good in every situation.
and i’m sure a little bit of extra monies will be nice 🙂
hehe, go do danny stuffs. not go do danny. funnee thought though 🙂
J and I were on opposite schedules for months and months when we lived back in Illinois. We would see each other in passing in the mornings and evenings. This went on for over 4 months. Then on another job of his it lasted a couple more months. But we got through it. It does make the together time more appreciated. I put the alone time to good use doing crafts and things and reading lots more. You guys will be fine and you should appreciate your alone time as well as your together time. 🙂
Mixed up schedules
I agree with what everyone else is saying, but at the same time I don’t think money is worth being upset. If you think it will make you upset on a regular basis not to have Danny there, it’s not a good idea. I could never sleep without my Fiance in the bed with me. Extra money isn’t worth the stress or being upset.
You guys will be fine :)…Like izzi said we have had to do several times…It’s never very cool, I could never come straight home and fall asleep I would stay up till about 4 or 5 then sleep till 9 or 10 and then leave…thats when ‘i love you’ pages on your pager come in handy…on a happier side one of my all time favorite memories comes from that time…izzi would always be gone when I got home in the morning, but the house always smelled of her perfume cause it was the last thing she put on before she left…it would instantly remind me of her everytime :)… I still think of that time now when ever I catch a wiff of her perfume 🙂

it could be worse…
My husband works rotating shift. Thats 7 days of graveyard 11:30pm to 7:30am, two days off. 7 days of swing 3:30pm to 11:30pm, two days off, then 7 days of days 7:30am to 3:30pm then almost 4 days off until he starts graveyard again. He could be doing this for years. It’s not so bad since I work from home now, but who knows how long this job will last! He really likes the shift work though. It is scary at times sleeping alone and hearing creepy noises. I think you’re brave enough to last 45 days!
Graveyards
I am working a similar shift. Personally I am exhausted when I get home. I usually will go right to bed and then I am up some time around 5 or 6. This goves me time before I have to leave at about 9:45pm. So you guys would have some time together everyday. I also manage to switch this around on the weekends so that I am up during the day. I do tend to take naps on the weekend to help adjust. 45 days will be done in no time. Thats less than it is taking you to get DSL. I also have to say that his diferential is more than mine. Drat!
