I woke up in the morning with no hint of stress knowing that this is a Saturday shift. This is my last Saturday shift. I wanted to celebrate after work to make it a commemorative day. Since this is my last Saturday, I wanted to document and savour it.

10:54am - In the office. My supervisor friend is working today. I'm fasting today. The last thing I ate last night was a hotdog sandwich. Let's do it.
11am - the shift starts. I still feel lethargic. It just so happens that I'm going to work on probably the most difficult project. Typical boss fight.
11:45am - It's a good start. I guess. I was having thoughts of going home early because I'm not feeling well. Or maybe it was the lethargy talking. Perhaps the laziness talking. I'm missing out on the trip to Grand Beach by the way. I can still make it.
12pm - Yeah, so 6 hours left! First hour went by fast.
1pm - Past hour was good. I'm now determined to finish this. Feeling my empty stomach. Yes, feeling, not filling. I'm starting to space out and imagine my trip to the Philippines.
1:30pm - Sleepy. Into the slow period we go.
2pm - My arms are cold. 4 hours left. Sleepy. Had to go to the washroom to take a break from monotony. Past hour was good.
2:30pm - 30 minutes was also productive. I'm sleepy, but I'm shaking it off.
3pm - Last hour before my break! The past 30 minutes was slow. My arm is starting hurt. I'm getting there. 3 more hours to go! Let's do this. The truth is there's 2:15 hours worth of work left.
3:30pm - 30 minutes left til break. I usually get restless during this period of the Saturday at work crying to go home. I'm getting all sorts of fantasies about my plans when I go home in the Philippines.
3:43pm - Returned from the washroom. I can't help imagine stuff and space out on my desk. I've discovered that Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 are on Playstation Network from a colleague on break.
4:02pm - 2 hours left! I'm taking a 15 minute break. Last hour was slow.
4:17pm - back to work.
4:30pm - Less than 1 hour of work.
4:40pm - I'm taking my 30 minutes break. I'm thinking to myself that this would be the last time I would have this routine on a Saturday. I'm going to open a new chapter on Friday evenings. The truth is, I can still change my schedule and it would exempt Saturdays and Sundays! Crap! I'm getting teary eyed again. My mind is filled with happy things right now.
5pm - Last hour. Still on break.
5:10pm - Back to work. Indeed, there's less than an hour left 'til the end of my Saturday work. The last push!
5:30pm - Oh whaddya' know! I'm almost going home! But I'm super tired.
5:39pm - Washroom break.
5:45pm - It comes down to the last 15 minutes! Such a tease.
5:51pm - It's official! Goodbye to Saturdays!

I could've done something else but I was all by myself, but I was exhausted. I also wanted to hug someone, because I was so happy. Take note that I was still fasting. I ate dinner after 6pm and just lazed on the couch waiting for everyone. They were at the summer clan reunion. And yes, I missed it again. That will all end, because I'm now free from Saturday!
