"Working hard or hardly working?"
Hardly working? Pft, I wish... Trust me, working at a factory makes you treasure the weekends like never before. Anyway, first week of work is over, and I will begin the second week this afternoon. I'm working in Nid9, where such yummy treats as bamsemums, festkarameller and toffee sfinx is made ^^ The first two weeks are 2shift weeks (which is rather meh, because the dayshifts start so early and the eveningshifts end so late that I can't rely on the bus, meaning I have to drive >.< ), but starting from weeks 34 we'll be switching over to 3shift weeks; one week with nigtshifts, one week with eveningshifts and one week with dayshifts. And these shifts thankfully start and end early and late enough for the bus to be an alternative.

In other news, I snagged this meme from gin_siren;
