And further.
This schedule has really caught me off-guard.
Station Casinos is building Red Rock now, part of the gaming boom that still has a mighty grip on Las Vegas. There is no shortage of work right now; in fact, aside from required schooling, we are working a scheduled sixty-eight hours a week, and there is a "walk-thru" at our local Union Hall. It was something to get used to, I admit, and the pay-checks are excellent. However, this casino is to be complete and open by March 2006, and they are only holding the ground-breaking ceremony for the second tower next month. I know that it is considered regulatory for casinos to be built in under three years, but this one is extremely disorganized; we have yet to recieve standard blueprints.
Therefore we recieved word that there is a massive likelihood that our schedules will soon turn to two shifts of eighty-four hours weekly, to complete the project on time. Granted, continuous twelve-hour shifts have been done before and are not at all the worst I have worked. However, I simply tire of the lack of time in my day. I remember a similar push during my time working on building Le Rêve--or, Wynn Las Vegas, whichever one likes--though it seemed far less hectic then. Perhaps there was something more enticing on building a mega-resort on the Strip versus a locals' casino at the edge of town.
This, coupled with the pregnancy is exhausting. There never seems to be enough time for sleep, and ingesting nutrution of any kind is next to impossible. Nina has been forbidden to surface, as a relapse would be devastating to the unborn child. Already the belly is swollen with evidence of him...we believe the child to be male. A possible name for him would be Connor.
