In The Dark

Yesterday was a day like any other. I pumped 13 oz. We learned a lot of information in class yesterday and my brain was fried. I wanted to just veg out and watch YouTube videos last night. About the only interesting part of my day yesterday was there was a firetruck and a tow truck in the HOV lane last night on my way home. Don't know why and don't care but it was interesting to see that.

Today was crazy. We got to work 30 minutes early and there was almost no traffic this morning. We didn't learn quite so much today. Plus it's Thursday which means tomorrow is payday and jeans day. I'm excited to dress down. :) I wonder if tomorrow is going to be as long as last Friday was... Hopefully not. I got the days off I want when I go to the night shift. Friday and Saturday. I think I am the only person in the class that got a weekend day and a weekday together. I'm excited for my schedule. I am also excited to make more money when I finally start my real shift.

Today was the scariest pumping day I've experienced. I get into the room on my first break and just as I got everything set up, dun dun dun..... the lights went out. Okay so it's not that scary but I am a little scared of the dark. This is a secret room inside of a bathroom, mind you, so they don't have back up generators or anything in this room. I felt like I was blind and I had to feel my way to my purse and feel around my purse to find my phone. When I finally pulled it out it barely lit the room up. I grabbed my purse and ran out of the room with the key and left my stuff behind. I ran out to the trainers who were smoking outside and had no idea what was happening. I told them what was happening and they said wait for the power to come back on. Well, the break gets over and still no power (except back up lights and computers). They let me have an extra break and the training manager gave me her iPhone with a flashlight app for lighting. I went in and got the 3 batteries out of my bag and put them in my pump. It required four. I was just about to go ask the front desk (which was a bazillion miles away) for batteries when I remembered they put a clock in the room for me. I took the clock off the wall and put the battery in my pump. Sure enough it worked. So I am basically sitting in the dark and I picked up the phone to see how much I had pumped after a few minutes and to my disbelief there was over 4 oz in each bottle. I think from now on maybe I should pump with the lights out! I have never in my entire pumping life got 8.5 oz in one sitting. That is just craziness. I put the battery back in the clock and set it by my manager's phone. Shortly after I got back to class, the lights popped back on. Then from lunch I pumped 4.5 oz and my second break I pumped 3. That makes for a grand total of 16 oz. That is awesome. I am going to turn off the lights in the room after I get set up tomorrow and see if I get the same results! I know it's crazy but I like to experiment with different methods to see what happens. Yes, I know. I am easily entertained. :D
