shifts

[threeplusfire]

An email went out this morning with internal vacancies for my department. Some of them have been sitting empty since September. I read through the short list, checked the units and supervisors and hours over. I talked with my supervisor, because my sense of guilt kicked in hard. I ended up applying for a new shift that would be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9am to 7:30pm. Ten hour days are long, but I wouldn't ever work more than two days in a row. I'd still have a week day to do things like doctor appointments and oil changes. Getting off work at 7:30 seems so late, but a four day week would be worth it. The best part would be having normal weekends again like everyone else. It's a shame I can't get different hours but stay in the same unit.

Cross your fingers that I get it. I have two years tenure, and my stats are stellar, so I hope they give me what I want.

Good luck! 10 hour days are long, but the extra day off is very worth it.

I'm in agony now, hoping I get it.

You will get this. Weekends off, joy of joys! And, selfishly, I'll get to see more of you, since my days start at 4pm! Who is going to be your supervisor? Get 'em, tiger!

It's Click's unit, so that was another plus.

I happen to know that a supervisor position is opening up soon. Schedule: Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 10:00-20:30. You should totally apply. You would get it. You would get more money (to the tune of approximately 200-400 dollars more a month). Your schedule is more flexible. You get off the phone. You would absolutely get this, I am sure. And say you're unsure about applying, I think you should do it for the professional experience. Please? [gets unashamedly down on knees, hands clasped together in earnest supplication]

I haven't really decided if I want to go the supervisor track or veer off somewhere else. It's a consideration though. I just don't feel near ready right now, and I want to get my worker III upgrade before I do. Maybe one day. After all, I do intend to take over this agency and rule it with an iron fist. :P

Yes, but first you must gain the Shield of Torin (which I understand is actually behind the security desk).
