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.

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.
