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.

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).
