It's been an odd day.

After lamenting the lack of Easter baskets and candy in my life, my father in law arrived with one full of jelly beans in plastic eggs today. We talked about Iraq over lunch at Ninfa's, and Alan began working on Edward's computer.

I wasn't at work twenty minutes before my evil lead said something to upset me. Twenty minutes into a shift, and I'm nearly in tears. At Brett and Waldo's urging, I fired off an email to my supervisor about the possibility of transferring to the day shift and staying in the Colorado bay. Half an hour later, Alan and I had approval from the powers that be to transfer. So on Tuesday, we will officially start dayshift hours.

This will probably wreak havoc on my sleep schedule and brain, but sweet candy lambs I'll finally have a normal schedule! I can choose the bar I want to go to after work, I can actually catch people online for RPGS, and life might just get a bit easier.

Oh, this is great news on so many levels. Yay. More security, no more evil supervisor, and more daylight.

Damn skippy. It also means going to the gym with Brett before work, more smoothies and less nonsense.

Woo.

That Monday/Tuesday transition will be a bitch, but otherwise, woo!

They're going to let us come in as early as noon on Monday, to help with that.

Spoken too soon, about the respect.

Well, they let you switch, and hopefully you work for different idiots now?

Thank god! Normal hours mean more time to play! See you in two weeks.

And how. I am so glad.

I forgot, Brett has an April birthday. So I invited him to the April birthdays party.

Going to day shift after being on nights is kinda like being drunk. There's that groggy time where you can't quite get a handle on anything, and then suddenly everything's amazingly cool and everyone's your friend.

In all seriousness, though, the best thing I ever did at that place was get out from under Christine's thumb. Acheivement speaks for itself on days. You're not going to have any trouble once you get the sleep thing down. :)

I'm looking forward to someone recognizing my numbers and the other eight million things I do.

Tim seems kind of gruff, but he's a good guy. Tough but fair. He doesn't kiss anyone's ass, but if you're doing good, you'll know he knows. Jackie's a pretty damn cool lead, she was night shift way back in the day and she "keeps it pretty real". A nicer woman you could never hope to meet.

If Alan lands in group 6, I think Cottle will be his lead. He's a huge A&M fan. :)

You've become one of the LADS! Since I'm not the leader of your night shift, I approve :-P Working days is so much better in so many ways.

Hahah I know. I shall make them all evil LADS...

Yay! That sounds like a good decision.

It feels like a very good decision, right now.

Bonjour, Amanda. I was wondering if you could email me your address? Your snail-mail address? I wanted to send you a late wedding gift, and amazon isn't cooperating with me. My email address is: nihilisia@yahoo.com . I really appreciate it!
