Shift Update!

Well, I wanted to let everyone know what happened at work. I ended up on a Tuesday through Saturday 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM shift. Not horrible, not amazing. In all honesty this is just like when AJ worked at Checker since he was closing most of the time. They had another shift open that was a weekend wrap that got off at 8:00 pm, but I didn't think that getting off a few extra hours early was worth having to work both weekend days since by the time I got home Sam would already be in bed. This way I have most of my morning with Sam, I mean 8:00 am to 1:30 pm is a good chunk of time and in all honesty more time than I am getting with him now. Plus I can schedule appointments any day of the week, and I can still spend time with family, just has to be in the morning. I'm also still getting a differential, it's an extra $1.00 per hour. I can also work out in the morning when Sam takes a nap. I'm finding all sorts of pluses to working a later shift. I am only sad about getting less time with AJ and missing out on bedtime with Sam, (I LOVE to give him baths, I will just have to make the most out of the nights I have off.) And like I said, this was just like when he worked at Checker and we made it work then, we are just going to have to make a conscious effort to spend time together and we agreed that every other Sunday night we will have a date night just the two of us, (as long as we have willing baby sitters, lol.) And we'll still get Wednesday mornings together too. Not to mention that he is a night owl, and while I don't want him staying up all night with me, he usually goes to bed around midnight, so we'll still get a little time together when I get off work.

Next time around I am hoping for an early shift, like 5 am to 2 pm, and I don't see why that won't happen, the only reason I didn't get a better choice this time around is because I was pregnant and in all of my third trimester I couldn't remember anything, so my Call Resolution Time was about 1,000 seconds per call. (Which is pretty horrible as the goal is 850 seconds.) I know it was because I was pregnant too cause since I've been back my CRT has been about 700 seconds. Unfortunately CRT is major points so I lost out on a lot. But like I said, should only 6 months till I get to change shifts again!
