So, if you know me at all, you know I have worked nights at the APC for 2 years now. Go to work at 3:30 pm and get off at 11:30 pm. I have also been working 30 hours a week during the day at a gift shop downtown. That is all about to change.
I'm sitting in my cubicle at work a couple Tuesdays ago and all of the sudden this voice in my head (DO NOT LAUGH) told me I needed to transfer to the day shift. I'm thinkin "NO, I do not want to get up that early, NO I do not want to take a cut in pay, NO I do not want to leave my nighttime work friends. The voice says you have to go to days. WTF.......I have never wanted to go to days = WHY. No reason, just go to days. So at break I call Norman and see what he thinks (besides the fact that I'm crazy) - he says we'll tighten our belts but we can do it. Now, in the past, if someone requested to go to the day shift, it took weeks, months, or even longer. So, I'm thinkin, I'll request to go to days and maybe sometime next year I'll actually go. So back to my cubicle I go, I email my supervisor my request to transfer.
THE NEXT DAY, the supervisor's supervisor comes to me and says "so you want to go to days" - I'm like "yeah" and he says "WHEN" . OMG what do mean "WHEN" you mean I can go now - yep you can go now - OH NO. So I say I'll go in 2 weeks-gotta give the day job boss some notice to hopefully change my schedule so I can keep working downtown too.
OMG-I'm gonna have to get up at 5:45 AM, I must be crazy. I'm not a morning person, I cant smile in the morning, I cant be nice in the morning- what am I gonna do. Then I start thinkin, I'll be getting off work while it is still daylight - WOW. I'll get to watch my favorite shows (that I've missed for 2 years) - WOW. I'll get to see my husband more than 2 nights a week - WOW. Ok so some good with the bad. The very worst thing is that I have some of the greatest friends at work on the night shift and I am going to miss them terribly. But the good to that is that some of those wonderful people have gone to days in the past so I will get to see them now.
The day job, well it is down to just Saturdays for now-but that's ok, I will luxuriate in some time off. My Cheese is moving - big time.
Oh, if you're wondering about the picture of the sofa, it is for sale. Nina has two of them. Very retro/cool. She needs to downsize to just a love seat. Let me know if your interested. Have a wonderful day - This weekend is supposed to be RAIN FREE yeah!!!!!!!
