Life As I Know It

captain_slinkyTraci called me from work with the great news!!! I got a new shift at work! Starting Sunday, October 10th, my new shift will be 11am till 7:30pm, with Sunday and Monday off!
I can have a real life once again!
My shift of the past 9 months has been 4:30pm till 1:30am with Mondays and Tuesdays off. This sucked on many levels. No weekend days to share with anybody in the "real" world, and my days off were wasted by sleeping in due to my late hours. But now? Now I will be getting up early and getting off work early enough to enjoy time with people, plus I've got that Sunday! A whole day of the weekend to share with friends and family!
Also, it's the same shift as Traci, who is the best audience a person like me could ask for. VERY easily amused, I just hope they let us sit together (we get pretty loud when we're together).
The two *negatives* about this new schedule are that (a) Jane Jenkins will no longer be my supervisor (she is well known as the best supervisor in the Everett call center), and (b) it will cost us about $240 a month for me t have this earlier shift. Shifts that end after 8:30pm get an additional $1.50 per hour for shift differential.
It's worth it to get to spend a bit more time with ANYONE. My current shift left me feeling a bit isolated.
