We survived Monday!! It wasn't horribly busy actually. I only ended up doing about 53 calls, which isn't too bad.
So, on Thursday, I had mentioned to my manager that if an earlier shift were to come available, I would love to be considered for it. She said that when they did the shift evaluation, she would mention it. I said I appreciated it, and resigned myself to waiting for a while.
Instead, yesterday, my big boss (2nd in charge of the department) hit me up on teams yesterday. He said that he'd heard I was open to a new shift, and how did 8-4:30 sound? I, of course, said that it sounded amazing. He asked when I could start, and I said that I get up at 6 every day, so I'd be good to start whenever they needed me. He said how about tomorrow. So, starting today, I have the schedule I really wanted!
I previously had worked 8am-4:30pm at IKEA, and had really liked the schedule, so I am over the moon. I spent the rest of the evening all excited.
As I told a friend, I almost feel like this is my reward for being passed over for so many promotions at IKEA and for the shitshow of 911. I really enjoy the job and the management seems to be bending over to make me feel special and valued.
One of my former IKEA coworkers has an interview with Hopkins on Friday. I'm excited for her. I hope it goes well. She used me as a referral, so if she gets it and stays for 6 months, I get $1000. I told her I'd split it with her, so I'll actually get $500, but still, it'll be a nice little bonus if it works out.
Tonight we start out plethora of games for the week. It should be a lot of fun, and will probably finish off the mini campaign. It's been a lot of fun, and I enjoyed DMing it.
Tomorrow, I have a game with
poisontaster that sounds really cool.
The coolest thing is that with my new schedule, I'll have 2 1/2 hours between work and game, so I will have time to eat and prep instead of having to prep in the morning and then suck down dinner.
Okay, time for me to get myself together for work! Everyone have a wonderful Tuesday!
