Health or no, I am outta here!

The schedule for June came out Wed afternoon, I told my boss Thursday morning, taht while I realize he is working on moving me to another shift (they have been "wroking on it" for 3 months now) That I can't do this anymore. Sleeping is getting more difficult, and I am so worn out it isn't funny. I knew there would be an adjustment period switching to overnights, but 8 months?? It isn't going to happen. Soooo, health issues be darned, I am actively looking. I sent a resume to one place (domestic violence intervention shelter) and we will see what happens. The hospital where my friend works is hiring secretaries, and they train and benefits start day one (although they are not as good as what I have here, I will give them that, our benefits are good and CHEAP!) I am going to consider applying for a dispatcher job in a neighboring county, but they have 12 hour shifts, and I still won' t be able to work an overnight shift, that will be a problem, but I will apply and see what happens. They start part time, but have a high turnover so FT opens fast! i did get a nice surprise Thursday afternoon, the title to my car came in the mail, I thought I had another 4 months to pay, but I had paid a little over when I could, guess I got it done early WHOO HOO so that makes a change easier, I can afford a slight pay cut.. that helps alot! I will keep y'all updated.. thanks for the continued support!

Hey Brianna, That really sucks about your schedule. I know what it's like when they're "working on it". That's what they were doing with my FT job for 2 years. It definitely gets old after a while. Some people just can't work midnights. I'm pretty much the opposite, I am soooo not a morning person. I like the 4-12 shift, but will work midnights anytime to get out of being on days. I feel bad for anyone who gets stuck on a shift they hate. Midnights are extremely difficult to adjust to if you're not a natural night owl. Even being one myself, I get pretty spent by around 4:00 am. Those last few hours are a killer. Good luck with the jobe hunt, I hope a great one will come your way soon. Great news about the car title. It couldn't have come at a better time. Carol

Thanks Carol, So far the hunt is unsuccessful, but I am not hard core hunting, yet, but that will be changing. it used to be the 5th or 6th day of my rotation (we work 6 on, 2 off) before I felt totally dead, but lately here I am worn out my first ngiht back, and it goes downhill from there.. not a good sign. Thanks again for the support!!
