Yet another schedule change
Aug. 5th, 2005 01:38 pmI expect to be leaving the watchbill and going back to Mon-Fri admin shifts by the end of the month or so. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing... the whole reason I was training on the watchfloor was so that I would become familiar with the issues and challenges experienced on the floor so I would be able to better understand, and integrate, back office projects into current operations.
Being on the watchbill admittedly has both its ups and downs... the rotating shifts took some getting used to, and there seem to be more days off during the week... but the tradeoff is that the shifts are longer and that my weekends aren't always free. I also think I feel more tired after working a round of shifts than when I work straight admins during the week.
I'm neither elated nor sorry to leave the watchbill... it's simply a different experience that takes some getting used to.
One thing that going back to admins will probably do, though, is that it'll help give me a more regular PT -- and church -- schedule, something I've admittedly been missing since I started working the watch again.
