Shift update (July 2015 edition)

I always give myself three or four weeks before I ultimately decide if I like the shift I'm on or not. Anyway, I found myself hating the new shift, and wished I had made the new night shift my first choice. Further irritation was caused by not getting partial days off for the day after the Kentucky Derby, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or the morning after July 4th.

This month, an opening for my department's night shift finally opened up, so I put in for it, and got it, starting on July 27th. I'll be working the same days I worked before the shift change in April (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday), but instead of working 6:30a.m. to 5:00p.m., I'll be working 5:30p.m. to 4:00a.m.. My Friday nights are pretty much fucked, but I have my Sundays back, and without the annoyance of trying to get up around 5:00 on Monday mornings.
