In which I don’t have to be at work until one o’clock tomorrow afternoon.

Due to a personnel change at work, I’m now going to be the closing technician. Starting tomorrow.

Which is fine. You know how I feel about mornings.

Trying to get a fixed schedule is proving to be difficult though, because I need a lot of Fridays and Saturdays off for gigs and the other evening employee – the one with seniority – is in his twenties and wants those same nights off too. We’ve been trying to settle on a schedule between the two of us for the past four hours and basically gotten nowhere.

Which means that I’ll be working the following weird schedule for the next couple of weeks:

Thursday 1:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Friday 1:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Saturday 11:00 am – 8:00 pm
Sunday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Monday 1:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Pretty sucky, huh? I wish I could work Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 10:00 with occasional Fridays off for gigs, but considering the NOC’s necessary coverage needs and the available warm bodies it really doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

My boss said he’ll make sure I get my days off together, at least. I’m just afraid they won’t be days I actually need to have off; if I were to gig in Richland on a Saturday night I probably wouldn’t get to bed until three. Getting up four hours later to work the Sunday day shift? Would be pretty much unbearable.

Oh well, it’ll all work out! No moar waking up at six in the morning, at least!
