Blogging about work is a rarity because of the level of media monitoring by our company.
However, I am able to tell you about a change of hours that I brokered recently.
My shifts were becoming difficult because circumstance meant I was doing work planned for the evening shift before mine during my mornings in, then spending my two afternoons trying to catch up with the morning work. This was exhausting.
This has gone on for some time now so so last week I suggested a shift change to all afternoon/twilights onto the eveining shifts that weren’t working out. The management snatched my hand off putting a rota together and shaping the team’s hours around me within the day.
Although nothing had been said to me it sounds like the bosses were aware of the problem and were glad to receive a quick solution.
It is nice to think that just a few years ago I wouldn’t have contemplated working evenings because of the level of work at home. It simply wouldn”t have been fair to leave Gill to do it all.
But our girls are getting older and even the little one is coping for herself more.
The early mornings were harsh too and Gill noted that when I did the evening shift I was a lot more chirpy.
So it’s all change. The rota falls nicely because I get a four day break now before it kicks in. Bonus!
On a different note, my weight is down to 179 pounds from almost 200 in October. That’s a BMI of less than 28 for the technically minded (down from 31). October’s Dechox for the British Heart Foundation is going well despite Mum bringing a huge box of chocolates last week! Dear heart has no idea.
My latest walk resulted in me breaking my boots which is a bit of a set back. They’ve only done 30 miles but then again I only paid £14 for them! Have to get some new ones or risk the pounds returning. I have got a gymn membership card but haven’t had the Introductory mug walk yet so haven’t actually cast any sweat yet. Must get that sorted.
Hope you’re well.
