Easter
Life is good.
Work has been good. A couple days ago, I was chosen to be floor support for one of the new training classes while they're learning how to take calls. It meant a lot to be chosen, because it means that my stats are good and that I "know my stuff". For only being on the floor out of training for a little more than a month, it really boosted my confidence in my job... I needed that.
This is my last week on my current schedule. Starting May 1, everyone begins their new shift. For me, it's Sundays and Mondays off then Tuesday thru Saturday working 2:45 until 11:30. This is one of the worst shifts but it has two days off in a row, so it's the best I could have gotten being so low on the seniority list. Maybe by this time next year I'll have an awesome shift. They've had about 6 training classes since my class started, which means there's at least 75 people who will be behind me during the next shift bid.
I think my next paycheck will reflect my raise. It wasn't much, but I also didn't have to negotiate it, it was just given to me. It'll bump me up a few cents an hour, which is fine by me. My new shift actually comes with a shift premium because they know the shift sucks. So anyone who starts after 2:30 gets an extra 10% in their hourly pay. That'll look nice every week.
Everything is basically in place for the wedding. I just have to find someone to do my hair. I have someone in mind, someone who's done my hair so many times that I trust her but I will call her tomorrow to see if she can do it. If she can't, I'll just start calling random salons to see who's open on a Sunday that early.
These are just some random thoughts I've been thinking about lately. I want to remember this crazy time in my life when it's far behind me.
