I don't like change. Yes, I know change is a part of life, and so on and so forth, but once I'm in something, I like to keep it that way. I think this is something that has happened to me as I've gotten older, cuz I sure as heck wasn't like this in my early 20's.
Anyway, I've been in my job now for a little over three years. For the first 18 months, I couldn't change positions within my agency due to training requirements, but after that I had to bid on a specific position within the agency, and couldn't stay where I had done all my training. That was fine with me, cuz I wasn't happy where I was. I completely lucked out with my current position. It's a reasonable distance away, I love the individuals I work with, no behaviors I can't deal with, and I have the best boss I have ever had in any job, ever, in my entire life.
I also has a great schedule...up until June. Our schedules are seniority based, and my boss has very little control over it. So when someone with more seniority than I have took my days off, I basically started threatening to bid out. My boss pretty much begged me not to, and since I am so happy there, I agreed to try to make it work.
Four months of this and I am done. I still love my position, and don't want to leave, but working overnights and weekends, every weekend, is killing me. I hardly get to spend any time with Marley, and I have no life.
So I finally bid out on another position. I didn't get it (it's all seniority based), but it's made me realize that I need to make a change.
So, for now I'm stuck, which means no Contraception (unless something miraculously changes before then, which I doubt). I plan on regularly looking at the open positions at my job to bid out on, and to start looking for a position with a different agency. They kind of have me in golden handcuffs though, as I will not be able to find a position elsewhere that pays as much.
So, if I want the schedule to do things, I'll lose the money to do it with.
