I'm now going to go limp with relief....
Yes, I'm up awfully early for me, but I had to deal with what work dealt me Saturday. I just happened to check my schedule around 10 PM---I was actually looking up vacation time I have scheduled, because unless we have training, my schedule doesn't change except for things like break times, and that's on a day-by-day basis---and some genius had me scheduled for 5-day weeks starting TODAY.
I *did* recently discuss the possibility of going up to 40 hours (from my current 32), but I specifically said 4 10-hour days, NOT a 5-day week with a like number of commutes. And I certainly didn't expect them to change my schedule with no warning! I freaked, fired off an email to Sweetie Boss, who is my direct supervisor, left a message on her desk to reinforce it, and then this morning I called bright and early and hyperventilated in her ear.
She called it a "miscommunication" with someone who does the scheduling, and says it will be fixed today. (She is made of awesome---she was a rep when I first started, and she and I have always gotten along well---she appreciates my sense of humor.)
I've had that hanging over me for the last 36 hours---thank heavens that's taken care of!
Now all I have to do is summon the energy to go over to Kat's with a bagzilla or two and clean out my car. She has a nice, flat driveway with a shaded carport, whereas I have a steeply sloping driveway with very little shade. She wins....
