Settling Down
Well, things at Security job have settled down a bit. For one, I won’t be working my graveyard dispatch shift as long as I’m in the office during the day. So getting some sleep is a distinct possibility. Second, I’ve decided not to take the director position. I’m not a director. However, I will be staying in that chair in an administrative capacity until they find a new director, and with me there, they have time to find someone competent. After that, I’ll be moved back to graveyard dispatch, but full time.
Today was payday in the office, which is normally a mad zoo. Dozens of guards come in all at once to get their paycheck, and usually most of them have some problem or another with their pay. Considering the situation that I got thrown into, I was prepared for the onslaught. I think I only saw about 6 or 7 people for payroll problems. I was told that it was the easiest payday we’ve had in a long time, so for that the kudos and high-fives were flowing freely, all in my direction. That felt good, not only that I did that good a job but also that I was recognized for all my hard work. As long as I’m in the office, I’ll have a bump in pay. I’m kinda hoping that I can stay in the office on a longer term basis, because now that I have the hours somewhat regulated I can handle it, plus it’s day hours, which I can do for a much longer period than graveyard shift.
This weekend I’m looking forward to having some time to do laundry and clean my disaster area of an apartment. It will feel so good to get some personal things tended to, and to have some time off. If we get all the shifts that are open for the weekend filled, and can clean up the scheduling boards a bit, then I should be able to take the weekend off. So looking forward to that!
