jon_chaisson I finally have a Sunday off after multiple weeks of working through the weekend! Yay! I was looking forward to spending a bit of time with A walking through the park, getting some coffee at one of our favorite places, then heading over to the farmer's market. Sure, doing a bit of shopping for fruit might be uneventful, but it's always fun to head to the top of Clement Street and work through the stalls, check out all the tasty foods and try out the free samples. Plus, whenever we do go, we always stop for brunch somewhere. Today was at Cafe Bunn Mi for, yes, banh mi's. In this case, crispy duck! So filling that our plans for dinner are now essentially salad, bread and cheese!
I've been talking with my boss about marking me as permanently unavailable on Sundays recently. Right now they've got me listed as available on opens and midshifts and they manually try to avoid putting me on Sundays, but that isn't always the case. I wanted to clear it with the head bookkeeper as when I do work on Sundays, it's most often because he's taking the day off as well. (His schedule is Sunday to Thursday, and I do the bookkeeping on Fridays and Saturdays.) He's fine with it, so at this point it's a matter of getting a third-string person that we can trust and not have to worry about, just for those occasional days where we need someone else to fill in. He's brought up a few names, so we'll see how that pans out.
Point being, I'd really like to make it permanent that I have Sundays free so A and I can plan to do things without having to wait for me to see the schedule on that Friday morning before the weekend. I've been there since 2022 and even the boss says I've more than earned it. Also, this might also mean that my second day off will most likely be midweek, and I certainly enjoy breaking up the work week like that. It gives me a break so I'm not exhausted by week's end!
