So in the midst of doing All the Grocery Shopping today, I stopped at my place of work to pick up a few minor things and check next week's schedule (it wasn't up when I left yesterday)...and it so happens that I'm about to enjoy a four-day weekend!! WOOOT! Also a plus: I've got all opening shifts next week, which is what I've been wanting since starting there, and this is due to bookkeeping training, which I mentioned previously. Said trainer is now back and in better health, and has been showing me the ropes.
The systems being used are a bit old, but thankfully the major one is Windows-based software. The downside is that two others are DOS-based so there's a bit of Former Day Job flashback. The GOOD thing is that unlike the FDJ, I won't be digging into files looking for problems, just doing a bit of data entry and simple processing.
So how do I feel about starting at 5:45am? Well, I know A is a bit annoyed that I'm waking up so stupid early (4:30 so I can shower/have breakfast/etc) but it's a small price to pay. I'm not sure if this is going to be permanent or just until further notice, but I'd rather be opening than all mid-shift (the busiest) or closing (the most exhausting). Slowly but surely we're hiring more people here and there, so once things have solidified a bit I think it might work out for the best.

That said...I've been woefully lazy these last few days with the writing, so I'd better start kicking my own ass to get back into the groove.
