Deterred

I'm on a whole new shift for now.... No more midnights! (Unless of course they volunteer me for OT). However, that means working hours that are much busier and under much more scrutiny of my internet usage! I have to admit, I miss being able to check in with everyone daily, but I'm limited now, to doing it at home.... and there isn't alot of time at home these days. We are short two dispatchers and mandatory OT for all of us means working 16 hour shifts with just 8 hours off before we have to go back in. We still get our 2 days off, so that's when I'll be trying to post and keep up with everyone! We will probably be re-bidding shifts in another 3 months, once they've hired and trained 2 new dispatchers, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel! For now, well.... I'll do my best to keep up and hopefully provide all 5 of my readers some form of entertainment!

  1. Dang... that sounds like a real killer schedule you're working, Alison. Hopefully you're getting OT pay as well as OT hours out of this!

  2. I can tell that you are one of those golden employees that employers can count on. I just talked to my daughter & she just got a big atta girl at work because she is that kind of person too. Way to go & hang in there!! Hopefully, they appreciate you & you'll get an atta girl too!
