Schedule changes

Beginning next week my work schedule is changing, from the seven-to-four weekdays that it’s been ever since I started with the Empire, to six-to-three Tuesday through Saturday.  (Any of the other shifts available to me would have caused a bunch of logistical problems.)

Seven to four isn’t a bad schedule to work at all; I like how it allows time to Get Things Done before everyone closes and goes home at five.  Six-to-three will be, I think, rather more of the same.  However, having my “day job” take up Saturday is going to take getting used to again.  (Been there before, except it was my moonlight job that took up Saturdays then.)

The main change, though, is going to be getting up at 4:30 in the morning to be in Circulith by six.  I’ve never had to do that regularly before.  And it’ll also mean that L and M have to get up at 4:30 on Saturdays to take me to work, so they won’t be afoot and homebound all day.  L has NEVER liked 4:30 in the morning except as a time to go to bed.  (Of course, they can then come home and go BACK to bed.)

This is going to be very much an Experiment, to see whether I can stand giving up Saturday as a weekend day and getting Monday instead, and getting more afternoon free time at the expense of evening events. (Getting up at 4:30 means I have to go to bed earlier, and I never have liked that much.)
