So I got my position in the shift bid. I am 10 out of 15. It's an o.k spot in most circumstances, but in this case not so great. The first 9 shifts end before midnight and I would gladly take any one of those, but in less someone chooses a midnight shift. I as the lowly number 10, will be stuck with a crummy shift. BOO to that. However I am aware of one individual, Victoria that doesn't mind the later shift, so if she chooses that I will be o.k. (otherwise I'm screwed!). If I do get a crummy shift I think I will go to the human resource manager and tell her that this is the reason I didn't want to be collections trained. I have been here 8 months and there are new billing people that have better shifts than me. I'll just complain to my team manager and her and I'm pretty sure I can work it so I could get a better shift. I'm cute and I can use it to my advantage! (hahaha) Yesterday I went into my schedule planner and cancelled some days off in August that I had booked off randomly and went into the planner and requested to have Oct 22,23, and 24 off (so I can go to Montreal and attend a Madonna concert) and I was APPROVED!! Later when some more of my banked time actually gets added to the planner-it takes forever- I will request to have Oct 21 off as well. I'm excited, I've never been on a plane before and I've never seen Madonna (and likely never will again-although, maybe... this is like her 160 farewell tour isn't it?) :) Yesterday I did some off phone work!! I didn't even start until 3pm and I was off the phones until 6pm, then I only had to log on for 1/2 an hour because my lunch was at 6:30pm!! Woohoo!! I hate the phones..... and people.....people for the most part suck!! Today Sam and are meeting Alica & John, and Joanne and Eric at the Snooty fox for beer and nacho's, it should be a nice evening. Which reminds me I have to call and make some reservations. Saturday Jackie will be arriving, I am excited to see her (and meet Steve). Mom said she was thinking of coming to Fredericton, I'm not to sure how far that thought got, but it would be nice to see her if she can make it. I was at work the other day and Joanne (who also worked at Connect) came over and told me that we have to go to court some time in June, she showd me my name on the great big sheet of paper she had and it said that I was entitled to alittle over $500. That will come in handy. I have to get Gizmo some more needles next week and another ultrasound, I think she has another Kidney or bladder stone, hopefully this time we can catch it early enough to avoid another surgery. It's only benn 6mths since her last one and I feed her this expensive preventative food, what's up with that?! She should not have gotten another one this early! I should go straighten up the apartment and get showered and dressed....Oh and "note to self-buy an antivirus for the computer"....:)
