Schedule Changes

Well, our week is off to an interesting start. Jay started his temp job with Aetna, which is definitely an answer to prayer. He loves it so far, although they've just been training and getting oriented the past 2 days. He works 10:00 - 6:30, which means he doesn't get home till about 7:00. The past 2 months, he's been here when I come home for lunch and when I get home from work, so I'm trying to get used to this new schedule. It's pitch dark and getting past dinner time by the time he gets here! I won't complain, though. We're both happy that he has this job, even if it's just for 2 months.
Several weeks ago, I put in for a schedule change at work. "They" have about 6 different schedules available, but about 5 of them are only open to so many people (like 8-10) per year. I submitted my request for the ones I wanted, but since it's based on a lottery system, I didn't expect to get any...although, I have been lucky with the lottery lately! :) Well, I found out tonight that I got two of them! That doesn't make any sense, but I think it was a mistake. I'm going to call tomorrow and see which one I actually get. My hope is that I'll get the 4-9-4 shift. That means I'd work 4 days of 9 hour shifts and then get one day with a 4 hour shift. The best part is, my 4 hour day is FRIDAY!!! Anyway, I should find out tomorrow if I get to keep that one. If so, it'll be effective January 2nd.
Only 11 sleeps till my family gets here! Whoo hoo!!
