I just completed the last of nights for awhile. Now I will move back to the morning shift and it could not come at a better time. There is nothing good to watch during the morning and early afternoon. How many times can you watch the same highlight on ESPN's Sportscenter?
And when coming home from work and trying to unwind before going to bed, there is nothing on but informercials. And most of them are for Girls Gone Wild which apparently is all done because they will receive a free shirt.
I am supposed to start at 7 tomorrow, but I think I will get in around 6 so I can help get my boss up to date on some things. But as far as now, I feel pretty comfortable in everything that is happening. I even had my first confrontation with a coworker yesterday. The supervisor for second shift's converting department (takes the sheets we make and then run through another machine to form the box with the print) has been told to get some big numbers in converting.
Well, yesterday, as I was walking out to the floor to hand them a new lineup schedule for the day, I see the converting supervisor walking away from the corrugator. So I asked the operator what did he want and what is he trying to move ahead in the schedule.
They pointed what he "we" were going to do instead. So I asked them to hold on before doing that. I confronted the guy and basically said it was pretty disrespectful to take a schedule we are making and then decide without our knowledge to move things in a different order. We have notes and instructions for our boss and things cannot be moved without our approval. I ended up having to work a little longer yesterday because he came up to apologize for that and said he would make sure it would not happen again. He said he respected that I stood up for myself and all future conversations will be coming from the scheduler.
I got to play cards last night with my friends and of course lost every time I had a better hand then someone who moved all in.
I got beat with KK v AK (got a straight). Lost with JJ v 97 after the flop was 10, 7, 7.
I lost with A8 v KJ. And then I was knocked out of the tournament with AK v AJ and they flopped the jack.
Sometimes, I hate this game.

See, I told you it would be better. Just be patient. I like how the Supervisor apologized to you. That means he does respect you. Probably did not have that level of respect before with the other guy! That would explain why he changed the schedule from what you set up.
Two nice things about being a stay-at-home-mommy:
1. The only person who can change your schedule is you.
2. Any arguments can end with "I'm the mommy and I say so"
I can't tell you how many times I wished I could use #2 when I was at B&V.
