My "job" Pt 2

I'm working day shift! Which means, that I AM actually working :-)

I went to see Steve on Tuesday, showed him the ad that said that we were hired to do day or night shift according to our preferences. I also told him that I would leave if I didn't get day shift. He was a bit annoyed as this wasn't the information that he had told the recruitment agency to advertise (and I also doubt the recruiter had been telling him the truth about the ad) but he was gracious enough, and told me to wait until the afternoon... at which time he told us all that we would all get our initial preferences of day or night!

So yay!

None of my closer friends are doing day shift, but some of them may change. And hey, I don't really care - we'd have to sit at different workstations during the day anyway, and I'm not about to do night shift.

Interestingly enough, I've found out that I work 7.5 hrs during the day while night shift work only 6 hrs and FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF PAY. Crazy! So essentially I get 7.5 hrs worth of money more than them a week... which is grand.

Moving home... not my home though. -200th Post!

Last night it was officially decided that when the lease expires on the 12th May, Leanne and I won't be moving to a new apartment, but rather back to her parent's house.
The primary reason we are doing this is to reduce the financial pressure caused by living out of home, and then we can start looking for apartments when we have money for bond and the first rent payment (and I have reduced my credit card debt).
So. Lack of freedom for a few weeks. Which is ironic because freeing up money should give me freedom. Anyhow.
Was paid today at my new rate! We received a 15% pay rise two weeks ago, and this is the first pay packet I have received at the new rate. It's awesome, I received about $40 more than usual, despite working 8 hours less! How awesome is that?! I now look forward to a week without public holidays so that I can find out what my normal pay shall be! Woohoo!

HEY! Just realised this is my 200th post! Yay! Celebrate!
