Shifting Gears for the Winter.
5 years ago
Hard to believe it's been a whole year since I typed up a new journal.
I suppose no news is good news unless I actually post some bad shit on here.
Thankfully this one has no mention of good or bad, just some big changes going on.
I'll just get on with it then.
The majority of you know that I work at the Indiana State University in Bloomington as a Custodian.
Now then, because the majority of the students and staff have returned home for the winter, scheduled to return in February.
There's no telling whether they will return at that time or they'll stay home for even longer periods of time.
Anyway, they're cutting back on the custodial crew, but rather than lay us off, they're shifting us to different departments.
In my case, it's with the landscape department.
Thankfully I'm already well versed in this trade, so that's some good news.
There is, however, one complication that I have to keep in mind: the cold.
Everyone that knows me, knows that my body and the cold DO NOT MIX well.
Thankfully I did some shopping with my boyfriend's sister to get the recommended clothing I'll be needing for this new job.
All that's left is to wait for my starting date on November 30th.
There's also one other thing.
The change in vocations also means a schedule change.
Rather than working from 5:30pm to 2:00am on the weekdays, I'll be working the same days, except from 7:00am to 3:30pm.
This does complicate things a little with my boyfriend.
You see, he works in the evenings, so in order to spend time with him, I'll have to divide up my sleep schedule into two increments of 4 hours a piece rather than a full 8 hours at once.
This will definitely be quite a challenge to shift to, but I'll manage somehow.
One other thing, I've been messaging and calling the bunch of you on Telegram and my cellphone while I was a custodian because of how lonesome and quiet it would get.
I won't be able to do that anymore while doing landscape work due to having to keep my attention on my surroundings because let's face it, when you're exposed to nature like this, ANYTHING can kill you, but I'll save the horror stories for another time.
That's the end of that.
Hopefully you guys understand and adjust accordingly. ^^
You guys stay safe out there.
I'm outta here!
