I’ve been working this new job for almost two months now and it still seems like I started a couple weeks ago.  I remember why I didn’t like third shift last time and that’s because it seems like I don’t get any time to do anything.  It makes me want to sleep the day away and regret not getting anything done when I decide I need to sleep an extra hour or two when my alarm goes off.

A few weeks after I started, the announcement was made that a company called ACS would be taking over operations for our department.  At first there were layoff rumors going around, which really had me worried because I’m in no rush to be umemployed again.  Long story short, they hired in all of the people working for Kelly Services that wanted to stick around and then did away with Kelly Services in favor of the temp agency they normally use.  I applied, had a fairly informal interview after my shift, and was hired in pretty much right away.   The downside is that my pay was cut down a bit.  The upsides are that I’ll hopefully be moving to second shift as the lady who was on second shift decided to not accept the ACS take over.  I haven’t been able to look over the benefits package and such, but I’m also hearing that there may be some sort of performance-based monthly bonus or something, which would be fantastic.

I wish I had more to say but I really haven’t gotten much done since I started third shift.
