I wanted to wait and see how the night shift works before submitting my schedule requests for the coming schedule, which had a lot of night shifts open.
Turns out that the night shift will work out well for me. Largely for the people on the night shift. Like many medical facilities, the night shift has better cohesion and teamwork, does not engage in petty politics and meaningless power struggles which benefit nothing, none behave apathetically. Sounds like there was one previously on the night shift like that and is gone. Nobody regrets their absence. More autonomy and flexibility. Guess I'd call the work load about equal but different. I did not ask a single question all night and get ignored. Which had happened numerous times on evening shift and a little on day shift.
So, between that, the fact that nights will work out best for other things and it may offer higher pay, I signed on for a lot of night shifts. Most of which will come after 6/10, when the new schedule begins.
Well, the woman I was talking to online dropped the conversation with no warning. I think maybe she was looking for something other than what she was admitting. I was fine with just conversation. May have met for dinner or something like that. She said she wanted adult contact because she spends all her time working or with her kids. Wanted conversation and was only getting guys who wanted to hook up. Maybe I'll hear something more but I don't think so. Not going to chase, of course. For one thing, that just hands control over to her and gives up my control of myself. No thanks.
I'll just keep looking for some intelligent conversation. A perennially losing effort. Always has to be something else.
GF is supposed to come over this afternoon and we may go to Grease on the Greens. the movie being played outside. That is, if it doesn't get rained out. Big rain storm coming in today? What some at work said. Haven't checked the weather.
