A New Shift, A New Season

I have worked on a weekend shift ever since I began working for the WalMart distribution center 6091 in Henderson. The only schedule I have known since 2005 is the one I am about to leave. I used to work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Well, just this week I got a transfer to a Weekday shift. Now I will be working Tuesday - Friday mornings, 4 am till about 2 pm. The times may not be right, but I'll find out soon enough. (I like this picture to the left here...it was a day when I had to go to work with some borrowed boots that were about 3 times too big. It reminds me that sometimes we have big shoes to fill. I feel like that with this shift change.)

What does this mean for our family? I haven't been able to go to church in over a year now! With this new schedule, I can finally start going to church regularly and get involved in the Sunday activities of the church.

This schedule will also free up our weekends (which all the rest of the world has off) for visiting family. This also means that I will be able to go to more of Ben's football games in the fall since he'll be playing on Saturdays!

My new position in Shipping will be quite a challenge, but I am ready to face that challenge head on. "INTO FIRE!" as the Scarlet Pimpernel says. This will also make me a more experienced supervisor so when a promotion opportunity rolls around, I'll be a prime candidate.

Well, here goes nutin'!
