update

An update on my real life situation; I was able to transfer to another position in the organization I work. It pays a little more but its a big adjustment since I've gone from evening shift to day shift. I no longer rotate working weekends with a co-worker (who was also able to get a transfer) but I actually liked that because it gave me a chance to exercise at the Heart Center which employees of my workplace get to do at certain times of the day. Other things I liked was parking in the garage and using the cafeteria which sometimes didn't have particularly good food but it meant 3-5 meals per week I didn't have to make.

Now that I've finished whining I'll say that I'm immensely relieved and grateful for this opportunity and the support I've had from family and friends not least my former boss and I realize how fortunate I am. I'm still in the adjustment period but it seems like something I can do; hopefully for at least 15 years.
