My schedule sucks.

  • My schedule sucks.

    I never know what days I'm working, just that I'm working 5 days a week every week. Often, they'll try to work us on weekends because that's when the steel mill is down and bigger projects can get done when stuff is turned off. Also, sometimes weeks will stack together. I might work 10 days in a row because the weekends connect the two weeks.

    I really miss going to church, too. I won't have as many opportunities to go with my current job. My idea is to work myself out of it as best as I can. I know that I'll eventually be laid off, but I think that won't be until after October.

    You know, nothing in the rule book says you can't be looking for another, better job while you are working for this company.

      I really, really wish that was the case. However, I'm with an apprenticeship program and I'm not allowed to quit a job without being kicked out of the program.

        Oh, well, that's different then.

        Still, as long as it gets you where you're going and it's not forever...

          Thankfully it isn't forever. I actually do like what I do, but I just hate the chaotic schedule. At least I make time and a half on weekends.
