Changing your entire "self" for 2 days, off the on...Nope! Nights for 3 month, days for 3 month -- I'd not like but could adjust. 2 on/2 off you just have to give it up and stay pretty much on that schedule.

When kids were school age, I worked full time. Usual rush home, fix dinner, help homework, get them to bed. THEN housework got done. I swear, even after they were out, that night schedule for housework stuck!!! Hard to switch a habitual schedule.

Mon night/Tues am activity:

My Beamer is broken. Nobody here tonight seems to know exactly what's going on but there are pieces all over. Some big repair/maintenance I assume. I thought that I would take the opportunity to give it a really good cleaning but I was told to not touch it until they finish. Soo, tonight was 5 hrs of cleaning the break room. Washing walls, air vents in the ceiling, scrubbing the floor, trying to clean the baseboards, thick scum around all the door knobs, fridges & microwaves , tables & chairs, coffee station, etc.
Then cleaning about 100 little wheels that someone on day crew had removed from the middle of the Beamer & set on a work table. They'll probably be mad in the morning that I finished it for them..
Then the entry & guest check-in area & safety notice board.

It's 3am. I'm bored. The supervisor said to keep in mind that I've got 12hrs tomorrow so I had better leave something....

I'm super grateful that they aren't sending us home. 4hrs to go.

Spruce up the break room? Paint? Hang pictures? Sweep floors out in the shop?

My Beamer is broken.

Early. Just getting coffee...read this and my little mind said -- she drives a BMW????

THEN realized it was your equipment at work.

she drives a BMW????

I thought that too - except I thought of a BMW motorcycle, lol. (DH used to have one)

Glad I'm not alone on the first impression "Beamer"!

They'd better fix your beamer quick or things around their place are going to look unrecognizable soon.

There's an opening on day shift!!!!

It's not my old team and it would be primarily working in the creel - being the relief Beamer operator for breaks & lunch & days off.
.... but... the creel is a more active position - LOTS of walking & reaching. And I'd be switching back & forth for breaks & lunches with a very experienced Beamer Op so I'd have lots of opportunities to pick up more tips & tricks.

There's also a position in a different part of the plant making fiber. Kind of like the step before it gets to the Creel/Beamer. And that one is week days!

I put in for both!

After 25 age, those nights are tough!!!

Good luck....but, somehow I feel you'll get one. You've proven you're worth.
