dragonlady7I am so extremely irritated I am considering finally quitting my God-damned job.
The way the schedules work is that they put out a set of schedules, as many schedules as there are people, and then the employees all bid on them. They are awarded according to seniority-- i.e., if we all bid on the same ones in the same order, then #1 would get her first choice, #2 her second, etc. It doesn't work that way-- most people will get their first choice-- but the point is that you will get the first choice you want that nobody above you wants.
The scheduling manager took the schedule I have now, removed the single money-generating shift from it, and lumped it in with a full-time schedule, thereby making this part-time schedule into something that won't provide enough money for anyone to make a living off of. In short, she does not want me to work part-time.
I have to find out what Seniority #9 (I am #12) Guy wants. If he wants a full-time schedule, then rock on, and I could get a reasonable part-time schedule-- although still not as good as the one I have now. But he's never worked full-time.
There are three people above me who will want to work part-time. If I opt for part-time I will be working a ludicrous schedule.
There is a full-time schedule available that would be a very nice income generator. However. It would be 34 hours a week, and I would never see Z, as it is all evenings (until 8:30 every night, and all day on the weekends).
Pros: I'd make bank [I am guessing it would average about $500 a week, with some much lower but a few higher-- and this is fairly well-reasoned math here, not wild guesses-- I've worked these shifts before, and summers are busy]. I'd have Mondays and Tuesdays off, and those are two days not worth working. And they're bound to notice I don't merit health insurance, and cancel me, if I stay part-time, but if I take a full-time bid, then I'm golden: $19 a week for medical and dental, which is a damn sight better than my other options. The cheapest other option is $40 a week and doesn't cover serious illness-- which makes me wonder what the fucking point is, Gov. Pataki, you shit-eating useless pigfucker.
Cons: I still haven't finished that fucking novel. Z and I could never do anything this summer. We would never see one another. Also I hated life when I was working full-time. And as it is I will never finish this fucking novel.
Oh, hell: I'll make a poll.
[Poll #715775]
Qualifications, that wouldn't all fit within the poll form:
Option 1: I will never actually have time to go to Europe. And I don't need a car or a house.
Option 2: I don't actually ever use my health insurance. But this method ensures that, week to week, I will never fucking know how much money I will be making.
Option 3: I have no idea how much I would make at this place, and also, I would still lose my health insurance. I've been to the place several times but I've no idea how busy it usually is. And I don't know what kind of hours are available. And I don't have time to really talk to the fellow before the shift bids are due in-- which is May 1. Yeah.
And oh-- in Buffalo, the bars don't close until 4 am. The last time I was up until 4 am, I... Jesus, the latest I've stayed out in the last like five years is 1 am and that was damn late. (On New Year's I was in bed by 1.)

Date: 2006-04-24 03:45 pm (UTC)1st option also means not working till 4AM, if I got it well, so it's one more plus to go for it. And clear time when you have free days is a bonus, too.
