Dozers

Saturday, October 12, 2024

Today, I must be at work by 8:30. This early shift is mine, hopefully only temporarily, while a colleague who usually works early shifts is on vacation.

Besides, the shift is earlier than usual. The store has suddenly changed its opening and closing times, moving them back by one hour. So this eight-thirty shift start, before this week, was a nine-thirty start. The colleague on vacation won’t be a bit happier about it than me.

This is as much blogging as I can crank out quickly. My remaining free early hours will be spent feeding the animals and preparing to leave for my outside job.

I’ve considered taking a hiatus from my part-time gig, but with the holiday season beginning, the store’s business has picked up. Like other large stores, ours has too few dependable employees, and it wouldn’t be right to leave my job now, not even for a while.

Dear Friends: I’m Old School worker, appreciating employment and sticking with it. Diana
