SHIFT BID

When you are 153 out of 160, there isn't much of a "shift bid." But, theoretically, as a close relative would say, I did my shift bid last week. I still have Sun/Mon off, but I will be on a flex-shift of 1-4 pm; whenever I start I'm off 8 hrs later. I could be off as early as 9 or as late as midnight.

One good point is that I can sleep in. Another one is that Wiener will have 24-7 care. She will love it. Bob and I will wave at each other as we pass in the night or early morning hours. I'll be coming home about the time he goes to work and he will be coming home about the time I have to go to work. And, of course, we don't have the same days off. It will also impact my participation in the Christmas program. I will have this shift for about 6 months unless a shift becomes available and no one else wants it. Oh well. It's only life.

It was a privilege to be able to go to a new resort restaurant on Thursday. I think it might be a little too "limited" for the "usual" palate, but everything was interesting, at least. (The desserts are to die for) And, I had several friends and relatives with me. A good time was had by all.

On Tuesday or Wednesday, I will take a tour of the new resort. One of the advantages of my job is that we get to visit all the new "things" that open so that we are able to answer questions about the areas. I am looking forward to doing that also.

I don't know how my new shift will work out, but it is certainly something new and different. I'll keep you posted.
