Friday Night (AKA Saturday Morning...)

So the trend continues. Here I am, up at the crack of dawn and I finally find time to post. No new pics yet, mostly because I'm too lazy right now to go get my camera and upload them. Let's see- so today at work I officially applied for the full time swing driver position; or in other words, I have just sold my soul to the devil. Now Fedex really owns me. No longer can I hide behind the excuse,"Sorry, but I am part time, and I don't want to do that." You see at Fedex, part timers can opt to not work anything beyond their schedule. If I don't want to do anything extra, like make any extra deliveries or run late shuttles to the airport, as a part time employee, I can just say no. But no longer. It is a necessary step (read EVIL) that I have to take on my road to management. So hopefully I don't have to do it for too long. Maybe a year or so. And since this is a swing driver position, it means that I could be thrown on any route at any time, without any warning even if I have no idea how the route is structured. I just have to find a way to "Git'er Done!" And the hours are not going to be very pleasant either: 6:30am to 7:00pm, probably with a 2 hour lunch break somewhere in the middle. That's the thing I am not looking forward to, is being gone ALL DAY LONG. I'm sure Rachel is not thrilled about it either. But it won't be forever, and honestly, with the money I'll be making as a full time swing driver, Rachel wouldn't have to work at the bank anymore, but I think she wants to anyway just in case. Also to get out of the house and to have some real adult interaction during the week. She'll be working Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and I'll be home most Saturdays, so we will only have to worry about getting the kids to my parents house two days a week instead of four.
