Oh, and I needed to do my time sheet for this pay period. Okay, that's done, and my lunch is packed, and I did a few (very few) dishes. Something tells me I'm not walking to work today.
I've also been good and passed a few things on to the binne and polynne lists which I should have ages ago, and assembled them a short poll to try to stimulate conversation. Lord knows that never works.
I forgot to mention, we drew tiebreaker numbers for seniority, yesterday. I'm in the twenties on the full list, and about the sixth female. Which means I'm not likely to get weekends off anymore. I'll probably end up with something sucky like a Thursday/Friday weekend. I'll have to rearrange all my vacation plans for the summer, because most of them depended on me and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eor being able to get three day weekends together. If I'm so lucky as to get Friday/Saturday it will only mean swapping all the Fridays off for Sundays off, but if it's Thursday/Friday it will become pretty close to impossible. Some plans may have to be canceled because I don't think I'll have enough leave time.
I shouldn't be worrying about that yet, though - I should push that to the back of my mind until I know what's actually going to happen.
I overheard the scheduling manager talking to a screener about why we don't keep the seniority list the way it is and offer open shifts to the next person on the list. He thinks that would make us constantly in a shuffle, as people leave. Person X leaves, and Schedule A is offered to Person 1. Person 1 takes Schedule A, Schedule B is now open. Person 2 is offered Schedule B and takes it. Person 3 is offered Schedule C and takes it, etc, etc. I don't think it would actually be all that difficult, though, because at some point you get the manpower needs on the shifts balanced out. It would be work for him. IMHO, our managers need more to do.
