meccahiThat was... fun. In the explosive enema sort of way.
Had my quarterly review this morning after my shift.
Notified my supervisor that I was in all likelihood leaving them in December. Wheeee! That went over like a Pound O Poo.
See, they decided to switch to a new alarm processing software 2 weeks before Christmas. For financial reasons they say. Specifically, the last weekend of Louisiana, where, Hell or high mighty freaking water, I have to be there. And they have denied ALL time all in December. And also decided to throw in as a bonus "Expect to pull 14 hour days and 60 hour weeks during that time". Which I can understand because all of us have to learn the new software Pronto. Doesn't make it any less a sour message.
Then my supervisor went on to say that they can no longer accommodate my shift switch for working the Arizona show, and that I cannot take more than a day off outside of my schedule. I understand that as well, because hey, it's a 24 hour dispatch center and we go through people like a bran muffin through the colon. But all of this ads up to me looking at this as a "choose your own adventure" chapter and trying to decide which page to skip to next.
The decision has been pretty much made. Goodbye pretty pretty paycheck. Hello massive brokeness and debt, but much less stress in the way of work. This job has taken it's toll on my life, both personal and professional. I'm done. The amount of angst that I've gone through for it just doesn't seem worth the battle. I make more money now than I ever have in my life, and yet, I'm still in debt, so why not be in debt and be at least moderately happy? I'm a pretty resourceful girl and I think I can make this work without going too hungry.
Guess I'll find out in December eh?
