Well, the night shift guy I’m supposed to be in the final stages of training - who is a friend of a friend that I got in here because we desperately needed someone for night shift and he was the only one to respond to my Facebook post - is now 2 and a half hours late. Tried texting him twice and called him 5 times now, and no answer.
Plus the first shift guy is going on indefinite medical leave starting Monday, and the girl who’s on essentially a floater shift (between first and second) already covered nights for 2 months before we got this guy in, so if he’s fired (which he probably will be) after tonight, that means there’s only 2 of us in the lab now.
Which means I’m going to be stuck on 12-hour night shifts 5-6 days a week for at least a month now, and that’s assuming we manage to hire someone for third shift, like, tomorrow. And that they work out.
I’m so very fucking over this shit. I want to get back to my normal noon-10 shift, which was supposed to happen on Monday, but now god fucking knows when or if that will ever happen.
I guess at least I’ll be able to save a lot more money while I have no time to do anything but work and sleep for the foreseeable future.
