I honestly can't stand when someone asks me to make a 'life' changing decision and practically demands an answer right away. I don't really mean life changing but I can't think of another word, basically it's a big decision that will change my future for a little while. Today at work, this new manager asked me if I was willing to switch over to over nights because one of the over night workers was quitting and she said it was a guaranteed four nights a week, and plus I would make 8.25 an hour instead of 7.25, and on Sundays when I make 8.25 now, I would make 9.25 then. All of that sounds really nice, I mean I would work 24 hours a week, I would be making more money, I would basically be left alone, and I wouldn't have to deal with management *cough cough
Randy* But there are a few downfalls to taking the position, one is well obviously it's over night from 12-6 and I don't know when I'm expected to start the position but I'm guessing it's soon and I can't all of a sudden sleep during the day and work from 12-6, that's just mahogany. Another is, since I don't have a car I rely on my mom and brother, and at 6 AM my mom is getting ready for work, and now she would have to interrupt her schedule and pick me up. Also my brother got a new job which is 45 minutes away and sometimes he works until 11:30 so that doesn't work. What if I got sick? I can't exactly call off. Plus, over night workers do a lot more than cashiers during the day, they restock, they set up the registers, and of course ring up the new customers that come through. I mean the pay is amazing and my introvert self is beyond pleased that I would basically be left alone but it's a lot to think about, and I had to answer by 5. Ultimately I said no, but I'm of course over thinking everything and I think I might of made a mistake.
Although, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my mornings and I would miss some of the other cashiers.
Ugh it's all so confusing.
