New work shift

rickvsThis afternoon, I start my new schedule, which'll begin between three and four pm. This should help us better address those work orders turned in by our salespeople late each evening ...which are nevertheless due at 9 or 10 am the following day. It also means I'll be answering fewer phone calls and be less distracted by well-meaning salesfolk during the day, and should therefore be more efficient.
My production manager envies me :>
Since between us, he and I have been putting in something like 120 hours per week, we hear tell that they'll be hiring at least one more staff member soon ...and after that, productivity should really improve.
In other news, Rachal is still somewhat fuzzy-headed, and we're adjusting her meds to address that. She seems to be having fewer headaches, however, and her lungs don't hurt as much -- but her legs have been driving her up the wall. We finally got the names of a couple of home-therapy companies recommended by her primary care physician, so we'll be calling in Monday to try to arrange for ongoing visits from a nurse.
My new schedule may also mean a raise, but it will certainly mean less stress on me, and less time when Rachal is home alone with no-one available to check on her.
