Well, things they are a'changin
Couple of weeks ago, I popped in to visit a buddy of mine, We used to work together as a dispatcher team at Swift transportation. I 'moved on', but Ronnie stayed with them. He works the overnight shift 1800-0600, so I've been stopping to visit when I get in from my courier runs at oh dark hundred. On this visit, he mentioned that they were hiring for ECT (extended coverage team) and that they hadn't posted the ad yet. I slept on it, and put my resume in, and applied. Had a face to face interview with the terminal manager, caught up on old times and then started the waiting game. A week ago friday, I got the call. I start tomorrow. Full time ,albeit funky shifts... I'll be working saturday and sunday 0600-1800, then monday & tuesdays 1200-2130, and every other wednesday 1200-2130. Full time, decent benefits and i'll be off the road.
My contract with the courier service states I have to give them three weeks notice, I did, and I'll wrap up with them on the 8th of January. Going to be a busy week and a half... 13 days straight. I'm going for 'orientation' tomorrow, and I'll work days this coming week. I'm presuming I won't work the weekend, so I'll fulfill my contracted days, and be 'done' with the scheduled delivery job. I think I will be pulling a few more stats though for the next couple of months, just a little extra money, working around the new job schedule
