And so the week begins

My work week begins on Thursdays now. I'm very fortunate to be on a 4-day 10-hour schedule rather than working 5×8. At least, I think I'm fortunate. Seems to be OK so far. Having three days off every week sure seems to be pretty nice.

One upside of having recently been converted from a contract employee to a regular employee (have I mentioned that before? I forget) is that, much to my surprise, I now get a "differential" for working nights and weekends. Differential, as in overtime.

Niiiiiiiice.

My work days now start at 2pm rather than 4pm. The only downside I've noticed so far is that if I need to get something done outside the house before work, I have to get up earlier and really hustle to get it done before work starts. I'm still of a mind that having three days off every week is more than adequate compensation for that minor difficulty.
