...to my Pity Party!
When: Now
Where: wherever you are
Why: My husband works all the time!
What to bring: your violin
So, I thought moving back to Raleigh was going to be this fantastic thing. I mean, I am married to a super dude, living in the city I LOVE, and having two incomes (Does mine even count?).
We found out after his first visit to his new plant that he would have to work the second shift (i.e. 2:30 until 11:30 pm) until December. Sigh. The guy who he is replacing on first shift is retiring at the end of December. After December, he will be put back on first shift (i.e. normal hours). I found the positive in this! At least we are in Raleigh! They could have left us in Sumter until December!
So we moved back and they told us that the second shift hours wouldn't start until October! Awesome!
What they didn't tell me (not sure why HR hasn't contacted me) is that he would be working all day!!! He goes in to work in the morning and doesn't get home until 7:30 or 8:00. WHAT!!! That means he is working like 12 or 13 hour days.
Me being the good wife that I am waits for him to get home for dinner! My kids (that means students) and I eat lunch at 11:10. That means I wait like 8 hours before eating dinner. He comes home most nights to a wife that has eaten her arms off!
Okay, so I found the positive in this one. He is so good at what he does, loves his job, and doesn't mind the long hours. I'm really happy for him!
Here is the next part...now they are working on Saturdays! Fantastic. Now I only see my husband for 2 hours a night (I have to go to bed early because I require lots of sleep!) and on Sundays!
It gets better...he comes home this past Wednesday and says they are working on Sundays now!
Now every other weekend until who knows when...my husband words Monday through Friday and every other Saturday and Sunday! And, he isn't even on the "real" second shift yet.
Starting next week, he'll work until 11:30 at night and every other FULL weekend!
I found the positive in this one...I will see him in January!!!!
Hey! "AT LEAST IT ISN'T SUMTER!"
Okay, the party has ended! Needless to say, I have plenty of free nights and weekends if anyone wants to do anything! Love you all!!!

Hey, Little One, don't forget the other positive -- he has a job! Lots of folks out there might not mind all of the negs just to have a job. Sooo...January will be here sooner than you think and the days will start to lengthen again and you can have fun.
ReplyDeleteSomehow you made all the bad news hilarious!! I was laughing when reading that!! I hate that for you, but at least you are in Raleigh!! that is def. a positive :)
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in NC right after we got married, Hubs would leave for work around 6:30-7:00AM and get home anywhere between 8:00-9:30 PM. Then 4-5 nights a week, he was on call.
ReplyDeleteI somehow, still managed to get pregnant. This has been a warning!
