OK, so I'm working 3 ten hour days now, Sunday through Tuesday. I dislike working Sundays, and have been hoping to be able to find a way to not do that anymore, preferably with a during-the-regular-work-week kinda shift.

Also, I may have to go full-time, which I'd do as 4 ten hour days.

OK. So, we get an email stating that there are some new shifts they'd consider transferring one to, if one but applies and has tenure and all that happy crap.

They're offering 5, I'm not considering the 5 8-hour day shifts or the 4pm to 2:30am shifts. There are 2 schedules that are the same hours I work now(9am to 7:30pm). The first is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. The supervisor is someone I feel neutral toward (not better or worse than my own, from what little I know of her). The cube is in a very nice location. The second is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. The supervisor is someone I like a lot, but cube is in an awful location (on an aisle, noisy and less private).

If I pick one of these up, I'd only work 3 days. Which three days? The schedule guru said he'd have to check the schedule before he knew, and would give me the option of staying in my old schedule if I didn't like it- i.e., if it would end up being Monday-Wednesday-Friday. I hate the idea of having my time off broken up like that. But, if I end up having to go full-time, it'll get broken up anyway if I take one of those shifts, and if I stay in my present shift it won't. But I may not have to go full-time. Crap, I don't know! What would you do? Here's my options; bear in mind, I'm only working 3 of the 4 shifts now and for the near future.

Edit: I only answered so I could see the poll without having to log out; I honestly don't have any preference at this point.

Thanks to all of you that have voted so far. I'm still undecided, though I'm tending to lean towards the 'devil I know' for now. Maybe I'll dick with my schedule when I have a better idea of what I'll be doing in a couple of months. I think I'd really prefer to be sure that I'll have consecutive days off; and while we're at it, it'd be nicer if I could come in earlier too.

My hair is growing back quickly. I can hardly see my scalp at all- hub refers to it as having qualities of pile. Pile! Carpet, he clarified. Bob's hair feels much softer than mine, like fur; it's been interesting to see the differences in hair growth. I finally decided to stop wearing the scarf to work... I'm not 100% sure why I did it in the first place beyond sun protection, but after awhile it just felt sort of pointless. So uncovered I go.

Hub is still trying to decide what to do with his facial hair. I like him with none, but he (and a lot of other people) thinks he looks better with a goatee. I hope to get a bunch of pictures of him before he grows it back... I've been being gently prodded by my muse to start drawing or painting or something- I have neglected that part of me for a little too long.
