I mentioned that there were big changes afoot at work, with a new communication/logging system, a new pay system, and a new dispatch system.
Well, the first two may work just fine, but the new dispatch system, where our week is essentially planned by a computer program and then assigned according to seniority, has changed my usual 4-day week, usually made up of two overnight trips starting Tuesday and Thursday, into a 5-night week, consisting of one overnight trip starting at night and 4 addition local runs at night.
I don't like night work. I don't sleep well during the day. And this is going to kill my shelter volunteer work.
