Hey guys, I need some input.
My current job only has me scheduled for 15 hours a week (but we've been busy for the past three or four weeks so I've been getting around 22hrs, sometimes more) but since I've been there I think the closest I've come to a 40 hour week was 32 hours, and that was only once or twice (been there since March). So I got hired as a seasonal customer service rep (call center, same thing I did last year) today, my training doesnt start until October so I've got a while yet. For some reason they had me signed up for the second shift (any time from 2pm to 2am) which is not what I worked last year. What happened last year was I wasnt scheduled much time at all, maybe one or two (three or four rarely) shifts a week, 6hrs each. I picked up extra time when it was busy etc. So I'm thinking if things are the same this year it shouldn't be a problem. My boss is all uptight that I'm not going to be on demand any more ("We'll call you in the morning and let you know if we want you to come in" isn't gonna work any more) so she's giving me extra hours but I can't imagine it'll last more than a few weeks.
I wasn't worried about it earlier, if I have to quit the seasonal job I will, no big deal. But I've been home for a while and thinking about it and it's starting to stress me out. I'm worried about working a night shift, I'm usually in bed and turning out the lights by 11 and the training is from 5pm-11pm and it takes an hour to drive home. I keep telling myself to just relax until I get my training and they give me a schedule, I really need the money. But argh! I'm a worrier and I'm just stressed that I won't be able to juggle everything, I hate being constantly busy. I don't know what I expect anyone to say, I guess I'm asking what would you do?
