The life of two jobs...

As you all know I work at both the Enmax Center and at Pratt and Whitney. One job is great (P&W) and the other job I admit I could do without. I have a regular schedule at P & W but my shifts at the Enmax Center are fairly random and as of late, annoying. They have been fairly good with scheduling me to work only on days that I'm not working at P & W but I think they could do better. They know I go to church but yet they schedule me for a Sunday morning. I only get so many Sunday's off a month at P & W and so I don't want to spend them cleaning 10 bathrooms...This next week I am working the evening shift at P & W which is 2:30pm to 1:00am. Not that big of a deal except that on the first day off after these shifts I have to work at the Enmax at 8:00AM!! Maybe they haven't realized that I get grumpy if I don't get enough sleep...

I'm also having an issue with my shoulder as of late. I think it's work related but the problem is I can't be sure which job started it, therefore, I don't feel right about going on WCB through one job or the other. It has definitely put me in a dilemma. I'm starting to lean towards P & W being the culprit as I do a lot of repetitive things there and so I'm trying to change my work habits there to see if I can either get the pain to stop, or discover that this is the job doing the damage and therefore go on WCB through them.

Wow I didn't think I actually had that much to say about the workings of two jobs but apparently...I wish I could quit the Enmax, but with the economy...it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want to quit one job just to be laid off at the other.

On another note, Drew and I started a bible study with one other married couple yesterday. I think it's going to go great. We aren't using any type of study book to guide us, we are just studying throughout the week and then bringing our thoughts and questions to the group the next time we meet. It's nice having such a small group as this way I feel like I am able to give an opinion, ask a question or share something personal without feeling overwhelmed and nervous by the fact that there are 10-12 people that I'm talking to. I am without a doubt, NOT a public speaker. So I am very excited about this new group. I feel like it's going to be a chance for the 4 of us to grow spiritually, in biblical knowledge and become closer friends all at the same time.
