Yes, it's me again... juz when i've sorta gotten used to the afternoon shifts here.. tomorrow working the 545am shift again... it's hard to sleep when u have gotten used to sleeping late coz of working afternoon shifts for the entire week..so i will probably end up being very tired tomorrow... i have a feeling i cant sleep again tonight...
To be honest, i sometimes admire those with the 9 to 5 working hour shift...coz there's like no choice to choose from everyone working the same shift, no need to fight for the shifts... well at least there will be no form of unhappiness when u do not get the requested shifts u requested for...Ever since i started work , i have been quite frustrated with the roster...reason is simple...
firstly, If u requested for too many days, tongues will definitely wag behind your back or even straight to ur face, if u do not request, that's it.. juz slog and dun complain.. u juz have to deal with the consequence of not being able to go to places u wanna go, not being able to meet the people u wanna meet when their schedules dun meet with yours..
Therefore, i switched schedules with colleagues when the schedules i requested was not given.. but then again, some pple will be unhappy again and start to say:" why u like everytime got new roster u will change here change there de.." precisely , i also dun wan to go through all the trouble of changing schedules with pple , or in certain cases beg pple to change with me...changing schedules with people is not fun, first u have to persuade the colleague who u wanna change schedule with, sometimes, some form of pleading and begging is required. after they finally agree, u have to call the other 3 counters to make changes... some colleagues wil think u are such a bother , change this and that, wasting their time to help u change...
I also don't like , but the thing is if i dun change i will not be able to get on with what i wanna do... coz there are like so many request from different colleagues, it's impossible to get all my requests granted... so the remaining requests not granted u juz have to earn it yourself...
I personally think that as long as it doesn't affect the working environment in any way ... it doesnt matter if pple change a not..as long as both parties agreed on it..
pple change precisely it's coz their requests are not granted... otherwise, it is obviously dumb to change for the sake of changing right?
The one who plan the roster will definitely put her/himself in the top priority, it's unavoidable and totally understandable.. so small fry, employees like us juz have to earn back the schedules we wan , by switching amongst ourselves..
how come he/she can have the ideal schedule he/she set for himself....how come we can't? juz coz we are small frys? so he/she really shouldnt complain when we change schedules with our colleagues, so called "messing up" the schedule... when he/she cant grant our requests...we are only trying hard to make our lives happier.. if his/her life is not all about work, then it also applies to ours too...
Sometimes, it's tough when no one wans to change with u.... those who are willing have clashing schedules with ur own previous night shift...for example... u previously requested to work mornings on fridays due to lessons... but the roster planner gave u the opposite means u work night shift, so u wanna change to morning shift on Friday, but u work night shift till 215am on the previous night.(thurday) and no one wans to change with u .. so in the end coz of the result of not having ur request granted, u have to sacrifice sleeping hours.. left with no choice unless u wanna forgo the lesson...
But even if it means sacrificing sleeping hours .. i dun actually mind as long as i get to meet who i wanna meet..
Next week, gotta send in request again... it will surely not be all granted, so when the new roster come out, it's another headache to think of ways to change, and with who to change it with....
sometimes , i rather there's like no choice for us to choose from....
when planning the roster, the roster planner gets a headache. when the roster is finally out, the employees get a headache when request are not granted.........
我正期待着生活可以有一些小惊喜, 能够让我弯起嘴角，露出微笑的惊喜。。。
那该有多好。。。
