Thats pretty much my feelings on the recent revelation by my boss that I will be moving from night shift to days on Tuesday. Normally this wouldn't bother me that much except that I now have to come in on Sunday evening to work, then take off Monday (which I was originally going to be working) and on Tuesday make the switch to daylight. That effectively gives me 1 day to completely turn my sleeping schedule around and I am not happy at all about this.
It also brings up a nasty prospect that I haven't had to really address for several months now: the likely hood that I will be let go soon since I am after all a temporary worker. The person I was basically filling in for is going back to her old crew now that the other employee who was out on sick leave for several months from surgery is returning. This essentially means that everyone is back at their former posts and I am being shifted to daylight for the time being, however I suspect greatly that I will soon be given a definite deadline for my final day.
Given that I was told less than a half week in advance about being moved to daylight and even then only given a single day to completely reverse my sleep pattern it seems completely likely that I will be given a very short notice as to my exact end date, at which time I will likely walk out; I am fucking sick and tired of having employers jerk me around. The last place dismissed me with absolutely no explanation or even common courtesy, and numerous places have made off-hand comments about hiring me on which never materialize, so it really shouldn't surprise me to get the shaft from a company again.
Upon looking back on the past few years of 'work' I don't think I've held a single job I really enjoyed or that was even a true job; I've interned, been a work-study through school, and now a temp through a staffing agency but the only actual job I've ever held that counted for shit was doing soups, sandwiches and desert in a restaurant. Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised to be shit on by employers, its only natural to keep some people at the bottom of the pecking order so as to prop up the rest of the organization.
