Ahhh, the perks of having a father who is a retired electrician with nothing but time and a desire to keep busy now that golf season is done.
Not only is he driving 3 hours to our place to drop us off the couch they want to replace, saving us a good chunk of change, he’s also agreed to install a few dimmer switches for us, saving me the effort.
In worse news, my fiancées work has changed up her schedule from 12 hour 4 on, 5 off rotation to 6 on, 1 off, 4 on, 3 off 8 hour shifts. She is not happy and likely wouldn’t have taken this job if she knew her schedule was going to be that. The good news is that she went to her union rep and they basically said “wait, that’s illegal”. Hopefully it’s a positive outcome for her, since our plans for the next 2-3 months in terms of holidays and vacations were based around the 4 on, 5 off schedule. Most notably, our plans for Christmas have gone to shit. But, such is life when you’re a nurse, I suppose.
