new position at Panera

Last week I talked to my manager about changing departments. so the next day I was trained for the job and on my own for the next 2 days. although very tired and in pain I got through it. I called today to find out what was going on with my job for this week because nothing had been said. I was told I got the spot and they are going to change that departments scheduling for me. as of this week I work Wednesday and Thursday 11:00am- 9:30 pm in my old department then I'm off friday so I can sleep then saturday and Sunday I work 5pm-3:30am then I'm off for 2 days! this will give me better pay and I'm not in the same department that I've been in for 3 years!! I'm really happy about that because my old job was to hard on my body. I still work for the same company but different area. All it took was going in and explaining to my manager that my current area wasn't healthy for me any longer and I wanted a that spot because it would be better for me and the company in the long run. I try not to advance just because I have lupus but it did help because it was ether I get put somewhere else or I would have to be quitting and I don't like to quit. although I work in the cooler that really isn't good for me eather it's the better of the two. so if any one else feels stuck remember "if you don't like it change it".

it's not permanent at this time but eventually will be. it's a start in the right direction and I'm moving forward.
