I owe, I owe, so off to work I go......

A week ago this Past Friday, I was informed that the lady that does my job on day shift was bumping me off my job. To me that made no sense because she HATES second shift and she doesn't get along with that supervisor. She has a year more senority, so she bumped. That gave me two options...... Do that same job on day shift (getting up at 4 AM isn't my cup of tea), OR bump the lowest senority person on second shift, and do that job. Well.... I bumped the lowest senority, and before I went on vacation, I bidded on a welder... So, I go on vacation not know what my job is going to be or who I'll be working for. My vacation was a bummer since I was so stressed out about this. I went to work yesterday and one of the supervisors walked up to me and said "Do you want that welder?" I was very happy to get that job. It's 0ne of the easier jobs.... Put two different parts on the machine, push a button, gage the part, make sure it was welded right, and send it down the line. Not much to it.... Oh, and I have time to read on this job. The lady that was showing me the job told me that once I get used to it, I can hold a book with one hand, and work with the other. We'll see. The supervisor is easy to get along with also. He came up to me said "9 hours tonight.... Oh, and welcome. If you're half the worker your dad is, then I'm lucky to have you on the job." He was my dad's supervisor YEARS ago and they got along great.
