As some of you have gathered, I'm kinda good at my job. Every weekday I sell a lot of shit. ( Example. )
I never think of myself as having a position to bargain. I don't like to rock the boat. However, I may need to rock. I realize that Maggie needs me to be closer to her schedule as a safety. I also need Maggie. Staying up all evening surfing is dull without her.
I'll have to present it to my new job delicately. "I realize I'm asking for the rarest of rares, but I need to get a significantly earlier schedule. 9 to 5:30."
Many of you cannot imagine begging for this. You've had those hours for years and you have maybe wondered what it'd be like to shuffle them out. Well, I've had second-ish shift for a few years now and lemme tell ya...
...it sucks after a while. I'd scream for a while, but I'd still have a schedule that convinces most of you I'm not around.
My sales skills are only partly related to my pull for a better schedule. They need mid-shift folk. I'm the king of the mid-shift. Shifts go more by seniority than anything else. I have 22 months, which is small potatoes on my team. Some people have had the job so long they were with companies even I'd never heard of (Colonial Cable of Revere!) and thus it's hard to ask for what you may see as normal hours.
I'm scared I'll be told to fuck myself. I'm a salescritter -- I shouldn't be afraid of rejection. I get it all day long and keep asking. "You sure you don't want high-speed internet? This stuff is so shiny." I don't want to lose what I have (Monday through Friday, which is equally hard to get). To get both is almost impossible.
Anyone have ideas?
