It’s personal but involves collecting
so today i was called into the office and i had a feeling something bad was about to happen. As most of my fellow collectors know i work 2 weeks and then 1 week off but i burn a day driving to work 8.5 hours one way and another day driving home 8.5 hours to go home. I work an average 100 hours a week with time and a half overtime and i know this job is demanding and it keeps all of you driving on the road buying baseball cards eating and putting clothes on your back.
But today i was asked if i would be willing to go 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. After talking to my wife doing finances (because i lose a big check every 3 weeks so i will only be getting a 1 week check ). She said if this is what they want to and if they are willing to give it a trial bases on if my wife and i dont like it we go back to the 2 and 1 schedule. They agreed.
By doing this i am able to save someone from being laid off but i will be the first one they ask if they need someone back on the 2 and 1 schedule
so i go home Monday instead of next Monday for a week then back to work for 2 weeks. In some cases inspite of losing a big paycheck it could be 18 days on and 10 days off. So the normal response will be when offers cone to me that i will start giving a date when i am home instead of days for in some cases it will change to a later date.
so to my traders who sent me offers expecting 10 days from now to get to the trade offer be known i will be getting to your offers Tuesday next week
