My transfer was accepted! I start working full time for Amazon next month.
It's not the schedule I prefer, but it gives me Sundays off, and it's an early day shift that ends at 5pm. I stay at my current fulfillment center. I have not converted to Blue Badge yet, but I'm eligible to be in the running when the opportunity arises.
My wife is struggling with the change, it will impact our time together (assuming her next role is standard business hours). My hope is to transfer again when a better schedule is available. There's another facility opening soon nearby, so there will be more options soon.
I'm choosing to look at the positives. I get a three day "weekend", with time for appointments, chores, and errands during the week. I get to start my tenure that will make me eligible for benefits. I have to admit the physicality of the role has a positive effect. I'm naturally sedentary and built-in exercise is good for me. I'm close to home. I do enjoy the work; it's simple, solitary and gives me a tiny burst of accomplishment each day.
I have two interviews lined up this week. I'm still searching for my next move. But I'm grateful for this small step in the right direction.
