As you can see by my title that today is Tom's first night working nights in probably 20+ years. Don't get me wrong, he has stayed late at work, or been on trips for work, or ran into work to pick up stuff or change back-up tapes, etc - but....this is an everyday change at least for now. As of Jan 4, the job that he had at OTSCON was "eliminated" and he was re-assigned to 2nd shift stamping supervisor. Now, he has never done stamping or injection molding but is willing to try just to keep a roof over our head. Tom is a quick learner and is always up for a new challenge, but this came completely out of left field and he was not expecting it. So, now Tom's shift is 1-10pm everyday and a lot of Saturday's, and because he is salaried the Saturday's will be for free!!! Isn't he lucky!!
When Tom called tonight to talk to Alayna, she broke down and started sobbing. She wanted to go to were he was and get a hug. I had to explain to her that we couldn't run to see him every night but that he was working on being able to come home for dinner each night since we lived so close to work. It is so hard to explain to a 6 year old who adores her Papa over anyone else in this world.
