Yesterday I was optimistic and excited about Steve's new job. He's going to be home most evenings, we get to hang out, make a little more money and eventually (if they decide to hire him into the union) have insurance. However, now I am rethinking the pros and cons.

Steve, if you happen to read this, this is my official plea for you to go back to jets. Sure, you will be home most evenings but you will have to be in bed by 10:00 (we both know you are not the type of person who can function on just a few hours of sleep). You are going to have to work on the weekends. Even if you were to have Friday and Saturday off, it sucks. Friday nights are your baseball games. Saturday you will have to be in bed by 10:00. If you have to work Saturdays, you can count on going to bed right after baseball. Speaking of forgetting things, if you work Fridays, you can forget about drop-in hockey and even your regular hockey season next year for that matter. There will be no bon fires this year, no more Tigers games, no going anywhere. We will be strapped to the house because we have to work on each others days off. Its not like Jets where you can just have them schedule you off if you need the day off. Maybe this is selfish but I'm gonna miss you too. I HATE not going to bed together. I can adjust to going to bed at 10:00 during the week, but not on the weekends. That brings up another point. During the week, espically if I have to work will 5:30, we will have about 3 maybe 3.5 hours to hang out before I have to start getting in the shower. This time frame includes dinner and doing the dishes. Oh, and I miss you at lunch.

Again about me, I went to bed about an hour after you last night. I crawled in bed and tried not to disturb you, though I probably did. About an hour after that, I fell asleep...without so much as touching you, outside of the few seconds I spent rubbing your back. This morning I woke up to your alarm BLARING at 4:30. I laid there for two hours then fell asleep 30 min before my alarm went off.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this new schedule is going to put a strain on our relationship. That's the last thing I want. Please go back to Jets. The whole point to getting a new job was to find one where we could have weekends off together. I'd rather you work night and have weekends than work days and not have any social life.
