My Actifit Report Card: January 23 2025

Hey Hivers!

Life is such an adventure don't you think?

Bringing you a pretty basic step-count today. Thankfully over the 5000 step threshold which I'm feeling grateful for.

It's been an unusual past couple weeks for me! With the new job I've recently started the company I work for has been putting all of us new hires thru a whole bunch of training. All of it suits me just fine! I'm really pleased to be learning everything I can about this industry. It's all very new to me and I also find it fascinating, interesting, and really cool to learn about. I'm two weeks into it now. And, to be feeling like I am encouraged to be myself, to do my best and that in a year I will be irreplaceable is a big eye opener!! This is certainly not something I ever thought I'd hear from an organization that employs upwards of 160,000 people globally!! The narrative I'm used to is that you'll be replaced in a heartbeat with the next person in line, and there are plenty folks lining up!! This job and industry keeps being full of pretty cool surprises!

I never thought I'd be a coal miner! Let alone that I'd enjoy it to this degree! I say this as I try to keep myself up late so I can sleep in late tomorrow and do two night shifts. I've never done night work before. I sure hope i enjoy it and it doesn't become the bane of my existence! Haha.

There's a vote going around among workers right now. I wish i had more experience to put my vote to work but maybe you can help me out!

The shift is 4/4.

Currently, two 12hr day shifts, followed by two 12hr night shifts 24 hours after. Then four days off.

The proposal is to switch to four 12hr day shifts, four days off, then four 12hr night shifts, four days off.

I'm sort of leaning towards keeping it as is as I'm really looking forward to sleeping in and as much as I want tomorrow after working a 12hr day shift today. (Which followed two weeks of mostly 9hr intense training days, with the weekend off in-between). I'm a girl who enjoys her share of variety. But, am also thinking of a good 20 year career looking ahead and not so sure what that reality may loom like!

I'd love to know what you're vote would be!

I'm really excited to share (what I think!) Are some pretty cool things about my new workplace!

Thanks for weighing in! Can't wait to hear what your vote is.

And, I'll see you soon!
❤️Jill
