So I am officially on maternity leave now. Just waiting for my record of employment to come in so I can actually apply for my mat leave paycheck. Last week was my last week at work at being so, as well as having a huge list of things to do to prepare for baby, all enthusiasm for work went out the door.

Weekly Work Recap (Oct. 31 - Nov. 6)
This week was okay, I was scheduled 6 shifts and picked up a shift on the day I was off. I was excited when my manager told me last week he scheduled for for 6 days, until he added 'they're not long shifts though since your maternity leave depends on what you work before you leave'. How does this make sense? Giving me crappy short shifts benefits me in no way, especially stretching them out over 6 days instead of 5, that's a day I could have just enjoyed at home. Oh well, I made the most of it.

Wow, that's very dissapointing to add up 7 straight days of work and only have worked 31 hours. That's only one hour more than the bare minimum I have to work in a week. I'm really getting a lot of crappy shifts where I can barely get 3 hours in. It almost makes me wonder if I'd be better off going on maternity leave early.

Weekly Work Recap
I always keep track of my hours in a day planner, both to give me an idea of whether or not I'm working enough each pay period and to verify that my hours were entered correctly on my paychecks. I figure if I'm posting updates of my budget I may as well post updates about my work hours. Since I work in a kitchen I'm only scheduled a start time, no end time. (Dinner rushes can be unpredictable and you're done whenever all of your duties are done)
In the kitchen there are several types of shifts, each one varies in average hours and each one has different duties. Since I generally just work nights, there are 3 shifts I can be scheduled for: a regular dinner shift, the late, or the close. On a regular dinner shift you come in, work the rush, clean your section and do your side duties. These shifts don't last very long. The late works the rush and has the same regular duties, but they are also responsible for the late duties. They also stay later (duh) to help the close with any orders that might come in. The close is the only shift that really has a scheduled end time, which is whatever time we close that night.
Despite the fact that hours are not guaranteed, it's easy to pick up shifts, or add the late or close to a regular dinner shift you are already working. My goal is to pick up as many shifts/hours as possible before I go on maternity leave.
I need to work about 54 hours/paycheck (27 hours/week) to make the income I've entered for myself in our budget. However with taxes being different on every paycheck I consider a 60 hour paycheck (30 hours/week) to be my minimum goal.
Here's a look at this past week:
Monday
Scheduled: 5:00 Late
Worked: 5:00 - 9:50 4.83 hours
Tuesday
Scheduled: Day Off
I had the opportunity to pick up a 5:00 Late but had already made plans with my mom for dinner, as much as I would have liked to pick up this shift, I had a much better time seeing my mom :)
Wednesday
Scheduled: 5:30 Dinner
Worked: 5:30 - 10:10 4.66 hoursPicked up the Late.
Thursday
Scheduled: 5:30 Dinner
Worked: 5:20 - 9:10 3.83 hours
Friday
Scheduled: 5:00 Late
Worked: 5:00 - 11:10 6.17 hours
Saturday
Scheduled: Day Off
Not picking up shifts today as it is our Halloween party :)
Sunday
Scheduled: 5:00 Late
Worked: 5:00 - 9:50 5.83 hours
Approx. Hours Scheduled: 20.5
Total Hours Worked: 25.32
Not a good week at all! Luckily I'm scheduled 6 days this week and already picked up a shift for the day I was off. Hopefully I can make these shifts worth it.
