I hope they do. My schedule is Monday, Friday and Saturday so I'm guessing that Friday will be almost like starting over again. They also have us scheduled for an orientation in the afternoon, so it won't be a full day of training until Saturday. People dress up very nice there. They told us that we can wear jeans on Saturday. I have three drawers filled with jeans since that's what we wore at my last job. I'm glad I'll have that choice. The location of the place is situated around a large network of expressways. I realized I was going way out of my way to get there but couldn't figure out have to get around the expressways. One of my coworkers told me a short cut. I tried it yesterday and it cuts off about 2 miles from my drive. This job is a lot closer for me and with one less day, I'll have about 75 miles a week less to drive.

Now, only if they'll listen to me.... :-)

Thanks, Devil Dawg....I'm glad, too. I have a lot to learn, The person who is training us said there's so much, they have procedures online because there's so much to remember.

You're extremely smart, you'll be just fine. You're just being hard on yourself right now and I do understand that.....I wanted to learn everything yesterday too !!!

I've never seen them act like that. They didn't even eat their pellets. They usually eat every bite.

Probably because they were so upset... I am sure that they will adjust, but they are so use to you being there with them...

Thanks, Peggy. The guinea pigs always give me a warm welcome when I get home. :-)

I hope they adjust. I feel sorry for them. I think they've trained me too well. I should only feed them twice a day, anyway......

I've spoiled them rotten..... and they know it.... :-)

no doubt..
I am happy you like your job and they will get used to your new schedule.. just be prepared for some antics..lol

omg......No one would probably take care of them..... :-(

I actually expected them to sleep. When we go for an overnight trip, we load up the cages with food and when we get back, the food is gone and they are asleep. We have them on Carefresh while we're gone. I think the difference is that I had them on fleece and no one shook it out while I was at work. Keep in mind when I was working second shift, no one was shaking it out in the evening until I got home and did it. I think they're ticked off because I changed their routine.

Pets have their own "language" of communicating with us, don't they? :-)

I can just imagine that. We can't even have food or drinks in the office..... I'd have to hide them under my desk.... ha ha

My husband said Curly Fry, in particular, looked really ticked off. She sort of sneered at him. I'm going to try and give them a lot of veggies when I leave in the morning. Hopefully, that will fill them up and they'll sleep all day and start "working" afternoons when I get home. :-)

They should soon adjust. My cats are so used to the routine that anytime a change comes they wonder whats up. Our furfriends are very smart, they know when its time to eat, and when they want attention. I hope the veggie-fill up works! :)

Thanks, Cathy, I am so grateful to have found a job.... it's the exact number of hours I was working, and even though the pay is less, it's closer to my home and one less day. I think I'll really like it once I get used to it. It's huge. I feel like I'm in a convention center. I woke up really early today and my herd was waiting. I think I'm already changing my second shift "time clock" to mornings.... My husband said the guinea pigs were all asleep when he got home for lunch. It was later in the afternoon that the troops must have gotten restless. :-) I hope your transition back to work has been working out well for you. It sounds like the residents really love you, so I'm sure that makes it a pleasure to go to work.
