Vaccine success and vertical drinking

It's been a month or so since my last post and that's largely because the work at EICC has been mostly slow and unremarkable. Most shifts are quiet to start with and pick up a bit as the day progresses. This makes sense when many of our clients are drop-ins rather than appointments. Few people think of dropping in between 8 and 9am unsurprisingly. My shift patterns at EICC are the oddest thing to report. Not sure if a human or an algorithm sets the staff rosters but it is far less varied than the shift pattern at QMU. For the whole of July I have only worked 07:30 to 15:30 shifts and only later in the week (Thu, Fri, Sat or Sun), despite availability throughout the week. However next month's shifts appeared recently and they were even odder. Again only shifts in the second half of the week and now only four hour stints! So 15:30 to 19:30 Thu, Fri, Sat Sun, then the same days the following week but 11:30 to 15:30. I'm quite sure I do not want to be working 4 days ...
