Have I any hope...?

[bashy]

Hi 25. Thank you for not holding back ;-). But I do appreciate it.

So I was one step ahead of you in a way lol. I have applied for a day shift role with my current company. I will be considered for it but it depends on (i) whether someone leaves on days and (ii) if they can replace me on nights as not many want to work the graveyard shift.
I really want to stay with these guys as they are fantastic to work for and there isn't a lot of jobs out there at present.

Secondly, I contacted my WAW and told her what I had done and said although I didn't need to tell her at all (as we are no longer together) I wanted to inform her so that it wasn't sprung on her if she needed me to come get the little one some morning after my night shift ended.

Anyway, the question which I was expecting came straight away.... "So what's brought this about?" she said.
I told her that I was struggling with being tired all the time, that I was having to turn down meeting friends for dinner/drinks/nights out etc because of my anti-social hours and that I was taking a huge pay cut to do it. However, I said that our D would always be the No 1 priority and nothing would impact in any way me being a part of her life as much as it's always been.
I asked how she was getting along and she proceeded to chat about her work and how she finds it difficult with the little one during the week as she feels guilty having someone babysit her if she needs to go out because she doesn't see her at the weekend. I made sure that I didn't interrupt her and told her she is doing a great job with D. I then ended the conversation as always.

Was the question from my WAW something you would have expected from her from what I've told you?
