After the staff meeting at work this morning, I told my manager that I have decided to end my scheduled shift in January, with the first week of the month being my last regularly scheduled week.

I am not quitting the agency. I will probably train at a couple other houses and might apply for another shift if I find one that better fits my life and my schedule. I will be in the relief pool, which means I am a backup and different houses may call me if they need a shift covered.

Come second week of January, I will have greater availability for doing basketball games on any and all evenings and weekends. During January-March, officiating games should be my primary source of income. This also frees up my schedule for more social involvement in different areas, the ability to see my family more, and the freedom to be more involved with my church.
