AC compressor issue

I'm having an ongoing issue with my AC. When it's working, it blows cold from all vents. However, the compressor doesn't always come on when the A/C button is pressed. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't really found a pattern to it. One time, it kicked on when I revved the engine briefly while in park. I also notice that if I accelerate briskly as if I'm passing someone the compressor kicks off ( I think it's supposed to in order to give all available power to pass) but won't come back on.

I just put 12 oz of R134a in @ 2weeks ago as I was getting higher temps out of the driver side vents than the passenger vents. I was informed (on this board) this can be due to low refrigerant levels and it looks like that was the case as, like I said above, my temps are consistent from all vents, now. But my inconsistent compressor engagement is puzzling. Any ideas?

Thanks.
