GraveYard Shift BS

Went with the MX version. I've been wanting it for awhile now and going back and forth to auto store for code reads this last week pushed me over finally.

 

but at least they're separate. I usually won't mix the two at all or else I'll end up with a hangover no matter how little I drink.

Thought it was Guinness and Jamison. looked it up; guess i forgot about the last bit. Still that shit just sounds nasty.

 

In my other news I can feel the distinctive headache and slight scratchy feeling in the throat. A cold is headed my way. When I leave on vacation in 3 days!
No cough or sneezing yet. Hopefully I can Vitamin C, water, and sleep my way out of this in a few days.

 

Zicam! Have actually had good luck with it. Walmart or CVs or Walgreens should have it. I always have some when the sickness starts going around.

 

Thought that stuff treats the symptoms?
i'm trying to beat it before it becomes anything. If I'm lucky I can just sleep it off and it could be allergies that i've never had before.

 

I always just take that and a ton of vitamin C if someone around me (home or work) is sick. works so far. And then I always use a little whiskey

 

Yea I should have done that prior. Was hanging out with a friend Wednesday who was starting to feel sick. Now she has a full blown nasty cold. She even texted me today hoping that she hadn't made me sick haha.

I'll still definitely get some vitamins in. Been drinking lots of water all night which should help.

 

Good luck to ya. I gotta go do some equipment checks real quick. Less than 2 hours .

 

2 hours left!! Fifth 12 this week down, one more to go!!

 

I second that.

 

6 more than back to days on Sunday. S

 

2 hours 45, and 3more shifts until vaca here.

 

40 minutes left, 1 12 down and 3 to go until I get 72 hours off

 

1.5 hrs here.
Just need to finish up machining the aft side of the turbine wheel, do paperwork and i'm out till 11pm sun nite.
No plans today but my truck needs washed desperatly from an outing several weeks back.

 

I want to wash mine so bad, but it keeps raining! would be a waste of my money.

Pretty sure I just drove past the new guy AND my supervisor sleeping in the patrol car. They were parked behind a building where no one would see you unless specifically driving back there for a reason (I was going to open the building early). Neither reacted at all when I passed them or when I turned around. The light was too faint to say if their eyelids were closed for sure but it looked like it. the boss' head was dipped down and no phone glare back. I mean dozing on accident is one thing (like with the new guy), but parking in a spot you don't think anyone will see you is another.

 

If you get caught sleeping here, it's 5 days off and a final written warning.
That means if you get caught a 2nd time, you get a pink slip.
Hell of a way to end a 20 yr career.

 

Seems like he'll be moving up the chain pretty fast ... but damn...


Oh, and 25 minutes til clock out

 

I wish they would do that here. I like the 5 days off part, haha. It's like saying you weren't rested enough to work so take 5 unpaid days to catch up on the z's.

Haha just my thoughts. They both game from the same previous job. I'm starting to smell something fishy.

 

N

Hope I quoted this right.

Exactly!!!
And those 5 days gives you a great chance to think about your bad decision. I think in a year from the date you got caught...the final warning comes off.
So basically....you get 1 chance per year to get caught for napping. Lol.

My boss told me once that I better never get caught sleeping.
My reply was...."you don't have to worry about me, I sleep 10 hrs a day".

 

I've never had one of those

It's sooo good though. Just can't let it curdle. On that note the hangover today is real
