GraveYard Shift BS

i got 6.5 hours of sleep today, feeling great for my last night shift...so what kind of "plant" are you wanting to operate? i work in a power plant right now as an equipment operator, next step up is unit operator.

 

I got 6.5 hours as well, and then worked out before heading into work. I am trying to get on at the Exxon Chemical Plant or the Exxon Refinery. I am on the refinery side now working for a contractor.

 

What's up ya'll, Im on tonight until 0400...Then a 4 day weekend.

 

4 day weekend? I think I'd go crazy with that many days off! Or broke...

 

Sweet deal. I usually work out before going to bed in the morning on nites so i dont have to wake up to the thought of having to work out.

Wish i got off at 4am lol

Oh yeah, i have a built in 7 straight days off each month. Makes it easy to schedule vacations without using vacation hours. Also makes it easy to spend money like crazy lol

 

I did that a few times, but I am much more tired after the 13 hr shift and 45 minute drive than when I wake up. Only problem is when I don't wake up early enough.

That would be cool to have 7 straight days off. Guess I need to keep working my way up the ladder. Well, get on the right ladder first, then start climbing.

 

yeah i know what you mean, i used to have to drive an hour and ten minutes one way when i first started out. did that for about a year and a half and finally got transferred to a plant about 15 minutes from home

 

Well I work 12's so I get plenty of $$$

 

Same here. But ive come to find that the more you make the more you spend lol

 

Yeah, when I was teaching I lived 5 miles from the school. I hated that and now I commute an hour and a half daily. The drive is definitely worth it! If I get on the plan here, I will probably relocate halfway in between my hometown and work just outside Baton Rouge.

I'm working 5/13s, but nearing the end of the job.

Agreed!

 

Wow! 5-13s is rough, lotta hours on a check though.

 

Yeah, the OT is nice.

We just rained out boys.

Gonna try to milk it as long as I can though....

 

Dang that sucks. Hope you get in the full night still

 

HAHA I know what you mean...I just dropped $2300 on a 5.0 mustang on Easter.

 

Highly doubtful. Hoping to get another hour and a half.

 

Since you all are up, can i get someone to go to the store for me. I would but it's cold outside

 

Hey Bullzi did you ever get a fishing pole holder made up for your Truck?

 

Nope, I didn't have time to mess with it before my camping trip. Give me a minute and I'll post the picture of the drawing I had come up with for the original.

 

Photobucket is down

I'll have to show you later. Boss said we might hang until 4

 

No worries I can catch it some other time. Glad your working still.
