    Yeah everyone in the office is pretty much on furlough except for the military personnel. I'm also mission essential so its a double whammy.

    The TW sticker came out perfect. And I should have waited till morning when I had more light, but hindsight is 20/20 :frusty:

    At my job I am 1 of 2 supervisors who work opposite shifts. Came into work the other day and the other guy told me that he still had 150 hrs. of vacation & PTO to burn before July I think I have him talked into taking the majority of it between now and spring break.

    I was like :headbang::taco::taco::yes:SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!

    Then I was like :goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy: what am I going to buy?????????

    The top of todays agenda is to black out all T&T weekends and the 2 trips I'm planning.

    It is a double edged sword. Love the money, and so does Uncle Sam..., But also love weekends. My mentality hasn't fully eased off from previous job and all the hours, weekends and OT, so I don't mind working weekends if needed. For now...

    I totally agree with loving my weekends. When I started this job and was on the road we worked 60 - 70 hours a week with 1 scheduled day off.
    I took a cut in pay to be a supervisor because of the OT but I get days off instead.
    With my normal schedule I have 3 days off and still average 45+ hrs a week so working an extra day or two a week won't kill me.

    Talked to the owner of the company yesterday. He is still in Cleveland, for some family health issues, but I learned that the bolts the company has ordered, to replace the ones that don't work, are coming in MARCH, not coming last weekend, like the shop doofus that I talked to in person, promised. So the guy sent me bolts that he knew wouldn't work. Nice... The owner is shipping me new bolts, so I'm going to keep it after all.
