Downside you can still come in Fridays to finish up those Oh Shit jobs

Working 4/10`s for a year I only had maybe 15 Fridays I never was close to work.

 

It's actually a weird shift but my dogs won't care.

I'll work Thursday through Sunday for 6 months then work Sunday through Wednesday for 6 months.

Downside: weekends are fucked, upside: time during the week to get things done when everyone is open.

 

I'm basically M-F 6a to 6p. Been that way for the past 14 years. For where I work that is a very rare schedule.

 

Sure makes for a long day.... I’m 7-4 but usually stay till 5 to catch up and get a head start for the next day... by Friday I’m a bit worn

 

That's my availability but it's not all work during those hours. Today I left just before 7am for a 10am meeting south of Baltimore. About 5 1/2 hours behind the wheel driving in shitty weather. Was home by 2:30 and spent another hour trying to get IT to allow me to log in to my laptop which I got locked out of right before my presentation at said meeting.

 

Yes the weather can make for a LONG day by itself let alone computer issues! I’m ready for the weekend. Except I’m working 8-2 Saturday... not to bad though. They give you a day off during the week. Off on Thursday so hoping it’s sunshine and 80!! ;-)

 

I was so wiped out from the drive I pulled over on the way home for a 15min snooze.

 

Oddly enough for the years I spent in that local, with friends who worked for him, we’ve never met but talk frequently on Twitter.

One of these days I’ll get some honey.

 

It sure sounds like it is raining harder now then most of the Day Yesterday!

 

Been doing 4/10's for a couple years now which has been nice since I work 3rd. Started off Wed-Sat, but moved to Sun-Wed which left me have the best part of the weekend off. Although first part of the year I'm going to 2nd shift Wed-Sat. Not the best situation, but I had to come off nights. I can atleast go to sleep while it's still "night." I have no social life at all anymore so it really isn't that big of a deal. Only have one friend, but I like to keep it that way...

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!! Snowing here in northeast PA this morning - ground is covered but it's not sticking on the driveway. We really needed the rain - our large pond still below the drain point. Something I've never seen in my lifetime. Stay safe!!

 

Well I almost got into an accident this morning. Why nobody use their mirrors anymore. Too many idiots out on the road.

 

Good morning and a Happy Friday to everybody!

 

That sounds good.

 

My social life at this point is my dog. I chat with a couple of friends via messenger but the only time I've been around people this year was at AOAA..

 

Hopefully, this is the correct area to post this. I am looking for a referral for a local independent mechanic for routine maintenance on a 2006 Tacoma 4x4 that I have had since new. I live in the Glenmoore/Elverson area of Chester County, Pa. Any referrals will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

 

Thu-Sun is gonna suck. They should split the weekend for you.

I've done 4/10's, 5/8's, and a 12-hour rotation of 3 on/4 off followed by 4 on/3 off. I liked the 12-hour rotation best of all, at least once I got off the overnight 12's and onto the daytime 12's. The 4-day stretch leaves you pretty worn out but the 4 days off make up for it.

These days I work a 4-day week from home (I purposely took a pay cut to work fewer days) which turns into 4/12's as often as not. At least I can do it in my underwear.

 

Yeah it'll suck but it's only 2 days of production in that schedule so it's actually the easier shift.

 

the money they spend on advertising blows my mind

 

Extreme Performance, Drive by it all the time never been though
