GraveYard Shift BS

Same here! No calls for a good 4 hours now. No alarms for about 3 hours. Easy money tonight I suppose. Thank God for TW!

(I hope I didnt just jinx myself...)

 

Took me forever to put my wife thru college....she graduated in 2011 & the first thing I did was buy me a new truck. She was pissed.

 

Probably did! All Hell will break loose now.

 

She was pissed? Sounds like a good decision to me!

 

Been on night shift for about 2 months now and I must say, I am not enjoying it quite as much as I have heard about. Working nights here on the AF base really suck. Forget about going to get something good to eat for lunch.

 

Women! 4am....time for some more coffee!

 

I'll be up your way on Saturday . Going to all wheels offroad park in Lewiston, ME

 

But the trade off is worth it to me.....no bosses to deal with. No engineers wanting to try some crazy ass experiments with the machines. And no maintenance staff to accidentally push a button & take the plant down.

 

What do you work on ?

 

Nice! I cant say I have been there but I have heard many good things about it. I will have to check it out one of these days. I am sure it will be a blast!

 

We make fiberglass sheeting ......it is the initial foundation for making roofing shingles....just add some tar & rocks on top.

 

Ya it's a good time . I get up there once a year .

Not a fan of fiberglass .

 

2 MORE HOURS!

 

Save money that way!!!

My mother was born and rasied in lewiston! iv ebeen there a few times in my day, portlamd, saco, my unlce is a police chief up north somewhere

You've been warned about the maintenance jokes!!!! but i do love night shift, nobody is here, engineers and the big wigs are gone, i leave before they come!

almost 2 for me!!!!

 

Another thing i love about night shift is my truck doesnt get beat down by the sun all day. sits outside at night, in garage all day!!!

 

I really dont mind the night shift that much. Things are usually pretty quiet, the shift differential in pay and not having big wigs around is nice.

But I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE working weekends!

 

yes i do agree on the weekends, we do 3 on 3 off

 

That's not bad. I am here every damn weekend. The only way I am getting a Friday or Saturday night off is if I put in for it weeks in advance or I am "not feeling well"

It sucks, my wife, family and friends all have Monday - Friday jobs. I miss everything fun. I am on the lookout or a new job.

But what can we do? The pay is ok and we all need jobs!

 

jobs hard to come by up there?

 

Yeah, the rough econmomy has been really rough up in my neck of the woods.

There are jobs out there but but they either pay WAY less or they are nights/weekends anyways. So I am looking, but staying put really isnt that bad.

I guess I really cant complain. (But sometimes I still do)
