    Exactly!! I read her rough draft and I was like, "You're in college?!....oh no no no, I must fix it for you". She'd write a paragraph and I'd rewrite it. Lol!!

    That's for damn sure. Some cat brought R.I.P.D. in tonight...I just wasted an hour and a half of my life watching it. Holy shit was it bad.

    I like my co workers and supervisors and the work flow. I did it for 13 months and never got into a good sleep habit. Tried different sleep aids as well. Plus dealing with court time screws me up too. We would work an 8 hour shift, get off at 6 am, be due in court at 9 am, sit in court for a few hours then go home and sleep for a few hours, then go back in for another 8 hours. The guys that have done it for years either dont have families or have 100% support from spouses, my wife has been bitching about the hours since day one and has not done much to help .

    Right that would suck. I only sleep around 5 hours a day but it's gotta be all at the same time. Sounds like ur sleep is split up.

    Good news I guess on the O2 Matt.

    So what's that Rob tonight +5 more days?

    I'm on the rest of tonight and 2 more then off 4! Board as hell again, not one thing to do and TW is slowing grinding to a stop...I've even went through a lot of the pics on the user gallary (how board is that).

    How many miles on your truck? I'm thinking I'll be replacing my O2 sensors soon...haven't made up my mind on whether to wait for an indication, or just change them out preemptively. I'm at 94K. Just curious, thanks.

    I was off holiday last night. Two nights (tonight/tomorrow night) then off 2, on 4, off 3.

    Regular nights off every Sun/Mon ... and every other Sat. Eight 9 hr shifts and one 8 hr shift every two week pay period. It's not a bad schedule...wish we could go to four 10 hr shift / 3 days off rotation. That would be the only thing better for me right now.

    Thanks. :cool:

    EDIT: And probably bad gas... :notsure: but 75K seems early for the O2 sensor to go bad. IMHO
