GraveYard Shift BS

Hi Kevin.

I think most companies (or a lot) pay shift differential. For the gov't (civil service) I get 10% night diff pay for the hrs from 10PM to 6AM, and an additional 25% for the Sunday hours (9 hrs every other Saturday night/Sunday morning).

 

'Nite y'all

Good to know. The last ad I saw was a temp night shift. Idk if it was temp then move to another shift or just temp work.

 

I work 6p to 6a and get a 25% night differential after 13 years I hope to not work a day shift again for a very long time. I also hate alarm clocks so night shifts are much better for me.

 

Dayum! 25%??

I get nothing extra.

 

Nothing? That sucks.

That's one of the reasons I stay on nights. I swore off the reindeer games of dayshift and management positions when I retired from active duty. My supervisor works days, has 10 times the headaches to deal with as I do, and when you add the shift differential to my pay rate, he only makes $53 dollars more a pay period. But night shifts aren't for everyone. Our kids are grown and my wife and I have managed to keep the same days off, so it works for us. Plus I'm drawing my military retirement which gives me some flexibility with regards to how much pay is acceptable to our lifestyle.

 

Morning Rob, great to hear you will be joining us again and that the new job is treating you goodand have to agree health care pays the bills.

 

Morning Rob great news about the hunt and have a good day with the grand!

 

Hi Melissa and thanks.

 

Back at it again! Who else?

 

Well, I'm here but naturally not working.

 

Probably the only guy I know that "wished" he was working.

 

You got that right! Nov 5th can't come soon enough.

 

ugh. Tried to lay down, rls set in. Have therapy in the afternoon, gonna be a long monday.
How is everyone else doing?

 

Boring night at work.....when the machine is running well, it's a long night.

Not sure where everyone else is?

 

Nights this week as well. Running the plant solo can be boring, but it is nice no one is around to bother me. By the way, found a used set of Ivan Stewarts on CL for $300, but unfortunately am too poor now because I may be investing in two quads soon.

 

Sorry Rich ... Hang in there brother.

juat checking in Chris, back to work Tuesday night for me.

Quads are fun

 

Mornin' all. It's going to be a long night.

Some pictures from the weekend though.


We took my Uncle's new to him Frontier. I think the Taco handles better in the turns and I dislike their bed rail system.
















It was a bit dusty.


Took some video with the new helmet camera but it's being difficult and requiring a bit of preprocessing so here's some screenshots instead of video.
