GraveYard Shift BS

It sucks; after being on this shift for almost two years I'm ready for a change but the company I work for is draging their feet with my request to transfer to first shift.

They pay so well though that I can't find another job within $5,000 of what I'm making now, before taking my night shift differential into account even. So it's not all bad, but the money isn't worth it to me anymore. I want to wake up and feel rested during the week.

 

I don't blame you. Seems like it would be a bitch to get anything done...ever.

 

Thanks, that has to be tuff as well. Nights are probably a little more laid back than days.

 

I have worked both and you are correct, nights are definitely more laid back than days..usually lol

 

That's because all the self important folks go home and most of your pts should be sleeping.

 

Unless you're ER, of course, then your night could go to shit quick.

 

Well. Looks like I'm on break till further notice.
Have a boogered up lift fixture that I need to pick up some major weight with that just ain't going to.cut it.

 

Well guys duty calls so y'all have a good one and be safe

 

Hospital maintenance. 10:45-7:15. Welcome to the Graveyard!

The last place I worked hardly did any maintenance on the lifts. Hard to believe we didn't have snapped chains and more with those relics (1960's) Be safe!

 

Have a good night

 

Nite.

We have crane and fixture people onsite. They have their own building here.
I've ran into a few issues with the 60 ton overhead and a couple with the jib cranes but once a safety wo is put in, they are on it.
Guy already picked my fixture up for repair.

 

Welcome:

Boiler house operator/Utilities/Environmental Tech...Basically make sure everyone gets their steam, compressed air and water, plus has a place to send their used water.

 

Wow! Ya'll brought this thread to life last night.

Just checking in on my night shift peoples. Back on shift Tuesday night.

Texas T, I'm Civil Service (Air Force) Aircraft Load Planner. 10PM - 7AM Tue-Sat with every other Sat night off for a 3 day break. I retired from 26 yrs active duty Air Force in 2009.
Because I'm in Alaska, most of ya'll are half-way through your shift by the time I get on here.

 

We have been getting some bad weather here in CO, working nights is great cause the roads are clear of the dumbass people who cant drive in the snow. Which makes for more 2WD skinny pedal induced fun.

 

2wd, locked in the ass skinny pedal ftw!!

 

Where's all the night owls?

 

Sleeping

 

I just started my shift an hour ago. Freaking tired though, was a 4 hour sleep day. Insomnia when sleeping in daylight. Even a blackout curtain doesn't seem to help.

 

Been chasin' my tail since I got here All good now
