60+ year old thread.

Is there anyway to make the work week shorter and add two more weekend days ??? Just thinking out loud..

 

3 on - 4 off, I vote absolutely

 

I second the motion!!!

 

Easy! Go on pension, everyday is a Saturday.

 

The way this winter has been, not sure how warm it will be in FLA. Got to be sunnier!

 

Morning Folks ... I am totally tired of the cold and winter. Do you have an empty room I can rent Rob. Seems Alaska has been rather balmy this winter. Have a good TGIF all .

 

Morning Ken.
We do have a guest room; ya'll are welcome anytime.

 

Below freezing here. High maybe 42. 82 on Tuesday. below freezing Thursday.

 

More cold in the forecast, yay. At least there does appear to be an end in sight; during the daytime around here, things are actually melting a little bit.

I worked a rotation for a while that gave me 3 on - 4 off, followed by 4 on - 3 off. 12-hour days, or should I say nights, because I was on 8pm to 8am. The days on were long, but those 4 in a row off -- oh my that was nice. Later on I switched to the daytime side, which was even nicer.

 

I'd be estatic with 4 on 3 off; the civilians here worked that when I first got up here on active duty. We do a 5 on 2 off 4 on 3 off now, which isn't bad. When I ran/worked op centers, I schedule 3 on 2 off 2 on 3 off 12 hr shifts whenever possible. Folks seemed to like that schedule best as every other weekend was Fri-Sat off.

 

Ken: Times sure have changed, some better some worse.

Sue: I run the Destination A/Ts in the winter and love them. Not squirrely in the snow at all.

R-E-T-I-R-E-M-E-N-T.

Feeling a little better. Last night was the best night sleep in two weeks. My discs in the back are drying up. Some phases of growing older suck.

 

I should have mentioned that my 4-3-3-4 rotation included one weekend day. Two pairs of teams, day and night. One pair worked a Saturday and the other worked a Sunday.

I hear you. I took a flyer on my driveway two days ago, landing flat on my back with my left leg folded under me to a degree it has not seen in a long, long time. My first thought as I lay there was, what's broken? Fortunately for me, nothing but my pride. But the day is coming when I won't be so lucky.

 

Sorry about the back issues Tom. Glad you're feeling a little better.

What's the current status on the kitchen?

 

supposed to be 80* around Orlando this week

evening Ken

Not quite as warm, but better than the 40* we had the last 10 days or so

Never got to work that schedule, but it sounded great.

when I was in Alaska, MOC folks complained about the 12 hour shifts so they went to 8 hrs 5 days a week Stoopid people

Thanks Tom...

It's better than the alternative Hope the back feels better

Sorry 'bout the accident. Be careful out there. Broke my tail bone slipping on the ice, 3 days before my son was born. OUCH!!!

x2

 

I can't fully imagine childbirth, but childbirth with a broken tail bone? *shiver ... that has to be a whole other level of pain. No thank you

 

Im Almost 70 been lurking on the place for a few weeks. Must be 100 pages of the weather & what hurts. yawn. glad Im not that old !
I had to trade in a new f150 for a 2010 tacoma. Best move I ever made.

 

Tail bone pain was the lesser of the evils for several hours
