GraveYard Shift BS

Doing good here Rob, not to bad here tonight ..steady but nothing major going on which is always a good thing around here. what is this 4 day weekend you speak of?????????

 

Nice! I don't get Monday off, oh well.

 

don't feel bad MM I don't either, just sat and sun night.

 

Hi Melissa.

Your tax dollars at work again. Federal Holiday (Columbus Day Monday) lined up with my 3 day break again. It's been a good year for that this year, I think every holiday Monday has synched with my 3 day break this year.

 

Huh, what 4 day weekend coming up, hmm i work till sunday then off 5 days....gotta check into that....
Oh yeah i have a party to go to on wednesday in Dallas, huge company event. The Wright Ammendment expires and we can fly unrestricted all over the country from Dallas...It's a big deal for SWA.

Great news Rich. I'm glad to hear it!

Whatcha working on? I'm turing an MD11 and two MD10s (2 man DC10s) tonight.

Morning lady.

Hey Rob.

Oh ya and I AM off Monday!

 

lol my profession knows no holidays, and us third shifters are the skeleton crew so I get to work it seems all the time, just found out tonight the schedule for thanksgiving is out and guess who will be working

 

Good Morning Joe

 

Poor kid ... but I do know where you're coming from. In my 26 yrs active duty (Command Post/24 hr op centers), I'm certain I worked more holidays than I had off. I lost count of the number of Thanksgivings and Christmases I spent working ... Airfield Base Ops, Tower, Fire Dept, Security Forces (cops) and us.

As a civilian now, we're paid hourly ... costs them too much to have us work the holidays, so the active duty guys get stuck with it. I think I've worked 3 holidays in the 5 years I've been civil service.

 

I guess I shouldn't complain, I knew when I signed up per say for my career choice what it would entail, guess I am kind of lucky I work third and not first shift at least I get to be home for most of the holiday

 

My SIL and her husband, BIL and his wife, are all nurses...I know what you're talking about there too. Third shift does have that holiday advantage, but I always hated eating all that good food, then having to get ready and go to work versus slipping into the food induced coma.

 

so true Rob lol and missing black Friday shopping

 

Speaking of shopping, I just ordered my hood struts from Redline finally

 

I was still procrastinating on that (2 yrs ) Rob (robssol) getting his finally convinced me ... don't know why I put it off, it's only $100 and some change.

 

I know Rich mentioned them to me a while back and I have just been putting it off, glad I did now with the buy going on 99.76 shipping included

 

ok guys duty calls, I hope everyone has a great morning and enjoys the weekend! until we meet again

 

Thanks Melissa. Take care, see ya next week.
