GraveYard Shift BS

im off this year but pretty much all the holidays are landing on my shift next year so i put in pto for pretty much every holiday lol. My first son will be born in February and my wife would kill me if i wasnt there for all his first holidays lol.

 

NYE is on my off day for the first time in a few years, and is one of two "holidays" the better half cares if I get off for, the other is Halloween. Coincidentally, both for drinking/partying reasons

 

I'm here for the next 10. No biggy.

 

I'm on hour 6 of 16, gonna be another long one!

 

I volunteered..money is too good

 

Yes it is. Sometimes trading my youth for money doesn't seem like a great deal in the long run. Waddayagonnadu? It is life.

 

Got to spend some quality times with gram.
At almost 94....she can still put a hurtin on the puzzles. It keeps her mind goin. Shes sharp as a tack

Last Christmas she said.."no more 1000 piece puzzles. So this year I got her a 750.

 

She told me I couldnt leave b4 it was done. Lol.
But I had to get back to work. She'll prob have it finished today.

 

Outstanding! gotta take care of the GP's.

 

Hi Rich.

Ya'll look great. Good to read Gram's still going strong.

 

Still doing well MQQSE.

 

Hi Rob!

 

Hey Steve

Are you back to work already?

 

Having a hard time typing. Laughing so hard at Tractormans signature.

Howdy, ladies(if any are monitoring the thread) and gentlemen.

 

Yup! That 15 days flew by!

 

I figured you would be off until Tuesday

 

Hi Kirk.

No kidding it did. That's exactly what I was thinking; didn't seem like it was that much prior to Christmas when it started. Older I get, quicker time goes it seems.

I am. After driving home in snow and partial whiteout I was tired enough I slept 'til 2PM. Then stayed up 'til 10PM ... layed down to sleep, ... back wide awake at 12:30 AM. It's getting more difficult for me to sleep through the midnight to morning hours on my days off.

But I still want no part of the dayshift games where I work.

 

Howdy Rob. Is the weather about normal up your way?

 

In short, it feels like we're heading back to normal, but it'll spread out over a couple years.

Still a little light on snow, or so it seems to me. When I clear the drive later today, it'll only be the third time I've used the snowblower this Winter. Probably shovelled a light amount off 3 or 4 times so far. We've had one subzero cold snap. Otherwise temps have been relatively "normal" by my recollection. It seems we still have this polar vortex thing happening from the way ya'll and the northeast have gotten slammed a bit.

 

if that makes any sense at all ... Mother Nature is still a fickle bitch who befuddles the crap outta me.
