GraveYard Shift BS

I am f'in tired of always being tired.
I need 8 morre months on ights to pay off a credit card then I am looking for a day job.
I feel better but still tired

 

You are not alone. I miss day light and am always looking for a job to get me off nights. I want to be able to enjoy a summer and not be tired

 

the thing is I recently turned down 5 jobs. 3 days and 2 nights.
With the son in college the extra cash is tough to pass up.
this jobs pays very very well. I just don't want to take a $25k pay cut right now.
My wife is extremely supportive of me working the crappy hours but she just doesn't understand how lousy I feel.
She is really the best and does so much for me.
If she ever in the truck while I was drive home after day 4 or 5 of 14+ hour night shifts she would sheet her pants.
Plus I am tired of not watching the Avs live.

 

The night shift definitely pays better but I have missed out on a lot in life because of working nights. As soon as you can get off of it, do it!

 

I am currently working (6pm to 6am)
Wed, thur, fri and every other saturday
I am moving to Every other Sat, sun, mon tue schedule.
we will see how that works

 

i was looking forward to my one day off per week but i was asked this morning to come in on sunday. I couldn't pass it up, sunday is double pay. we all stopped off for a couple of libations after work but I got enough gas to make this shift.

 

just finished up my first of 4 nights. my 7 day break follows these nights so of course they gotta be the longest nights of my month!

 

some of the semi conducotr plants in MA run that schedule, no thanks

 

It's 5am.... 2 more hours!!!!!

 

6am 1 hour and 52 minutes for a 14 hours day

 

I like my schedule
Every other sat nite, sun, mon, tues 6pm to 6am

If I ever get days again that will be even better except the 10% cut

 

Yea..... Things we do for shift diff

 

holy moley the 4 nights flew by like a drunk friday night! time for long break fellas!!!!

 

I'm pretty excited to have some time off myself. No work for me next weekend!

 

2 more days till long wknd. YAHOO!!! At least it will be nice weather for the wknd. Then more rain after. So much for global warming. Will be going with the family and doing some quad riding and shooting. Anyone else have some good plans for the long wknd?
And Thanx to our Veterans for the sacrafices they have made for us.

 

One more day, calling in Friday for a 5 day weekend for 11hours of personal time. Wife is going away for the weekend, beer, clams, beer, lobsta, maybe some more beer and pizza

 

3 hours 15 minutes till my 4 days of freedom!

 

I have only had one day off during this job. It looks to be winding down though as there are sporadic lay offs and the scope of work is reducing every day. I am not sure about this weekend, I have headr rumors of working both sunday and monday, alright by me, both are double pay days and would pay for almost two months mortgage in those two days alone. If not and I am indeed off one or both of those two days then perhaps some grilling and some adult beverages, would also make it a point to go out to my old man's grave at the lincoln national cemetary.

At most I would say one more full week of work until I get chopped from this job, then it would be just siting for a couple months until the refineries start going down. Would like to do some camping with the old lady and get"reacquainted" a little bit. Perhaps a national park or something of the like.

 

work till 3 yay!

 

I thought I'd bring this bad boy back. I'm sad that I'm always on here an no one else is... oh well. back to the lonesome mid shift...
