Default Who else is at work today???

welp, came in on the morning shift @ 1am this morning..at least I am getting off at 1PM
Double time and a half does help a little

got to get together with a couple if friends but couldn't have anything to drink, but had to leave @ 12am to go in...
which sucked...

LOL it really is funny to watch people get slammed and try and play games..
I never laughed so hard. I may stay sober at every party just to get a good laugh

my thoughts exactly.

If I was working today, I'd probably make $40/hour.

Not bad, but really not worth it, since I live 25 miles away from work!

haha...they normally cut us off at 8 hours but I stuck em for 10 1/4....People don't realize it, but it is a REALLY good job. Make money like the power company guys, but imo it's a lot safer. Usually right at 100k a year, medical is paid for. Just have to work a LOT of hours and in all types of weather.
