mnemenoi Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I work 12 hr+ days for 14 days and am off for 14, so guess its a trade off. Working on a platform in the gulf can get long..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I've worked graveyard on a couple different jobs. What sucks is to do shopping, you have to miss sleep. It's lonely because you sleep when everyone else is up. Days off NEVER feel like days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibikaie Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I used to not mind Saturdays/Sundays - they're just like every other day of the week. I don't hang out in real life so who cares which day I work? Except now, working on Saturday means that I am working a twelve-hour day on Friday and Saturday, coming hot on the heels of my regular work week up to that point. If I also need to work Sunday, that's another eight to nine hours, with "normal" schedule resuming on Monday. No day off until the following Sunday, because although I'm scheduled off on Fridays, I need to go to work to take care of inventory and ordering, which will be behind because I didn't get to do it the week before. My manager doesn't understand why this schedule doesn't work for me. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy12484 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Oh I just love what the owner of our company says... "we work to live... not live to work" lol thats why im here all weekend and your playing golf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah, only the boss and the manager routinely get vacations. I asked last year, was told I couldn't because no one was available to cover for me. Then we had eight straight months of people quitting and us being short-handed. That took us up until right now - we've finally gotten over some of the personnel issues, and now people are going on vacation again. Got an offer for one person to cover for me for a few days as he's looking for more hours, though. I'm probably going to take him up on that just to get some sleep.
