2017 here, well worth the 20 minute procedure

 

You ate a giant bag of frozen peas in 2013?

 

You didn't??

Weirdo

 

TGIF. I'm ready for days off. Gotta do some Christmas shopping, talk with the vet about getting the feral cats in to be fixed, and I plan to go see the new Godzilla movie. Hoping nothing else comes up or derails any of this.

 

I haven't been paying attention. We've already had a couple snow storms. Temps are dropping hard after tomorrow, but I didn't check snowfall.

 

I wanna say I was locked up and having LSD experiments done on me by the CIA in 2013. Or maybe it was 2015. Or 1988.

I've been in the house and awake for 2 days. That legitimately freaked me out for a few seconds.

 

Weird

Sounds like a good time, take it easy! I'm going back on nights for 3

 

My bad. It's my Friday, but it's Tuesday. It's real fun on nights because I come in on Tuesday, and it's my Friday, but I don't get off until Wednesday.

 

Sleep well.

 

weren't you there? why do you need to see the movie then?

 

You've never watched home videos or felt nostalgic?

Do not meddle in the affairs of Godzilla, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

 

I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure Ron Jeremy watched every one of his own movies

 

Not sure why I typed weird up there.. but thanks man!

When do you go back on nights?

 

I go nights on the 13th and I won't work another day shift until the 24th of January. Gonna be a zombie.

 

That'll give you 3 weeks off though if you take a hitch off right?

 

It would, but I didn't. I traded my next hitch of days for nights. It lets me cover Christmas for one of the new guys and will net me two extra days, so 24 hours of OT.

 

That'll work, but yeah that's a lot of nights!

 

3 hitches. I don't mind nights aside from not knowing what is going on because handoffs are a struggle at times. New guy is way better now than when he started, so it'll be good. Most telecom companies have holiday network freezes so no major changes are happening outside of my company. That usually cuts down on the outages and issues, so I hope it'll just be a month of youtube and the forum for some sweet dollars.

 

Sweet, I'll ring in the New Year with you on nightshift.

 

Heck yeah!

 

Imagine this, Tyler. You go to work, but there are no coworkers to cause drama or stir shit up. Nobody watching over your shoulder or questioning what you are doing. You just get to do your job, uninterrupted, and it's a relaxed pace because everyone else isn't awake to phuck it all up. Plus guaranteed 4 hours of OT followed by 7 days off. Nights aren't all bad, at least not in this job. I can't speak for anyone else's.

 

Agree, it's pretty chill on nights for me too. I'm glad I'm not strictly nightshift though, that would get old

 

If it were the same amount of OT as day shift I wouldn't mind, but I would fear that I'd be obsoleted out of the job because I'd wind up so out of the loop. I already feel like I'm starting over because I only have 5 days in 28 that I work with other people in my department.
