Life Happens.
1)Today started yesterday morning. 2) It won't be over until tomorrow morning. 3) Surprises can be good. 4) Or not. 5) "When angry, count to ten. When very angry, swear." - Mark Twain.
Some of the operation we work are listed as, "responsible engineer shall be present throughout process". Long day? Tough. All nighter? Tough. Oh, by the way, you still have to cover your usual responsibilities..which can push us into the 36+ hr territory.
Doesn't strike me as a good idea when working with explosives.
Always interesting to say goodbye to the day shift guys...then greet them the next morning...and bid them good day again...
If y'all haven't noticed the dark forces of fascism aren't fucking around. As John Hamm exclaimed so excellently in 'The Town'... "This not-fucking-around thing is about to go both ways!"
Time to gear up America.

That Twain line is great quote.
ReplyDeleteHuh? Pulling back-to-back (to back) twelves? Hell of a thing to get your 36h/wk done in one gigantic shift.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it's something else entirely.
That's how I work. Three 12 hour shifts in a row, sometimes four in a row when I want overtime.
