Thank goodness it's Friday!

Just got out of a 24 hour shift... I bolted out of there like I broke out of jail! The air smells better, breakfast tastes tastier... Freedom!!

Hopefully you guys are having a good Friday as well!

    Glad you escaped! Enjoy your day, Joey!

    I'm retired and the best part is: when you wake up, you're on the job.

    Yeah man those 24 shifts do seem to last a long time... a doozy really.

    But I think since i've had a few under my belt, I'm getting the hang of it.

    Alot of folks out of the office today, so it's been quiet. Probably put the klipsch x4i earbuds in after lunch and zone out the rest of the afternoon :(

    I work five 8hr days, and sometimes they are too long. I spent 8 years doing manual labor though working five12's a week and two 12hr saturdays a month. I got used to it too, but so glad that chapter of my life is over.

    Very much looking forward to this labor day weekend...I hope you all will enjoy it as much as I am going to.

    My job can go from basic work hours to 24/7. I am starting to inch back to 24/7, which I actually like. That is because I am developing and tweaking my software, and it is becoming better recognized, which should mean more stock. :)

    My current plan is to make as much as I can and then retire in three years, at 70. LOL

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    The classroom requirement for my summer internship ended last week. I will be staying on for a full year as that is the offer that they extended to me; The experience alone is definitely worth it.

    The autumn quarter begins on the 7th of this month so I have just enough time to relax and breathe before classes begin.

    I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for my undergraduate degree and I'm applying to graduate (masters) schools in the near future.

    It's going to be keeping me busy for a few months...lol.

    I submitted 5 proposals this week, opened 4 new projects, ran 3 meetings, dealt with 2 staff issues/conflicts (and a partridge in a pear tree...). As an engineer, it stinks that I can't remember the last time I did any actual engineering.

    TGIF is right!

    Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!

    Good plan bud!

    I assume your 24h work is at home?

    For me when I do these two 24h shifts, I'm cooped up in a place.

    Very much looking forward to this labor day weekend...I hope you all will enjoy it as much as I am going to.

    My work load is as follows:

    Full time: Fifteen 8 hour shifts.
    Part time 1: Two 24 hour shifts.
    Part time 2: One (to two) 10 hour shift.
    That leaves me about 12-13 days off in a month, includes 2 weekends.

    I'm not doing this forever but am wanting to max it while I can. Maybe a couple years like this (or 5).

    My wife's a pharmacist and she used to be full time and it was great because we could almost live on her salary alone. But when Emma came, we had to cut back and make sacrifices. We figured it was better for Emma to always have a parent home. So now she works 4 8h shifts a month (every other weekend). The way we did this was I picked up just a few more.

    It's much better that I pick up an extra 24h shift or an extra shift as it offloads on my wife, each regular shift I do is about 4 of hers. Each 24h shift is about 11-12 of her shifts.

    So it makes sense for me to be the breadwinner.

    Yes. Physically at work for some time during the day, and then home. High speed internet access is crucial. Most times it is a little keyboard time, but sometimes it gets hectic.
