Free half day off!!

Post by PurpleMustReign »

We lost power today at work, and they couldn't get it back on. So we got to go home!!! YAY!!

Good thing it wasn't cold out or something. It is actually quite nice out!!

lucky bum

the power went off at work once and were playing with the radios mocking the supervisors
(he kept asking them when he could get back to work :lol: )
trying to figure out a solution to the issue. Our boss came by and heard us laughing hysterically
and joking\ a few hours later one of them agreeded to take the heat with the big bosses and they
sent us home.

We found out that the wind blew a power pole over. They didn't restore full power until after 11 pm!!

That IS pretty damn good! How long are your workdays though and what days?

I work 7 hour days, 5 days a week and have nights, weekends and all holidays off! Still probably not as good as yours but its gotta be close!!!

I work three 12 hour shifts and get paid for 40 hours

saturday sunday and Monday nights 5pm-5am I actually really like the shift(not that I wouldn't want it on tue,Wes,and Thursday.
I still watch the Vikings games they come on at 10am. I tivo and get up at 11am and fast forward through commericals and such.

four days off a week is sweet ... I would work 2X 20 hour shifts if they let me

tue/Friday swing shift
thats the schedule i had before but i had to go to weekends to get in the best department
in the building.

Honestly I am just glad I have a good job right now. The local In and Out got 4000 applications
some were college graduates and the only interviewed the top 300 people and hired 40 usually
half of those people don't last six months.
