I hate going from Mids to Days, and not going to bed before the first day shift.

2 hours before work.
Can't go to sleep now, won't wake up with the alarms.

Days was always my least favorite shift. Early getup and more bosses to deal with. Stay safe.

They changed our schedule on our mill so we roll forward 2nd turn this week, 3rd next, etc and it's weird because I got used to going backwards but it works out in our favor sometimes, especially since we've been working 6 days a week since October.

I preferred days-afternoons-midnites rather than the other way. A friend who was in college when I started in the mill wrote a paper about the impact of shift work. Researchers said that people who work rotating shifts have lowered life expectancy and weaker immune systems (more illness). I told him working for a living always reduced life expectancy.

I've been out of the mill since 2003 and my body is just starting to work in a normal rhythm the last year or so.

Yeah D>A>M is what we're on. Changing from D>A or M>D is great with only one day off because we're off for 48 hours between but A>M sucks because we get off usually Wednesday at 1130pm and Thursday is our "day off" but it's not much of a day off because we have to be back Thursday night for Friday midnight turn.

So much for an easy Sunday.
Getting clobbered

I'm getting to old for shifts.

When I was in the Air Force we worked a month of days, a month of afternoons, then a month of midnights. Then back to days from midnights. It was frigging awful. And I was 20 years old then.

 

[tv1217]

I wouldn't mind that. It takes half the week for me to fully adjust to a new sleep schedule. 3-4 days a month sounds better than 12-16

Sounds like the AF. In the army we worked daya and nights 12 on, 12 off.

Here comes Act telling us about subs.

Hey just a note... Aaron over at Armory 219 has cases of MRE's in stock.

Has he ever sold out of them? For the past month and a half there‘s always been a stack of MREs right there.

I was there on Friday to pick up my Beretta 92fs. My .22lr conversion kit was wwyyy off, so I asked if he could dial it in some. This is the second time he’s worked on my baby.

I got to put about 150 .22lr rounds through it yesterday at my mom’s house and Aaron did a fantastic job, same as last. Those cans went flying whenever I zeroed my sights in on them.

I feel good giving my money to Aaron at 219 Armory. He even remembered my full name when I dropped off my Beretta, even though it’s been more than a month since I was in there last.

60 degrees outside.
Strip off jacket and think how warm it is.

65 degrees inside, add some layers and think how cold it is.

The joy of spending a week in Lagrange IL at a Rodeway Inn instead of driving 140miles a day to rotate through Argo yard for the IHB. Left my LCR at home and brought my H&R top break 32 S&W to accompany me.

That is probably the same ones... He is selling the for a 100 bucks a case which is pretty good these days for MRE's... I can't eat them because they are loaded with carbs or I would pick some up...

And I was just thinking I would go to Chiraq just 'cause. Oh well, guess I'll stay far out here with the sane folks.
