the 100% directionless thread

My shifts at the new job (whooo!) 2 12 hour days, 2 12 hour nights, 4 days off.
That works for me.
 
I wonder if Travelocity has deals on trips to Greenland, or maybe Norway north of the Arctic Circle...

I love west Texas. If the wife and I could work out in west Texas and live about the same we do here then we would move. From what ive seen we can't though.

I'm also getting a free ski boat out of the trip so I'm all over going. Looks like the weather will be a little nicer next weekend too.

To add the to the schedule thing we work 2-2-3 12hr shifts. 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off. With the 3 day stints falling on fri, sat, sun. So every other weekend is a 3 day weekend off. We won't let our folks work more than 24hrs in a row.
 
Socal left mississippi, I am now back in So cal. the only problem is that I left a very good friend there:wub:. I am very sad and single now:sad:. why does one door opening always mean the other closes. this is the second time this has happened to me. such is life.

You have set days. But one week you work this this and this. and then week 2. is that that that.

I work

Monday, Wednesday thursday and friday

and

Wednesday through Saturday.

Every shift is different though. Some are set days each week. Some are different. It depends. There are 5 shifts up for grabs right now. And 3 more opening. I am sure you will be able to find something that fits what you need.

Hmm. Well, I'm hoping to work nights, so it should hopefully work out.

Tired earlier than usual today. Good night to everyone I'll miss in chat and facebook. :(
 
Rodeo weekend is almost over. :-( I love rodeo standbys. The best part of the whole show is the REAL cowboys with their heelers and border collies penning up the bulls after the bull riding. Those dogs are absolutely amazing! I don't know how they don't get crushed. And they are so small, comparatively speaking, yet the bulls obey them almost without question.
