I just basically decided to help run a company since my battle rap career did not work out
We call those swings and mids. Both are cool if you can stay on them without alternating. My crew rotates between days/swings/mids for 7 days, so, not as cool. Beats roofing or farm work though!
There's a guy at our church who works for Volkswagen here. He gets his shift changed every two weeks like that. It sucks.

Indeed, for sooth. Jacks up your metabolism and desire to do...antyhing. Speaking of Volkswagon, I need to do some test driving next year! Time for a new car I can barely afford.
I would just like to have any job, shift or 9-5.
Me too Treppa, me too...
Pathfinder session tomorrow. And there is the chance that the party will be complete, including witch returning from extended hiatus.
I would just like to have any job, shift or 9-5.Me too Treppa, me too...
Hope you both find decent employment soon, as your diligence, intellect and amazingness cannot be denied!
I am looking for a job as well.

My mother (a nurse) used to work all 3 shifts all in the same week. Ugh.
More recently, she was doing all swing shifts. They just switched her to straight days. I am glad. A 60 year old woman with health problems does not need to be working a random salad of all 3 shifts.
no seriously just start your own company then you get to work all the time
I love 65 hour weeks
because they are shorter than 80 hour weeks
srsly why do you guys think I post all the time
good morning FaWtL
Shifts?
well, I work Flextime (like most office staff in Germany) in a manufactoring site and the operators have different Shift Systems per load factor of the department:
Monday to Friday:
- 1 shift: 7 to 16 - today the rarest
- 2 shift: early and late 5:45 till 14:00 and 13:45 till 22:00 weekly change
-3 shift bridges the gap with night shift 21:45 till 6:00 - weekly change
Monday to Saturday:
- called 4 shift, a strange system with 3 or 4 day blocks of early, late and night and days of
allegedlly the best shift system for your health, I kind of doubt that
Continues:
1 night: 18 till 6
1 day: 6 till 18
one free: 18 till 18
no weekends, no state holidays
they get paied extremly well (sundays pay +50% tax free, days like christmas or new year or labour day pay +100%)
but after 20 years it starts to take it's toll on the body
Morning. Time to prepare for session.

perfect gardening weather:
23*C / 73F sun behind coulds no wind
I took part in rural Germany's favorite Saturday ritual: cleaning the sidewalk
responsible citizens do it every saturday! Me, I do it every few month
then I deweeded the front lawn and trimmed the lilac bushes in the garden
and inbetween I had some nice chats with farious neighbours, the whole street was gardening/sidewalkworking
Me, I took a 2-½ hour bicycle ride. Kinda wish I had some tool to measure how far I went, but thanks to a roadsign I know I got at least 8 kilometers outside town before the halfway point.
And now it's time to go scour the Qadira and Katapesh books for ideas for 325-word side treks.

I would just like to have any job, shift or 9-5.I know that feeling. I've been looking since March, and I'd kill for shift work.
My crew and I would kill to see our families more than one weekend a month and also to avoid depression, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, crippling back pain, and tinitus after 20 years of doing this. Thus far we're at a 90% failure rate for avoiding all of the above. Its not always greener..
Good luck with the various job searches, everyone!

I finally got a new Frightful Fridays! entry up on the blog. I think this is the first devil I've done for the feature. Enjoy!

I did that. And I put all my savings into it to get it through the hard times. Which is why I'm now bankrupt and homeless and jobless. Go entrepreneurship!

Hucksters always have amused me. This is a nice take on the theme.

What do you do?

FAWTL thread rules: no politics, no religion, no drama, and no sports. That last one gets stretched a bit sometimes, but generally holds. Oh, and the top poster of every page is nekkid. Welcome to the thread!
What is it you do, Maccabee? Sounds pretty rough.

That sound miserable. I don't mind working nights and very long shifts, but it's hard to imagine how one could ever settle into a schedule.

If you lived closer I'd lend you my work-bike - it should cure that feeling in one way or another.

He's done a pretty good job acclimating, but I agree it's not for everyone. It would drive me bonkers.
And anyone who's not seen Lillyhammer should give it a try. It's like the spiritual (comedy) sequel to Sopranos.
Set (mostly) in Norway.

That wasnt meant to be "onedownsmanship" anymore than "I'd kill for shift work" was. Just stating plainly that "it could always be worse" and conversly, better.

I hear you. My business crashed and burned, but it didn't take my personal assets with it. The good news is that I moved into a new career field after that, and it has been fairly lucrative.
You guys seem smart, hard working, and adaptable. I hope you recover with much success!

Fellnight Queen run by my son in law is today. :)
We have a large and interesting group, but we are having a hell of a time getting everyone free on the same Saturday.
Take care!

this weekend is the village Backfest "backing fest"
until electric ofens and backerys bcame wildly available in rural aeras of Germany, every village had a public Backhaus, a small building with a large wood-fueld backing oven where every familiy backed their bread and sheet cakes
in the 80s many villages restorated the out of use ovens (usually governed by the local clubs) and started using it once a year to back bread and sheet cakes and have a party with cake, beer and Blasmusik
I bought A nice big oldfashioned Sourdough bread and, because my dad donated a lot of apples we got cakes for free
mmmmmm, Streuselkuchen, Zwetschgenkuchen, Schmandkuchen, Käsekuchen
