Imagine working a 12 hour night shift.... that's all I've known for over 6 years, and 8-16 hour day/night shift before that. It definitely wears on you, and you age prematurely. You vent your frustration well in this piece. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "I hope no one asks me to show them the ropes; I have no idea where they are.

I completely feel your pain in this piece.Very nice write,I hope things gets better.Thank you.

You captured it well sir. I used to work 12 hour shift day/night. supposed to be 4 on 4 off but usually worked out to 6 on 2 off due to vacations and hunting season. I preferred the nights as there weren't to many engineers about so you could get stuff done and have a little butt time. It gets old real quick. During shutdowns I have worked 26 days straight 12 hours at a time and that really makes you old in a hurry. One thing I did learn though was to "never underestimate the stupidity of and engineer", especially the ones born with a silver spoon in their mouth that never did an ounce of real work in their life. Wonderful write. Respectfully, Rett: "The only thing observable with the naked eye to exceed the speed of light is rumor" Unknown

I really liked this. I still haven't gotten my first job but I can't wait for the distraction and the time it'll take. It reminded me of my 'brother' who is not my brother and how he changes sometimes but most of the time he doesn't. I like it immensely.. nothing else to say except whatever. kudos

Moon, You penned this very well and the title right on! I remember those days, working dawn till dark [literally] Anyway it brought a smile and a sigh to my face. Thanks for posting! "There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you." Will Rogers
