Thread: My work is done

........ for the week!

Mine starts for the week in 2 hours. Enjoy your time.

My work is mostly flexible but I have to work every day--every single day. Holidays, weekends, and days off don't exist with the work I do. Oh well, at least I can decide when I go to work every day. Then again, I can't leave every day until the work is done. It all mostly balances out, but I really hate it when people say "have a nice weekend!"
They don't exist.

Deciding when you can go to work is better than when you grew up on the farm!

5 am then 5 pm those cows have to be milked 7 days a week!

My father HATED Alabama's song Forty Hour Work (for a week) for the reason you just posted --along with many others.

Yup. Had to get up at 4:15 in order to make it to school on time.

I work 21, 13.2hour days in a remote location, then I have a 21 day weekend. It is a schedule I’ve gotten used to. There is often changes in the crew, and some times you get to go to work, and other times you have to go to jail. It’s a small crew and one person can make it swing one way or the other. Mariners are all broken, and sometimes the broken pieces don’t fit together that well. I do rather enjoy my 21 day weekends. My weekend starts on Tuesday at 1230. I will be not starting it off quite like that, but it will be the same in that it will be relaxing and enjoyable. Everyone enjoy the moments of your life that allow you the simple pleasures, however they fit in.

My father was different than many!

He milked in the morning and us kids did it at night.

Our schedule was 7 am and 7 pm to start.

The hay doesn't get dry to bale until 9 am anyway so why get done early?

Why milk in the daylight and then run lights on your tractor later?

I spent 2 hours a day plus n the bus to school.

Sleeping in in the morning was a plus!

Luckily for us we were the last ones picked up by the bus in the morning, otherwise we would have had to get up even earlier. Downside was we also were the last off the bus route at the end of the day. Fortunately there was another bus that went within a mile and a half of the farm so we rode that one after school and it got us home an hour earlier. Of course, it sucked in the winter, but I hated riding the bus so the walk was worth it.

whats the make and model of that stogie MC?
i like your choice in bourbon. though i generally gravitate more towards irish whisky.
