Not enough hours in the day!

[rnixon]

Working twelves makes it tough to fit the workouts in. Skimping in the cardio a little but going hard on the weights!

I've been there..it's tough. Gonna be working 7 x 10's for a short run...but 12's are right around the corner.

Wife works 12's, but only 3 a week. I see what it does to her and her motivation for the gym when she's done work. Hard to do...

I go straight there. I'm 2 weeks on 2 off. I almost find it harder to do at home because I'm too busy, here I just go but don't take as much time as when I'm home. Just thankful it's been awhile since I've worked nights. Knocking wood lol

I don't think I have ever worked 8's since I was like 18. 6's while at school were good though.

All that work builds character,lol

It definitely gives you a new attitude towards working 40 hrs. I never hear anyone complaining they don't feel like being there and blah blah blah. Makes you appreciate what you have more as well.

Lol, while I was working during high school we hired a new guy from Fort Mac. He was complaining that 8hrs wasn't enough because all he was used to was working 12hours a day. I thought he was crazy but now it's all I do to.

Re: Not enough hours in the day!

My schedule is 7 on 7 off, 12hours a day. I've been doing closer to 10 days on 4 off though, the extra days are just bullshit training courses but it's easy double time hours so why not. This is a typical night:

Same job as Homer Simpson, panel operator. The only difference is his equipment's old school, it's all analog, our stuff is digital.
