Generally, work sux! I think when they sat down w/paper and pen to set the guidelines for the work week, the dumba**es made a typo! I think it's supposed to be; work 2 days w/ 5 days off every work week; work 2 weeks and 50 weeks vacation time every work year. The only thing they did get right was the 8 hour dealio. Wait a friggin' minute! If we're supposed to work 8 hours a day; why do I have to put in 10 hours every day w/o overtime pay? This sux! Welcome to the "agricultural sector"! :p

Oh no,not a 12 hour day....geez,I wish I could ONLY work 12 hours a day!!You should get a job driving an OTR truck for a living,then you get to work the day shift AND the night shift!!!And if you OWN the damn thing(like me)then you get all the extra enjoyable hours of paperwork to go along with it!!!I'm not bitching,just pointing out that no matter how bad you think you have it...someone always has it worse!!One of my first years driving I spent 312 days away from home and I guarantee not more than 10% of those days were less than 12 hours.So cheer up,it could be worse!!!!

12 hours days= 4 days on 4 days off (graveshift) with vacations and holidays/sick days, works out to around 165 days a year at work. I can live with the lack of sleep while at work for the time off with the family and on the water. Gotta luv the rotating days off. Sometimes the weekdays at the lake are nice and mellow and then the 4 day weekends make the recovery a little easier. Rough life. Aviation rocks. :cool: Gary

IT IS PRETTY NICE TO HAVE THOSE DAYS OFF
IT NICE TO GO BOATING DURING THE WEEK
AND HAVE THE LAKE TO YOUR SELF.

I had to do something similar. I worked on a boat for a guy for about 22 hours straight because I wanted it done and over with. Then I had to handle my schooling, then back to the boat for a few hours then another boat. 3 1/2 days with no sleep and I couldn't get more than 6 hours of sleep in after that. Still haven't snapped back from that because I've been sick so much lately.
