Anybody wanna change jobs? I got called in to work at 11:30 sunday night, got off at 7:15am. Got called in at 11:30 monday night, got off at 3:30am, went back to work at 8am with no real sleep, then got off 5:30 tonight, and I've been working my ass off the whole time. They were talking about having me come in again late tonight, but I told them absolutely no way! I've been up now for about 30 hours and am beat, really need to sleep, but I don't feel tired enough.

That's enough feeling sorry for myself, lots of other people have it way worse. I'd hate to think of how much any linemen or utilities workers have been working lately

The ice cream department at the cheese factory has been trying to get me to transfer into their department. I said no way! They have been getting 33 hours of overtime a week!!!

We got 3 mills in town and only 2 are running. And they are doing 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off.
And the last time we listed a job opening, we had over 100 applicants, when we are lucky to get one applicant in two months. My boss said that was the hardest interviews he's ever given, when he had more than 30 exceptional applicants for the job. I keep telling people lately to be thankful you got a job, no matter how crappy it is, cause there is alot of people wanting a job right now!!
