I dunno should I be jealous? I get up at three fifteen AM go to work at
three fourty five am. (Two ladders down). Work four hours then go to
breakfast (same deck). Then up two flights (whoops forgot there's an
elevator) where I have eight hours off and repeat the whole thing in the
afternoon evening. Sometimes there's overtime, sometimes there isn't.
There's always overtime on Saturday and Sunday for this particular job
so I
do that 7/7. Every Sunday night I change shifts, the next one is 12 to
8
and so on. Another two weeks and I go on straight Mon to Fri eight hours
a
day. Still only two flights down to the work site though. Oh and I
have to
go down those two flights for lunch and supper. Nowhere really to go so
I
save a lot of money. We do have TV and cellphones though. At sea it's
the
same except water on both sides plus front and rear. Definitely nowhere
to
go then so you save even more money. We do this for four to six months
at a
time and then go look for the next job with anywhere from one month to
four
months of vacation complete with unemployment pay. In between . . . .
.work
on the boat, sail the boat .. . . etc. etc. etc. At sea we don't rotate
the
watches and this time I had the coveted 8-12. Life isn't too bad come to
think of it.

Sure beats the days when I was flagging traffic 30 plus hours a week and
working in the convenience store on the weekend or wasting my life away
in
Californiaville!

Cheers and fair winds . . . .. from the mighty Mississippi
