It sure would help the slow nights pass by

Its a fine line - but in our roll (Emergency Services) it passed the time away while we are quiet.

And the past few night apart from general vehicle & equipment checks has been quiet......

Wish I was back on shift. 4 on 4 off sure beets 2 day weekends

I hear you - after working 4 & 4 for the past 11 plus years I dont want to change either.

Back underground tonight - will visit again later.

Catch you all later

Nope plenty of people here missing fingers, a woman killed not long ago, followed by a dumbass, removeing the tip of his pointer, 'tis a nasty place to work if your stupid.............a prerequisite to work here apparently

Don't get me wrong there are some good operators, but some call up with problems with machines after working here for 5,10 even 20 years, the equivelant of leaving your handbrake on in your car, getting a mechanic to check it out, because you'd simply forgotten how your machine works

One bloke missing 3 fingers from years ago, stuck his hand in a lock valve, it chewed his fingers off, gone forever where they went, when asked why he put his hand in there, he said "I didn't know what was in there"

Me! I make steel and create and load trains for the Steelink here at onesteel...

My official title "Onesteel Supply Chain Manufacturing Plant Scheduler"

And 6 weeks annual leave to boot....

Ooohh - That's be nice! My missus is in your std $45K a year 9-5 job. Good but nothing like six figures. Hope you've got your mortgage paid off by now. We've got about $40K to go on ours I think.
