Thread: OK What time do you go to work!!

Site work - 0615 to 0630
Or the office - 0730

I hate Melbourne winters and site work.

I start at 6 either morning or night 12hrs follow and then i return to my family



Some may ask WHY?
The answer is simple.
This lady looked after me for the 30 years I was in the Army and raised three kids at the same time.
Now, it is my turn to look after her. Yeah, I now, SNAG!

Just out of interest, how many other males do that?[/quote]

I cook 90% of the meals in our house(as i love to cook and she doesn't)
She does nearly everything else(can't get her to do the lawns tho)

I work a mix of days, arvo's and nights over a 5 week rotational roster.

It becomes hard to be civil to an idiot at 06:30, on the morning of day 7 sometimes.

Andy,

I hear you man, especially the civil bit, as I am in the same boat it seems. I deal with certain 'members' of the community and sometimes they are very testing .......

I leave once the bat phone is taken over by one of the guys at the office. It should be switched over at 7:30am. If they don't ring to switch it over I stay home till they do and then set off (Something about not wanting me driving on the freeway using a mobile and laptop all at once.
I can now tell you all that wireless internet around the Yass region is great but the semis rushing past you while stopped as realy off putting.
Takes an hour to get to work to. but I guess since I have the bat phone I am always at work.

Start 1800hrs finish 0600hrs. On the bright side it's only 3nights a week.

Start 7.45am and finish about 4-5pm.

I start around 7am most mornings all depends when the kids get up and want breakfast then i knock off usualy by 9pm tho im on call 24/7 and days off are as rare as rockin horse poo ...

When i go back to payed work next year il be doin 2 jobs so that will make things interesting

Std day shift start 0700. Leave for work @ 0650 get up 0630.

Std night shift start 1900. Leave for work @ 1850 get up around 1200

Odd shifts start anytime (was just in the office 1/2 hr ago)

This fortnight was 206 hours in the office
