Omg putting in the hours

[Paulie 069]

It’s 4.20 in the morning and I’m just getting home from work, I started at 6.30 yesterday morning so just did 22hrs and I have to be back at 6.30 this morning. Basically in 2hrs, good thing is that the truck yard is only 55 seconds from my house so if I took a full minute means I made a wrong turn lol I’ve got 62hrs in since Monday after today I’ll have 70-72 hrs for week and then still have full week next week that will go on all one check because we get paid once every 2 weeks. So I should have anywhere from 120-140hrs for the pay period and overtime starts at 80hs for 2 week combined,, I’m looking at 40-60hrs overtime pay( and they pay cash for overtime. I’m just wondering when I’ll drop dead from exhaustion
Have to say that this schedule plays right into my wheel house because I’m used to crazy hours from fishing. I can do 36-40 hours straight and sleep for 3-4 hours and do it all again no problem. I gots stamina for an old guy be 53 in 3 weeks I mean 35 yea that’s it 35

I’ve found the secret of being able to stay awake so long without illegal drugs ,,, you get a 24o coffee and add three 5hr energy drinks shake well not stirred and guzzle it down in less than 5 minutes then wait for your heart to explode lol 6hrs or so left and I’m feeling good and definitely awake

Honestly it’s a baby sitting job actually, when Verizon is working on power lines either state or county road o set up protective equipment to close off road or to set up lane change with cones, takes 15 minutes if you take your time properly less. After all work area signs are properly displayed and visible to traffic, after that we have a large long heavy truck that has a huge crash pad (10ftlong 8ft wide And 4ft thick it’s on a hydraulic arm that lowers and rises the CRASH PAD we call it then we park behind the Verizon trucks and watch them for 8-12-24 hours and make sure nobody crashes into them Our truck would be the first line of defense and take the worst of the blow and protect the guys in the buckets in the air,, because if they get hit they definitely DIE no questions but besides that it’s a job that basically gives me free money 72hrs since monday

Well got a lot of sleep n rest and I actually feel worse than I did all week while putting in those hours. Everything is sore walking around like 80yr old man,, kids making fun of way I’m walking down the stairs,, I like to see them after 7 knee surgeries and beating yourself up for 18 years. I mean jeez I’m gonna be 35 in a month. Keep telling myself that and it’ll be true lol

 

[Paulie 069]

Was going thru my order sheet of where n when we go to places to set safety zone
I did 10 days straight for total of 115 hours and sad part is I would of made more money in 2 monk fishing trips only 2 days
It’s a hard pill to swallow but it’s keeping bills paid so I’m great full

You were running on adrenaline I know the feeling. Take it easy while you can and you’re body will tell you when you are rested.
