if i wanted the job, i could take a graveyard shift. something like 14 an hour starting pay, whole job is basicly a go-for

pr0digal jenius · Aug 20, 2006, 06:11 PM

graveyard sucks....but having a "floating schedule" is perhaps worse.

I never know when I'm working until like, 8 days ahead of time

Yeah I worked midnight to 8AM for 2 years, I swear to god it messed up my sleeping schedule for the rest of my life. 2nd shift wasn't too bad.. something like 4PM to midnight.. but it still messes with your head.

pr0digal jenius · Aug 20, 2006, 07:50 PM

z0mg GutterPunk's still around

CDsDontBurn · Aug 20, 2006, 08:32 PM

hmm.....floating schedule......my boss doesn't know how to schedule people

.

i only have a set schedule ('cept weekends) because of school

same here, but for 3 years in my case, and you do get f'ed for life...i still can't sleep properly at night and i'm done with that for over a year...

CDsDontBurn · Aug 20, 2006, 10:36 PM

if graveyard is as bad as you guys say....then this will only add to my sleep issues

You have sleep issues? Well..sorry to say..but your f'ed then...

It not only messes with your sleep but also with everything else, your system will be totally confused at first, you will get hungry at weird times and at the time your supposed to you will not be able to eat. Your internal clock will get all messed up. It's really not fun. Like i said, i'm done with the graveyard shift for over a year now and my system has still not ajusted to "normal" time.

yea, i've had issues falling asleep, waking up, eating, etc. since i was a kid. the most i ever sleep is 6hrs. and for me "sleeping in" is getting 8hrs. of sleep

. like, i'll be tired and want to go to sleep, but when i get to bed, i'll just lie there on my bed and not be able to go to sleep. sux really

mainman · Aug 20, 2006, 11:03 PM

Thing about graveyard is that you'll eventually get used to it and it will feel like your working normal hours, problem is..getting used to it...like most things in life...

CDsDontBurn · Aug 21, 2006, 06:33 PM

ok....so since friday morning at 6am until now (10:30am monday morning my time), i've only slept a total of about 10hrs. or so

this working graveyard thing this weekend has really messed w/me. i'm glad i have off from both work and school today. i don't think i'd be able function properly at work or school today.

Tinkerhell · Aug 21, 2006, 08:55 PM

Note to self: don't go water skiing for 6 hours in 95+ degree weather & not drink anyhting the entire time. Dehydration sucks!

Dark Lord · Aug 21, 2006, 09:43 PM

i hate electicle problems.... half of the vettes radio is dead. but i can get it to work if i put pressure on top of the radio its self. as soon as i take my hand off the top of the radio, the 2 speakers go out again.

CDsDontBurn · Aug 22, 2006, 06:34 AM

if you know what love line is......i'm listening it right now on my computer

.

freakin' awesome. don't need a readio no more

BWX · Aug 22, 2006, 11:18 PM

Lightning struck VERY close to my house.... like 3 times in 10 seconds.

I turned off my PC.. unplugged it- waited till storm passed.

Plugged PC back in.. I hear click click click click.. etc..

It won't boot.. Gets stuck on boot screen detecting IDE drives.. It detects my main one.. the new 160GB one. I also have an older 40GB with lots of stuff on it. It won't detect that one.

I turn it off - let it sit for a few minutes.. Try again.. Same thing, but this time I go into BIOS setup. I see no 2nd IDE drive.. Restart.. It detects the second one, but numbers are all wrong.. it won't boot.

I power down, unplug PC, unhook 40 GB HD, restart. Boots up normally with just the 160GB HD.

So shit I have saved since 2002 is all gone.. About 30GB of stuff.. some is backed up somewhere think.. but not all of it. That blows. Gonna try to get it to boot again with that HD hooked up, if it doesn't.. I guess I lost all that stuff.

Dark Lord · Aug 23, 2006, 02:22 AM

damn, we could use some of that rain here. i dont think weve had an actuall ran for 2 or 3 weeks now.

updates on the vette. radio is fucked, secondaries work like charm now. damn thing is almost scary to hear open up.

CDsDontBurn · Aug 23, 2006, 02:38 AM

so you live outside of buffalo then?

we don't ever get heavy rains like that here. all we get are earthquakes and hurricane force winds through the cajon pass

BWX · Aug 23, 2006, 03:12 AM

Yeah near the "Amherst" word.. We get lots of rain, and live right near the largest fresh water deposit on the planet. Water is not a problem. I've seen 8 feet of snow up here in 3 days.. not drifts, the drifts covered houses. Our cars were completely buried.. not even lumps in the snow. It was crazy.

CDsDontBurn · Aug 23, 2006, 05:56 AM

lol....you'll have to explain what drifts are, mainly because the only snow i see is on the mountains from my house during winter

CDsDontBurn · Aug 23, 2006, 05:58 AM

oh....and a 20min. oil change turned into a 2hr. job

yea.....i went to change my mom's oil in her car cuz she asked me to, and i was like "ok, no problem." so i go to change it, and freakin' the oil plug is stuck like no other. i ended up needing to use the impact gun to take that biatch off. THEN, the oil filter, NEVER came off

. i don't have the tool for it, and whoever the mechanic was who changed the oil last, must have been like superman or something to put that sh!t on.

Tinkerhell · Aug 23, 2006, 02:56 PM

I've run into the oil filter problem & if your not squimish about it.... Driv e a long heavy flat head screw driver through the oil filter & use that to give you leverage to turn the filter. Just do it high enough up on the filter so you don't hit the bolt mount tha tthe filter actually screws onto. Should work like a charm.

CDsDontBurn · Aug 23, 2006, 09:19 PM

well.....it's not like it matters anymore. as of around 1:30am this morning, some bastared rammed into my mom's car and ran off. her car is now inoperable.

i'll post pix later

Tinkerhell · Aug 23, 2006, 09:22 PM

That sucks. Hope mom's ok.

CDsDontBurn · Aug 23, 2006, 09:25 PM

yea, she's fine. her car was parked when it happened. my mom is just P.O'ed cuz it's HER car.
