Topic: So whats you'r work week like

[Khalee1]

I work third shift 11 to 7:30 cleaning floors when I get off I stay up till maybe 12 or 1 pm try not to stay up any later, as I cant do the no sleep or 3 or 4 hours sleep bit anymore. I get up at 9:30 or sometimes 8 pm get ready for work rinse and repeat till Friday when I go in at 4:30 in the morning and get off at 7:30 in the morning just for that little bit of overtime the extra 30 buck helps .

Starting to get dull too, but with two big plants here in OK City closing down I figuard I needed to keep the job I got for know anyway.

I work four ten hour shifts 3:00 PM to 1:30 AM and I just moved from the rough mill where we cut blanks for cabinet parts to shipping. I take the rough mills pallets and wrap them up and put them away so the day shift shipping can send them out on the trucks. I have been spending so much time on the fork lift that I try to use the turn signal lever in my car to put it in gear.

I get up about 6:30 and drive 25 minutes to downtown Tulsa.  I review security logs for 3-4 hours, until I want to shoot myself.
I eat lunch.  Then, I review security logs, and do some stuff I'm not allowed to tell you about. (I give them 25-30 hours a week).

About 1:30 or 2:00 I leave and go to work for myself.  I'll either make sales calls, I do installations, or send out mailers.   

About 5-5:30 I head home and eat, change clothes, and start doing manual labor on one of the houses we're fixing up to resell.  I also spend Saturday, and Sunday after church doing manual labor.

I go to bed sometime between 8 and 11, wake up, and do it again.

The wife has pretty much the same schedule, and we can't figure out why we're so damned tired all the time.

(Whispers) Well, they refine this stuff that is very flammable, and is burned in cars. 


Mostly, I find disparaging comments about our company posted on the Internet.  Then I identify the poster and we put out a hit on them with our retailers that ensures their gasoline is always pumped from the top of the tank, where the water accumulates.   


OK, actually, I consult with their IT group to ensure the integrity of the systems that handle your credit card number as it passes through the company, from the gas pump or cash register, to the settlement with Visa etc.. I check who is accessing the data stores, why they are doing it, and I monitor employee behaviors from programmers to cashiers. 

Since I designed the work process and security protocols, they decided they wanted me to manage them for a while.  I ran the original implementation project, and am the first project manager in this industry (and we are the first Oil & Gas Company) to run a project that has been successfully certified as a safe haven for handling credit card data by the card association (Visa, MC, Amex and Discover).

Let's see...I get to work sometime between 9:00 a.m and 9:30.  On an average day I take 15-20 minutes to go get something to eat and munch on it at my desk.  Once every two months I actually go out to eat with co-workers or someone else.  If we're 2-3 months out from an election, and none of our 'grassroots' clients have a big project deadline, I will leave between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.  If we're still in the same range of time before the election, I might have to work one or two weekend days every two weeks, usually for three to eight hours. 

Six to eight weeks before the election, we go on election cycle.  M-F come in between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 (unless work ended after 11:00 p.m. and then I come in at 10 a.m.).  Work ends between 8:00 p.m. and Midnight with the average being between 8:00 and 9:30 p.m.  At least one night per week lasts until 11 to midnight.  Saturdays I show up around 10:00 a.m. and work four to fifteen hours depending on workload.  Sundays are usually off, or just four hours, usually from home.  Two weeks before the election, an early night is one that ends before 10:00 p.m.  A late night endswhen I wake up from my sleeping perch underneath my desk to begin the new day.  Two weeks out until election day, I work seven days a week usually.  Weekend before the election I've been sent to local campaigns and end up working around the clock (or nearly so). 

The election was two weeks ago (or so).  I've worked two Saturdays so far, and there have been two days where I worked past 8:00 p.m. (one until midnight).  The next election is a single campaign in September for the Nevada Governor Primary.  The one after that is of course November with a big campaign on behalf of oil companies against the oil severance tax. 

This next cycle is going to be murder...

Lets see,

I get to work by 0630, M-F,

Last week, I calibrated and/or repaired 4 optical power meters, 3 optical time domain reflectometers. 6 oscilloscopes, 6 signal generators, 4 digital multimeters, and 2 AC Voltmeters.  I also solved a few computer problems for the ones to lazy to learn what to do, trained on our new resistance standard, and took the DOD computer course on trafficking in humans.

And most inportantly, went swimming with my granddaugter 4 of those days
