tons of overtime, and I am whooped! it is causing me to miss workouts cause I am so damn drained......
we are doing 6 days of ten hour shifts and with drive time I am gone for 12 hours a day, add in 7 hours of sleep, trying to cook do cardio etc....I have no fuckin time........they said this overtime is expected to last 2-3 more months, damn I hope not!!!!!!! :eviltongu
 
I say we throw G4E a pity party becuase he finally got what he was asking for just a couple months ago and now doesn't want it.

LOL.....g4e you've been :owned:
 
fuk u tom......... :)

I didn't say I didn't want this job, I stated my workouts are suffering. But I need the money, got a family to care for, that comes first anyways
 
u could always do a shortend workout or just a push/pull thing 2xs a week
or take some time off & just keep ur diet tight
 
things could be worse G4E just be glad they arent...

its good to hear ya got a job,,

Yes, very, very true. The overtime is good for the pocketbook but brutal on the mind and body. Hopefully it won't last much longer like you said. zeven though family comes first, you still gotta take care of yourself so you will feel good mentally and physically. You'll get back in the swing of things.

I second that! Sometimes you just have to modify things a little to make them work. But definitely keep the diet in check til you can get back at it on a regular basis. You can do that :)
 
I'm sorry to hear that bro. I have had a job similar to that in the past and it totally DRAINED me. It was the same shift you work, we did work some over time but not that much. The schedule is what got me though. I was getting off work about 2am. Trying to get a workout with a schedule like that is damn near impossible.

hahaha, I think Tom is finally showing his true colore lol
 
yes I can refuse, but if you refuse overtime they hold raises......

Oh well, that kinda sucks. Well, on the bright side, you said it shouldn't last much longer :) Just keep tellin yourself that the extra money is good for so many things. I'd love to be able to earn some extra dollars.
 
I know wha you mean about the long hours. Shit I was working 5 hours a day, for the next 3 days I'll be working at least 7. Is there no end to these crazy hours..lol.
 
your shitting me right? 3 days at 7 hours??

man you must be drained......lol

bro I normally work 4 ten hour shifts, so 10 hour shifts aint shit, it is when you do 6 days in a row that drains your body.
 
I empathize with you g4e. I work 12 hour shifts- days and nights. That can fuck ya up pretty good too sometimes.
 
well tonight I work 4:30pm till 3AM.......get home about 3:45AM and have to be back at work at 11AM saturday morning....lol

aint that fucked up???? so I have to get up at 9AM in order to eat, shower and leave by 10:15AM to get there on time, gonna be a fun day, with my eyes half open :)
 
Hang in there G4E .... try lifting as "maintenance" levels until your work load lightens up.

Bench , Deads and Squats are all you may need to maintain.

Keep at it, you?ll need your strength to carry around that BIG wallet :hahano:
 
this fuckin sucks, I got home about 4am, and here I am up at 9 getting ready to go back in, I am slamming coffee and ephedrine trying to keep my eyes open

Bro that sucks. I dont think anyone should have to work a schedule like that. Are you putting applications out anywhere else?
 
I don't see how they can legally work you those kind of hours. Do they say you have to work those amount of hours or get fired?

hell no, cuz when we aint on OT, I work 4 ten hour days and get three day weekends, that is the shiz-nit

benefits rock, pay is good, and job is not bad at all. I guess I really should be thankful, cuz so many people have no job at all, or at least not a decent one. I know I made damn good money this week, more than I have ever had before.


and kclifter, are these hours illegal? no way bro......non union shop can work as many hours as they want, I never said i would get fired for turning down OT, I said they would hold the raises for longer is all
