Tundras live: Dad jokes not allowed and IPA drinkers shunned and hair metal kicked ass

For another $15k I can have a 20' NorthRiver SeaHawk and do quite a bit more w/it....

 

I got up and played some cribbage with Mom (she has no set schedule) until almost 5 AM. I was in a pleasant sleepy fugue for those 3 hours. Slept for about 5.5-6 hours, and now dozing off and on.

Not sure how I'll feel in 4 hours when I get ready for work.

 

On shift for the first of 10 graveyards.

 

At least you don’t work for free!

 

There’s a word for that

You ever been voluntold?

 

One time years ago in 86 by my mom

 

I have saved this meme. I find it expressive and adorable all at once.

 

This is true. I value my time and I don't sell it for peanuts.

 

I’m sure you’ve explained it before, do you get increased wage for working nights or it’s all the same? I’m pretty sure my cousin did while working outage hours at the nuke plant

 

There is no shift differential. Hourly rate is what it is no matter what time or day it is. I wish I made extra on nights.

 

TW is heavily loaded with trolls. At least they are filtered into one area now.

 

Good thing tdotcom doesn’t have any trolls. That would be terrible.

 

Come on! @Taco-Spike

 

It would be. Especially if a few were moderators....

So far it's

 

Nothing wrong with a little

 

Well, there is that.

 

Get outta here! That's awesome

 

Work feels weird after a couple people got fired. Sort of surreal, and not real confidence inspiring for the whole job security thing. I love my schedule, enjoy the work, but I always have a massive looming feeling of impostor syndrome, and this has ramped that up about a hundred and ten percent. Very much having the feeling I need to pay off debt ASAP and try to get ready to have a job that pays half what I make again. I hate uncertainty.

 

Except you are not in a job that has a steep drop in a recession. Those who worry about losing the job are the ones who value the job and work hard. The folks who get let go never worry because they do not care - which is why they are not good workers. However, getting out of debt should always be your goal! Once you are financially independent then the worries disappear because debt is a horrible master.

 

Without going into details, one of the guys was a top tier excellent employee. It was a sensitivity firing, as I understand it. That's what makes it all uncertain. If they'll can a guy with over a decade more experience than me, who was actively training me, showed up to work early, busted ass, covered shifts and vacations, etc. then there is absolutely nothing that makes me safe in my position. All it takes is for somebody to "feel" like I did something wrong.

 

Sometimes we do not hear the full story. In the current environment HR has to keep their mouths shut.
