My last very foggy bong memory was at some Russian guys place and he had filled the thing with vodka and ice. Every half hour or so we would drink the vodka before refilling.

Bbbbrrrrrrrrrr…

Nate, I really thank you for all the great tips you’ve given me, but to tell you the truth I haven’t touched any drugs for about…well a while. But all this talk about weed does remind me of some fond things like getting busted, driving into large immovable objects at high speed…you know…just stuff like that.

LOL! Sounds like more than just the greens to me hahaha

i stopped everything but weed and occassional drinking. Other shit got to intense for me/i went overkill with those psycadellic shit…never again nver again

Disaster response during Ike and Gustave hurricanes. Honestly, I didn’t handle it well and wound up briefly institutionalized afterwards. 6-7 days a week (1-2 days off every other week) working 7am-7pm. I wasn’t on the front lines, but handling phone calls concerning evacuations, rescue, PODs, etc. No fun.

I understand why, but I don’t understand how. I mean, for a couple of months it can be sustained with difficulty, but on a permanent basis…

Suck it up buttercup. At least your time will end. Some people do that shit their whole lives.

If you are getting paid for the OT I don’t see what the problem is. Try getting some more sleep and eating better. Sex also helps. Fuck the pain away LOL.[/quote]

I suppose that is right. suck it up. I know it will end, and I’m bloody glad it will. I admire, but dont understand how people can sustain those kind of hours on a permanent basis without going insane. I know for sure I would.

I get paid minimum wage and no overtime pay. We don’t even get a lunch break lol! I eat in the landrover between jobs, so its a case of wolfing food down when you can.

Fucking the pain away would help, if the girl wants to get out of bed at midnight. So I’ll have to settle for wanking LOL[/quote]

What kind of work are you doing? I was a mover for a few summers and we only got OT on office moves over a certain # of hours. I worked similar hours to you for basically minimum wage, and yes it was awful.

I’m assuming by no OT pay you mean you just don’t get time and a half? Or do you only get paid for 40 hours? If that were the case I’d fucking quit in a heartbeat.[/quote]

We put up and take down marquees. Sounds easy (which it is mentally), but the frames are made with alot of metal, boarded wood flooring and canvas, we also furnish them with carpet, dance floors, stages, tables, chairs and bars. I suppose its a little bit similair to working as a mover with all the loading and unloading of stuff onto trailers/lorries etc.

It’s like deadlifting and pressing and shit all day. I’d love it if it wasnn’t for the hours, I mean 12 hours a day I would quite happily sustain, but any longer is evil.

Yes, no time and a half. If I work 80 hours I get payed for 80 hours, if I only got payed for 40 hours I would be gone in a shot.

A bit of cheese would work a treat, but wine… oh god… I can’t even drink the stuff if I’m already drunk. I’d drink wine if I want to pul an accidently on purpose sicky lol

Mine isn’t a physical job but I’ve been doing a lot of work for myself until things are going well enough that I can quit my day job. I’m basically working almost two full time jobs.

Every now and again I have to pull an all nighter, and often go a few nights with only a few hours sleep each night.

The key for me is staying off the drink. I’m fine unless I get a hangover, but if I do with the hours I’m working it can take days to shake it off completely.

I also need a full day off every 2-3 weeks. Been doing this since October last year.

Edited to add that I always keep it at the forefront of my mind why I’m doing this: to pay off some debts and eventually have my own business and make much better money. If it’a a summer job, just think how much easier life will be when you get back to uni and have all of this extra cash.

I like to make work fun. Turn lifting heavy stuff into a game or competition, crack wise and bust each others balls, shit like that. Actually, we turn everything into a game or competition and are setting new company records for production and profit. And the days are shorter. When we exceed expectation, no overtime is required.

If you can’t have fun at work, get a different job.

Officially, no. Unofficially, yes. As a department we get virtually any thing we ask for almost immediately, and individually the ability to move up the pay scale to max with very little resistance.

Well I manned up and got on with it, ended up having a great laugh. Got enough money together to see me through this year of uni and have prospects to go back to the same job next year but earn a better hourly wage as a driver.

It was a hard 3 months and my body hurts (especially all my old shoulder injury has been niggling but that will clear up in a week or so with rest and I’ll be able to hit the gym, athletics and climbing at uni) but I’m glad I done it cause its just gonna make me appreciatae uni that much more, and I’ve also gained a lot of respect for those who have to work stupidly long hours permanently

I used to work at a car dealership. WORST. JOB. EVER. Sure yeah, new cars that you get to play with and drive everyday…and it’s not strenous work but it was stressful. 12 hour days 6-7 days a week and most times you barely made enough money to feed yourself or cover your draw. SUCKED.

x2. I did the first year of marriage bc I needed a job just to feed my wife and I. Miserable. I never realized how crooked and money hungry human beings could be. One minute, two salesmen are talking and laughing. The next minute, you see one bad mouthing the other to his customers and then taking em. I witnessed my sales manager totally take advantage of a widowed woman. That was the first and only time I quit a job without having another one in place. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

38

Just suck it up.

I’ve worked 70-80 a week for 6 months or so. Its not so bad, just consuming. Save the money, don’t spend it on stupid shit.
