I do 12 hr shifts as well...1830-0600 and vice versa. 4 days, then 48hrs off, 3 nights then the weekend off, 3 days, then 48 hrs off, 4 nights, then 5 1/2 days off, 4 8hr days and then 6 days off and then start all over again...a vicious cycle.

I used to work in an oil field. They burned natural gas to generate electricity and produce steam for injection wells. Some of the gas pipelines were huge. I would be standing next to one listening to the noise, thinking that if there was a leak, I was a goner.

Suits.....well.......they just get like that cause you aint #1.....they are.

Mike W,
I'm fortunate that the Gas transmisson pipe line from Canada comes through my town. This allows us to have the benefit of natural gas out in the boonies where most people have to buy and store propane. There are two huge lines.
