Too bad today wouldn't have worked for you; gonna be nice out. What's your weekend look like? I'm up EARLY but if you were free & wanted to knock it out first thing on Saturday or Sunday, I could come to you so we have a cold engine to work on. Let me know.

I didnt get the job. I just couldn't handle the hours they wanted me to work. 7 / 12's, 4 days, 3 nights. I would have worked the 7 / 12's but I can't do da and night in the short term. Not if they want me awake at my post.

Sucks. Best job around here. Don't know where I'll head next.

Sorry that did not work out Bill. That is some massive amounts of hours unless I am misunderstanding.

Hey Jay,

Yes it's a massive amount of hours, which I would tried to handle, but it's the 4 days on and 3 days night shift that kill me. I have insomnia and I can't just sleep when I need to, let alone stay awake for 24+ hours. I'm really really disapointed though, I had it nailed, they would have hired me, but I just can't do those hours. You know the weird part? It's not just the Security department. Even the recepionist has to pull that day / night crap.


I think everyone should just go to 4 / 10's.

Bill - that stinks about the job, but if you know you can't do the hours, I'd say you did the smart thing and passed. Might have ended up being a less than stellar reference. Good luck to you! I hope something comes along soon for you.

How's everyone doing tonight? I busted my Dremel tool tonight... rats! It is 20 years old though... seriously!! I'll take it apart to see if I can fix it first, before tossing it..

Hey Brendan!

I think you're right. There are times to suck it up and be a man - but if you KNOW you cannot do a job then maybe it's best you don't waste your time and energy and other people's time and energy and just keep looking.

I want to know who thought up those crazy hours. They need punchd in the 'nads (hard).
