Wish I could say something smartass, mostly because its you and I just hate giving you a straight answer that isn't laced with sarcasm..but you got me there. That is a nice truck.

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.

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).
