Not bad, although I am having a painful medical procedure done tomorrow.

You?

I'm stuck working the night shift on a construction project. Acting as safety guy for 5 guys on laptops.

Bored off my rear.

Whats the procedure anything major?

How unsafe can 5 guys on laptops be? Maybe I'm not understanding.
At least you have PC access at work. I'd never get any work done if I had a PC to play with.

Whats the procedure anything major?

Don't mind me, I'm just indulgingin a little TMI. I'll live.

Well that's the whole thing. They really cant be hence my lack of involvement onsite. I'm just here to meet the ambulence and fill out the report if need be. Hopefully they wont run 24hrs anymore and I can get back to days.

I ususally spend the rest of the night entering data for time projections into the computer which is tough to complete when the people you need to ask things of all work days.

TMI??? (sorry i have no clue on that one)

Time projections for what, may I ask?

Too Much Information.

Project Completion. How Owner driven changes and other things impact progress and ability to maintain an end date that kind of stuff.

So are you working a graveyard shift? Years ago I did a stint working in a hospital 3rd shift (11pm - 7am). I actually liked it, it worked out well with my natural tendencies to stay up late. The hospital was quieter, and a little spooky though.

 

[NHawk19]

Extended graveyard 7pm-6am. I dont have a problem with the time, I acctually enjoy sleeping in. The only problem is that the people I need to talk with tend to work from 8-5. E-mail has been working but it's tough to meet deadlines when all you can do is email back and forth, just takes longer to resolve issues. And since I'm the only one from our office here (laptop guys are subs) they have a tendency to keep me out of the loop.

The only reason I'm on nights is that I'm the ranking FNG with the company

 

[Serene]

11 hour shift! I hope you're getting OT.

FNG?

double post.

One christmas break from college I worked nights doing... if you can believe this... janitorial work for a restaurant I had waited tables for. they didn't have room on their sked for me to do anything else.

I think I lasted two days. Yikes but men's rooms are gross.



Proved to me that there are some things not worth doing for money, no matter how broke you are.

So, the baby sitting a bunch of guys on laptops doesn't sound too bad to me.

 

[NHawk19]

Nope no OT

F***ing New Guy

Definetly not the worst thing I could be doing I know that

They're funny though: 3 of them sit next to each other writing code staring at the screen with Doritos and Jolt Cola all around. Like a bad stereotype

Yeah, you could be working for Hewlett-Packard as a contractor.... LOL!

Buwhahahaha...

Never mind me, I'm bitter...

You think they're worse than Women's Rooms? I know someone who works in a movie theater and he swears the women's rooms are much grosser. I won't explain why, but you can just imagine.
