Am so tired, working too many 14s. Did a 16 hour overnight shift last night. Back in at 7 AM tomorrow. Fingers crossed for layoff this week!

By Lucy I still have a bruise on the finger I smashed on my first day at Dryden, 3 weeks and forever ago. I’m kind of marveling at how much damage I managed to do to myself! The drive to Dryden was even less eventful that last time. Fully rested, safe in the knowledge my…

By Lucy I only slept a couple of hours before I had to get up. I didn’t want to sleep in too much – it would make it harder to switch off midnights – but I also had an appointment at the local float tank place. First – to unpack my car. I’d fallen asleep…

By Lucy Now we’re in week two of the shutdown, everyone’s starting to get burned out. I’m looking forward to being laid off, or having the weekend off in some fashion. I need a few days to lay in bed and recover. My lead hand is getting hit hard with it. He’s was here for…

By Lucy Update time, I am so weary. I worked through the weekend. 9 hours on Saturday, 12 hours on Sunday. Weekends are automatic double time, so that means my 21 hours worked becomes 42 hours of pay. A weeks’ pay in two days, on top of the overtime I worked throughout the week. I…

By Lucy I was anxious in the morning. I’d tossed and turned all night. It occurred to me that I had been able to run out the door fairly quickly at the Vagabond’s place for two reasons; one, he was a shorter drive to the mill than my current place, and two, I had Soylent.…

By Lucy I’ve been working on a longer post for my workweek. I don’t want to devote too many posts to scaffolding, but I did want to do something sort of in-depth while I’m waist-deep in it. I’ve been weighing up different things to include, so here’s a small update. I didn’t do much during…
