Hello everyone, I was contacted via email to see if I was still breathing ... and the answer is yes  My job is in full swing and it is crazy ... most people will not work the hours I have been working. 12 to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week ... as a matter of fact ... today is the first day that I have had off in 32 days  The pay is exceptional ... but the time off stinks! Thank you Ed for the email and "yes" my friend ... I am still alive. I have got to go ... I just wanted to say "Hello" Sincerely, John a.k.a. "Bear" |

Hey John, I have to agree with Tom. I know the money is good and bills get paid, but if you weren't working so much, you could get your Genie out of storage and do some fun stuff that you're so good at doing!!! Just be careful up on those towers.

John, glad you are ok!
Hey, I worked double shifts for four years. Got me away from my first ex.
I was an highly salaried executive, and I worked warehouseing and trucking at night for the same company.
I had severely broken my finger on my left hand 10yrs before with that company. I had filed a claim, and followed their Drs., orders. Well, my finger finally fell apart.
It was workman's compensation on that one. My original salary was minimum wage when I broke my finger.
The final settlement was 7/8ths gross pay on average for the previous three years!
I had radical surgery on my finger, ligament transplants, etc. I was laid up for six months in special traction. I also played guitar so they couldn't just amputate it. They wouldn't anyway.
They thought they were ripping me. Hah.
No one ever died from lack of sleepk, though they sure get dumb sometimes. I learned that first hand.
Good hearing from you John. We be good here.
Be safe.
