I worked a lot of 12 hour shifts, 7-7 or 3-3. Back then we took a bunch of Yellow Jackets. But then they stopped making Yellow Jackets so then we took a bunch of Ripped Fuel from GNC.

We got put on indefinite 12s for about 4 months one time. 12 hour shifts every day, 1 day off every 2 weeks and you had to call an hour prior to your start time on your day off to see if they needed you. You know, like if someone called in sick. So of course on your day off, you wound up working anyway. Driving a forklift and loading tractor trailers by hand for Frito Lay. I hate that company. Love their chips. But I've been putting off shoulder surgery for 20 years now from working there.

They were kind of bastards to do construction work for too.

I've heard they are better now but when I worked for them from 1993-2000, they were hell. 1 minute up to 4 hours late counted the same so if you overslept, wasn't any need to rush. If you remember the kid who got killed on 247 in 1997, I worked with him. Tears me up a bit still. He was running late so he jumped on his motorcycle to try and not be late bc of that policy. Cost him his life. His wife was cheating on him and was an owl shift 911 dispatcher...she came home late bc of that and he couldn't leave for work by he was watching the baby until she came home.
