Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted February 4, 2019 No, you dont. I looked it up. I never lie on here. I don't imbelish. Never. https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Pipefitter/Hourly_Rate/9f4ff278/Chicago-IL That isn't quite accurate because I make more than that an hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted February 4, 2019 If I am someone who lies or stretched the truth I wouldn't say I was 5'6. If you can't figure out how much a Chicago pipefitter makes then I over estimated your Detective skills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,455 Posted February 4, 2019 THE worst guard duty to pull in the military was 2 to 4 am.....you are pulled out of REM, and its pointless to try to get more sleep at 4AM....we used to call it the b!tch shift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted February 4, 2019 Theres laws against it Id imagine. There aren't any laws against how many hours in a day a company can pay someone. There are emergency situations where people get paid around the clock for days on end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What time would you go to sleep the night before? The last night shift where I was going 930 pm to 930 am was pretty horrible. It had been about a week and a half where I couldn't sleep during the day. They needed someone to literally sit there and watch some gauges, so they chose me. I fell asleep so many times for a second or two. It was miserable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted February 5, 2019 She's my gf, I am almost finalized with divorce Ooh ok. I guess it all depends on if you have kids (at least ones living with you) and if your gf lives with you. My wife works nights and it works out fine with us. But the salary you said you make I dont think I would trade away my lifestyle for only an extra $200 a week. Unless the night shift work is a lot easier I would still pass on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the night shift work is a lot easier I would still pass on it. The work is the same. I would be working 14 hours a shift no matter what, so pretty much no life either way. I turned it down because as bad as working that many hours is, its just that much rougher on nights. Some people love that shift, I usually avoid it like the plague.

I turned it down because as bad as working that many hours is, its just that much rougher on nights. Some people love that shift, I usually avoid it like the plague. That seems like a good idea. One thing that we see in construction sites or 24x7 jobs is that the guys on 2nd shift are less experienced, require more supervision and they have more accidents. If you were to be the foreman, you would want to take that into account as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
