I'm going to really miss some of my coworkers. We worked well as a team, joked around all day, and generally did whatever we could to make the work fun. If it could have been that way everyday I would have stayed longer.

But a couple of the other employees were getting to moody to work with. And the hours were tough. Lots of times leaving the shop at 5 AM, and getting back sixteen hours later. And on top of that we usually we had to work weekends, too. More than a few times I was head bobbing while driving to work, or home from.

Luckily the boss was extremely happy with me, said I blew his expectations away, and if I ever need a job I'm welcome back anytime.

I hear ya on the hours.... I'm a 15 on 6 off shift, and most of those 15 days are 16 hours, if not more. When I first started here there would be the occasional job that came up where we only worked 9 or 10 hours, which made me actually enjoy my job. But those don't happen anymore and it's hard to love getting 5 or 6 hours of sleep for 15 days straight.

Another thing that was getting to me was the commute. If road conditions were good it was about 45 minutes. By the time I did my paperwork and had a quick bite to eat I would only have time for two or three hours of sleep. That took a toll. Thanks God for four packs of Red Bull!

Say clpeller, you're a dealer for Extreme Off Road Lighting products right?

What's the quote on a new one? The windshield on my truck feels VERY cheap. I got a chip in it on my way back home on the QE2 from buying it! Only had 321kms on the odometer. Seems like if anything hits it its toast.

i've got a 2010 truck, it's split down the bottom from one side to the other, but only at the height of the wiperblades. so i'm not too angry about that one. it's the second one that's starting to worry me. it's just under eye height, two inches from driver side and then travels east 3 inches, and north for 4 inches.

so i think i'm gonna need a new one...
