I couldn't handle swing shifts. I think it would drive me crazy only seeing sunshine half the month. Lol

I started it when I was 19 years old.... when the night life was cool, LOL. Now I'm just an old fart that wants to see his kids grow up.

Oh, yeah.... I'm in good shape there, thankfully. I guess I should be grateful I am wanted, eh? LOL

EDIT: On another note, I really suspect my neighbor is poisoning my dog. Is there any way you guys know of proving that? He has already threatened to kill her.
Imho- a person who purposely poisons an animal to a slow agonizing death deserves the same treatment- that said- keep your dog away from your neighbor- seclude his waste area to the other side of the house- be watchful for "treats" being lobbed into your yard- i know its a inconvenience, but you may have to accompany your pet while hes out.
A vet may be able to determine any poisoning by doing a blood test- but, even if the vet finds evidence, you have to prove your neighbor is doing it-
Ttyl, White- gotta run for a bit.

Get a cheap Chinese GoPro knockoff and hang it off her collar.

Agreed on the poisons. My ex always wanted to poison the squirrels in the attic. I told her if she wants them dead, get up there with an air rifle and make good, painless shots. Otherwise, they're just looking for somewhere warm to sleep and really aren't damaging *too* much (I checked - they have plenty of acorns around here, no need to chew everything up).

Having to go back to swing shift would suck, but it beats the alternative!-our shift workers here dont get a huge raise, but 2nd shift gets.32 and 3rd gets .56 more per hour in trick differential. - maybe something you could persuade your boss into(?)-
But if your salary- go for the huge raise!-lol !

I'm not salary.... I don't want to get taken advantage of, LOL. Our 2nd shift (swing) gets a 10% differential, and 3rd (graveyards) gets 15%. I'd need more than just that though.

Thats pretty decent trick differential- we're a union plant, so our wages are negotiated - so we cant inquire about raises until the contracts up- ( we didnt do so well this year, company claimed high insurance costs and raised our contribution about 50%!)
