This is just my winge at having to rudely interrupt what was a Great weekend (well the saturday is all I got) Friday night at the pub, Sleep in then taking the Buggy in Blacksmiths Beach on Saturday and then saw Sahara at the movies... Few good Dunes in that mind you. So what was shaping up to be an even more tops Sunday was THWARTED bu the relisation I have a shift at 6am.. Grrr
Ahh Im just grumpy cuz I got too little sleep..
But I think to make we should lead a revolution No work befor 11am on Sundays and on days later in the week we should all be able to have a Siesta.. How tops would that be, a little Thursday or friday arvo SNOOOOOZE.. Have I gone to far..
So waddia think, Hi to all those shift workers out there and to anyone who started earlyer than me YOUR MAD...
Enjoy your Sunday Ya All..

i do alternating saturdays/sundays every fortnight.
when i work saturdays, its hell. i finish work on friday night at 11pm, get home around 12:30, and have to be up at 5:30 to leave at 6... be there by 7.
8 hours between shifts... highly illegal, but my bosses dont seem to care and ive been doing it for 4 years 🙁

And what do you lads and ladys do to get you up so early in the morn like me..??

I work wed, thurs, fri, sat and sun all midnight till 6am. I would rather be working during the day, as now i miss most of the day as i'm in bed. Only one way to buy those goodies for the beetle and thats put up with it. Its worth it. 😉

I schedule the coal,woodchip,calcite,magnesite,container and fuel ships into the Port of Gladstone
Pretty full on
Kinda like being an air traffic controller

Hey that is cool..
You could Race them on your raydar... Take bets..

It would be more fun if they moved a little faster 10 knots is not exactly enough to ski behind !!!!!

But sometimes their arrival is literally seconds apart and when a coal ship has to wait it can cost the shipper ( owner of the coal) US$10,000.00 a day
Big bikkies and I am in control of some of it !

nope, no nice things like water testing here... its all to do with diseased skanky human bits, very morbid but extremely interesting.
Marineboy ·
Yes it would be...

Well if your in Sydney exspect a Visit from Renae Rivkin soon, He may not say much though..
