Yeah it is a bit crazy,
I'm a pump station operator, operating 8 stations for 3 different communities, we have 6 operators, 2 on sick leave, one on vacation no problem until it rains, which is going to be
( according to forecasters ) fri. & sat. and then I'll have to deal with the residual effects on Sunday.
Don't get me wrong this job has rewarded me with a good life style but after 20 yrs it gets a little old

I've been in your shoes quite a few times. When at the power plant. Did a lot of 16hr days, back to back. 112 hours in 1 week.

Now I'm laying on the porch to speak of .

The first one is the worst because I'm up over 27 hrs. And that just throws the whole system out of wack
But 112 hrs in a week, it takes a lot to bounce back from that!
I salute you my friend!

When we was building the power plant in 2002. I did alot of those shifts. Keeping the construction crews in line. Any thing over 40 was OT. 72 hrs of OT per was some NICE pay checks. At that time. I was making about 30 bucks an hour. About $4440 a week. After construction. We went to a 12 hr shift. 6:30 to 6:30. One month of days, one month of nights. The shift was a 5 and 2. 5 days on, 5 days off, 2 day on, 2 days off. One week you would get 48 hrs, the following week would be 36 hrs. 8 hrs of OT built into your pay check.

The way my schedule was. Off every Monday and Tuesday. Work every Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Every other week. Worked those days, the following week would be off. So every other weekend would be a 5 day weekend.

If I took off Wednesday and Thursday off. I would have 7 days off and only use 24 hrs of vacation time.

And I walked away from that job. $150,000 plus a year.
