At the power plant. I avg 600 hrs a year in overtime. We had guys with 1,300 plus hrs a year. We had 8 hr of over time built into our pay checks.

When I was working as a mechanic. All my tools was Snap-On. Then when I worked for Elliott and was traveling. My Snap-On tools became my shop tools. And I bought Craftsman as my traveling tools. If I broke a Snap-On tool. I had to wait until Tuesday to get it replaced at the shop. Can't do that on the road. That's why I used Craftsman. If I broke a Craftsman tool on the road. I just find a Sears. So I have 2 sets of tools now.

A Snap-On wrench will turn a rounded bolt where a Craftsman or other cheap wrench will not.

DO NOT use an impact gun on chrome MAC sockets unless you want shrapnel in your hand. They explode.

I figure the other tools in the garage can be used by the neanderthals that I let wrench in the garage.

I picked up SO 6 pc. wobble extension set and 12 pc. 6 point, 8-19mm socket set this morning.

Had a nice nap. Eye lids got heavy around 6pm. Got horizontal in my lazyboy, covered up with my blanket. Didn't hear a thing until 8. Feel pretty good.

I had a boss that turned out to be a good friend of mine. At the time I was working in Oakland, and he was working out of Long Beach. Every now and then, he would call me and ask how things were going that day. If I told him it was slow, nothing to do, he would tell me to just leave early, but be on the ball if I got a call. He would take the flak if we screwed up. Great boss. But you can bet that if he called any of us at 2 AM to be onsite or on a call, we were Johnny on the Spot.

Some years later, I transfer to socal. I think my previous boss had a talk with the new guy. Told him that whatever he needed done, we would get it done before he knew what happened....so long as he wasnt a d1ck to us. We used to have texas holdem tournaments in the office and since the new bosses office was right by the front door, and you couldnt see us behind the cubicle partitions, he would alert us with a code word to look busy if an important person, or user came in our office...so, it wasnt uncommon for our whole department to have 10 hours/wk/person of OT or a ton of after hours calls.
