On day shifts, I have a partner that can cover the desk to allow a little longer break, but on nights and weekends, I’m the Lone Ranger. That part sucks, but the plus side is I have the best schedule known to man.

It’s funny how career paths change over time. The first half of my working life I spent in the woods, now I’m anchored to a desk all day (or night).


What kind of schedule makes that worth it?


Sounds similar to what I did before I retired....I worked 7 on 7 off with 26 weeks of vacation built in, along with another 4 weeks earned. Totally worth it.


Sounds a lot like my days in the Data Center world. I had an extra 80something days off a year that the standard schedule i worked prior to that. There are pros and cons to it, but goodness I hunted, fished and played golf more that ever in those 4 years.

The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.
