Wow! And here in America they are still facing a labor shortage. Perhaps more companies here should offer wi-fi with a Murphy bed and energy drink fountain.  |

Hey Larry  I remember, back when I had a day/night job; I was so tired, one graveyard shift, that I actually tried wedging myself in a upright locker to take a nap. Despite my debilitating fatigue, I worked forty five minutes removing the shelves and installing sufficient padding. When I had the locker all set to enter, paranoia set in and I ended up scratching the idea, installing all the shelving and walking around the area, like some zombie, until it was time to go home. Of course, there was a major pile up on the highway and traffic stalled, I fell asleep at the wheel and woke to the sound of car horns and threats of violence from the motorists behind me. "When it rains; it pours."   |

Lol! I once took a job working overnight at a grocery store chain when I first moved toAZ. It was an ok job, had little to no supervisors around and most employees were left to their own devices. I was assigned to work in the frozen food section as nobody else really wanted to. My first night I set out to do a really good job! Really! By the time my shift was almost over, I had to keep slapping myself to stay awake as I just about fell asleep standing up. |

Hey Larry I hear you, brother. The stuff we average Americans did, to make ends meet. I only actually got fired off of one job. I was a cook/deckhand on a boat that delivered supplies to oil drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. It was one of those jobs where I had to polish brass, swab the galley, cook food and wash dishes. If "they" needed me to transfer cargo, or clean up above decks; then I had to do that, too. I worked 7 days on and then was off for seven days. Wasn't too bad. I was on the water and although I was always busy, but I was young and making $35 whole dollars, a day. THEN, the last day of my tour, I was all psyched up to catch a chopper back to the mainland. You know, have a little drink, blow a little money....The captain informs me that the guy who was set to relive me called in and said that he couldn't make it. UGH! So I asked the captain what that meant for me, and he says, "Well, looks like you are stuck to work his seven days, then work your own seven days and if your relief still doesn't show up; then you'll have to work his seven days and then work your own seven days, etc. etc. "So what your telling me is I may never get off this boat, again," to which he replied, "Well, yes, that's about right." UGH! Any way, I ended up staying on that boat for 35 days, straight. Then we headed back to the mainland and docked to get fuel. I abandoned the ship and was never seen, or heard of, again. |

Hey Larry Oh, and when I could not be found, "they" sent a cable to my "last know address" and informed me that I was terminated. |

Wow Kronk! How could you possibly leave such a good job that was willing to allow you to work yourself to death? “ Shanghai “ in the modern world. |
