I'm Tired Now

[dseale4888]

I've just figured out my hours for the past 2 weeks. I get to work the snow storms every winter which gives me my 55 parts money. For the past 2 weeks I worked 56 straight time hours, 53 hours at time and a half, and 21 hours of double time. It is a killer when you go over 24 hours straight in a storm. A few times this week I got home and spent about 4 hours here before getting called back in for work again. I felt as though I was just getting to visit at home between work times.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

You must be exhausted. A friend of mine and his wife both worked the snow storms, until they had a kid then she scaled back. When the snow fell they worked, but they made a good bit of dough doing it.

Hope you get to relax and enjoy the family for the holidays, Dave. Merry Christmas!

Dave the extra money is nice but sounds like the hours are killer. Take some time to enjoy the Christmas holiday.

Sounds like you have a double edged sword there. Some extra cash but a lot of work to get it.

Come to SE Texas when you need a winter off. It's been in the 70s the last 3 days, and for the most part dry, low humidity, clear skies, and not too much wind. It's going to cool off for a few days now, hopefully we'll have 2-3 more days like it before New Year's.

Rick, The fellow I replaced at the DPW retired and he heads south every winter. He is down in Texas on the south eastern coast. I think it is in the area of Brownsville. I'm 58 now and hope to retire by the time I hit 66. I've got to be there 10 years before I'm vested. After 15 years I'll get 37% for retirement with what I'll get from social security. I have 2 apartments I rent out and the mortgage will be paid off just before I hit 66.
