Tailmon, I hope you get better soon but what the hell, 12 hour shifts?

I guess this means I can make fun of US labour laws even when I'm working in a developing country.

But seriously, can't you find a job somewhere that allows you to work as much as a normal person?

I'm pretty sure 12 hour shifts don't really help your sleeping pattern, either.


Kalivha, Being over 50 makes it nearly impossible to find a good paying job. I've been there nearly 4 years now. This is with the
State and it has a retirement pension and great health benefits. The School is abusing the employees to the point that they are
getting run down and then sick like I just did. I'm in the process of submitting a complaint to OSHA over the working conditions
and the random hours and the working other shifts. Not having consistent sleep is one of the worst things that
can happen to you.

Well, today I officially go back to work! After nearly two months the doctor gave me the go ahead to go back to work. Not without restrictions.
eight hours a day only. I can't work on the dorms I was on due to the mold I'm allergic to. I can only work my 10 pm to 6 am shift for 30 days.
No different shifts. I was supposed to be out till March 4th but with all the meds and doctors I'm broke. Going back to work is going to help
Top that off with the fact that my employer didn't help me with my short tearm disability or even suggest I apply for the sick pool that the company has. (seems only special people get informed of it) It took weeks to get the paperwork to me and then it was not all there. I got that off and solved 2 days before I was released for work. State agency's really suck at things.
