NWI INGO General Post - Part 7

[actaeon277]

My relief called. Asked if I wanted to stay. Then as he hung up, he said he'd call from the parking lot if he made it in.
Should I be worried?

 

[chef larry]

My relief finally arrived. Now I'm home, and in 30 seconds will be in bed.

Have to return at 0500 though...

So if you are lucky you might get 6-7 hours sleep before returning to work?

Doesn't sound like he's got your back.

More than I've had the last two nights combined.

 

[actaeon277]

When I answered, he was suprised. Said he's tried to call before. I told him, "THAT'S BECAUSE I'VE BEEN OUTTA DA SHOP ALL DAY ANSWERING CALLS".
too much?

not enough!

Hey. Haven't heard from you for a while.

 

[actaeon277]

Oh, and it looks like I have a roommate a couple more days. I dont think moving is considered an emergency.

Dude it's gonna be Tuesday before you get outa there! And as far as the roommate situation...it IS an emergency in my eyes...I mean the sponge has been mooching off you for HOW LONG???? If I was as cold hearted as melensdad I would say to kick his butt out and to fend for himself in the cold.......

Invite him to build an igloo outside. From the sound of it that's about how much he deserves.

I feel for you I had to beg a guy to plow for me so I could get out and my relief could get in. People should be made to show up for shifts by now, its obviously not great out, but manageable im going to sleep for a long time....I wish you luck!

Well...they have shut the interstates down again as well as there is still a state of emergency for the entire county. I know I don't want to be driving and get pulled over and ticketed for being on the road...

 

[Bill B]

I don't think you need a medical background to think of that.

Apparantly, during one of my mini-naps, i must have dreamed someone told me my relief was coming in. Cause that was noon, and i'm still here.
So, if (IF) my midnight relief shows, I'll have a 32 hr shift. they're high if they think I'm coming in fo my next shift.

Can I follow you to the bank to pick up what you drop on the way? Let's see 8 hrs straight time, 8hrs ot, 16 hours double time, carry the one, 1.5....52 hours pay at union steelworkers rates? You can afford to keep the room mate another week....
purple where needed. Or not.

I94 is still open, Lake counties state of emergency is over.

 

[melensdad]

God, and the State of Indiana Dept of Transportation willing, I am heading to North Carolina tomorrow afternoon. If the roads are open then I am going. Not planning to drive through, just hoping to get about 1/2 way. Won't be leaving until late, don't expect travel times to be quick, not going to push my luck. If I am in North Carolina by NOON on Wednesday that would be just fine with me.

 

[melensdad]

I94 is still open, Lake counties state of emergency is over.

But I65 is still closed from Lake county to Lafayette SR26.

I'm not sure how they add it up. I seem to remember someone saying a 3rd consecutive shift is straight pay. Discourages what I'm doing. But I could be wrong.

That would suck. For us anything over 16 hours continuous is double time. Of course, on my position I have to be careful of comingled service with hours of duty. Basically at 12 hours I tell them to stick it and go home.

Got a link to this bill? Everything I've seen says the opposite.....

 

[Wild Deuce]

Got a link to this bill? Everything I've seen says the opposite.....

This link shows I65 closed and INDOT FB page says so as well. First link shows I94 open. This link shows Travel Warning over for Lake County.

Too bad you are not going to depart earlier. We could caravan as far as Indy in the morning (assuming I65 is reopened).
