We got our fireman home yesterday, he napped for an hour and a half, then off to the in-laws for the day. We were up late last night putting together tomorrow's presentation - the cubs have to provide "entertainment" for the rest of the company throughout the week. The green shift involved a live chicken. The blue shift has this interesting PowerPoint presentation that I put together for my husband. I feel like I am caught in a time warp - with some silly college boys. (Teachers don't do this! LOL) I hope the guys have fun with the silliness.
J is working today for one of the guys in his class and then has his shift tomorrow. After that he has his P.O. (Personal off day - allows the guys to NOT have overtime every month, essentially an equalizer for the 24 hour shifts) and asked if he should sign up for OT that day. Cubs can only work OT on their PO day until they have been in for 9 months. The new chief put this policy in when he took over and there is some disagreement with it. Mainly because the class from Feb of 2010 CAN work OT anytime they want and this recent class cannot, even though both groups are still in their cub year. I see the logic from the chief - allows the guys to get their feet wet and figure out the system, keeps guys who are too green from being taken advantage of, keeping the new guys from burning out, etc...still not popular with all the guys. Anyway, will have worked 5 of the last 7 days - UH - NO, you should not work. January 2nd is the Packers/Bears game - and he is not allowed to watch TV with the other guys - at all, yet. And January 3rd we all go back to school. The extra hand will be very much appreciated, as sleepyheads don't want to get moving. He agreed and I will have my hubby home for 5 days!! YEAH!
