Man ....., was it hard to focus on Traffic and Pedistrian Traffic towards the end.

Where at?

These road closures in Seattle are killing my weekends..520's closed...Aurora's closed...Greenwood Ave..can't travel from Bellevue to do anything without sitting in traffic!

They are really re-building Downtown Seattle right now ..., next the Space Needle...
Then Over on Aurora, they have Road Widenings...., Paving, and Lane Changes. Right now behind Century Link Field...., you got the calm before the storm with the Viaduct project...., wait until that kicks in for real.

I was in Kenmore ...
About 192nd and 73rd.

Lots of serious Hot Chicks there too.

Worked for a welding contractor in the late 80s that took on a "weekend" job of installing a new chain conveyor in a beef processing plant.I forgot the exact name of the line but it carried the half slabs of beef from the cooler onto the processing floor.We worked 18 hours the first day,went home got 4 hours sleep,then worked another 24 hours straight and finished it about 8:00 Monday morning.The workers start at 7:00 so that last hour was real madhouse.I was one of the walking dead after that job,luckily it was only a fifteen minute drive home.

I only did the job for about 1 1/2 years but I would get on a bus at 6am and arrive at work around 7:30am. (they drove us in, paid from when we got on the bus). Work the first shift in shipping/receiving until 3:30pm. Then I would start the second shift working on the floor (retail department store), toy department mostly. 3:30pm-11:00pm. Then I would start what was my original shift from 11:00pm until 7:30am. Back on the bus that was dropping off the new shift and hit home at 10:00am. 28 hour shifts Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday. 3 lunch breaks, 6 15 minute breaks and 3 hours paid while sitting on an air conditioned coach or mini bus driving in and going home. Great money, especially on the 3 day weeks, Thursday-Sunday off every other week, but talk about 18 months that flew by. Work sleep work sleep work sleep one day off and back to work. I actually liked it. You just couldn't do anything other than work and sleep during the 3 day weeks.

I used to fall asleep driving all the time when I was going to school full-time and working 10 hour shifts. Rumble strips have saved my life quite a few times.

The longest stretch I've worked is 32 hours straight, twice. It was from 7am to around 3pm the following day. It was getting the 600 CADD drawings done for a report at the 75% stage and 100% stage while I was out in California. I remember getting something to eat, going back to the hotel and then sleeping for 15 hours. I've also worked 19 straight days without a day off and worked 112 hours in a seven day week before.

[Gorn Captain]

When I was working two jobs, it was 16 hour days for three years.
An eight hour shift combined with a two hour commute (making 12 hours total), and I also had a mail order company, which took about four hours a day. I also organized a movie convention at that time.

That kind of finished me off.

Stagehand gig in college - Set up for Gloria Estefan's album release party by shutting down a stretch of Lincoln Rd in Miami, putting up multiple stages, light trusses, running electrics and mounting projection equipment/lighting on rooftops to bounce off of buildings. Whole thing was a little over 46 hours clock time with set-up, strike and load-out and we got 45 min meal breaks, 15 min every few hours between and one 2 1/2 hr break in the last third for the performance. It was a very good thing I was used to tying knots in the dark via muscle memory - we were all a little stupid by the end.
