Working sucks

Well, I just found out today that they will be doing away with 2nd shift at my place of employment. They probably think they’re going to save money, but I don’t think we have the equipment or manpower to get it all done in two 8 hour shifts. If you run the numbers, it looks like we should be able to do it, but with our high turnover rate, I don’t think we can hit the numbers they are expecting. My prediction is that we will be running two 12 hour shifts for the foreseeable future which is nice on the wallet, but terrible for my sanity. There is one benefit though, I should have a backup for my job once they consolidate the shifts, so I might actually get to take a day off for the first time this year.
