Retired after 27+ years on the job and got a Monday through Friday job.&nbsp\\; I enjoy the weekends off but really used to enjoy the days off during the week occasionally.&nbsp\\; You need to find someone else with a weekday off to ride with when possible.&nbsp\\; Stay Safe!

Ride on....[sm=biker2.gif]

 

10 years on and only get everyother weekend off, we work 12 hour shifts, this allows for much time off, but usually the days off are crappy and the days on are great riding weather.&nbsp\\; I agree with the other comment that is why you have sick days... although its a little obvious when you come back tan or sun burnt.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Stay safe, and ride safe!&nbsp\\;

 

Fifteen years on the job.&nbsp\\; My first year on a harley after 30 odd years on sport bikes and all it has done is rain since I bought it January.&nbsp\\; I did manage to get up to Laconia, NH&nbsp\\;this year and now I have almost 2000 miles on it so far!

Be safe my brothers

 

After 16 years, you'd think you'd have some seniority to get a better shift. You're obviously suffering from PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome), which is especially difficult to handle during the summer months...hang in there...

 

Guys ,I have got 40 years in retail as a Meat Manager,so what did you say weekends were,again!

 

Different line of work, but I've worked rotating 12's for the pasts 15 years and rotating 8's for 13 years before that. On the 8's I got 1 weekend off a month (if I had no OT). On the 12's I work 2 and off 2 (again, unless I have OT). I miss riding on weekends, but what I miss most are my three boys activities. They're all in high school, so there's always something going. Adapt ... swap shifts, vacation days, sick days, etc.&nbsp\\;

 

They show up for double-spaces and greater-than symbols. E.g.:

Sentences separated by double-space.&nbsp\\; Sentences separated by double-space.
Sentences separated by single-space. Sentences separated by single-space.
Greater-than symbol below:
&gt\\;

Test for less-than symbol:
&lt\\;

Also, any dash (two hyphens together) cause the dash to disappear merging the two surrounding words:

I placed a dash hereto separate two parts of the sentence.

 

Also, all apostrophes double. I haven't figured a work-around for that one yet.

 

I WORK EVERY DAY BUT SUNDAY, AND GUESS WHAT I DO SUNDAYS....RIDE
&nbsp\\;
I TRY TO RIDE INTO WORK A FEW DAYS A WEEK TO. BUT IT RAINS EVERY DAMN DAY HERE IN JUNE JULY AND AUG

 

Thats why I retired after 21&nbsp\\;years of getting jerked around changing days off. Last minute tour changes so they dont have to pay OT&nbsp\\;and working every holiday instead of being with family/friends..
