It’s 12.5 is only at work, but up 2 hours before work to get ready and drive in traffic and 45 min to get home….Wind down, another hour or so…the 12 hour days turn into 16 hour days!!!

We have old timers begging to be put back onto the 8 hour or 10 hour shifts, they wont do it. We have bone issues, more tired, more people calling in sick, more Work Comp cases!!

Be careful what you ask for, the long run is what counts. We all get older in this job!!!!
