The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) V

Just cracked open a Keith's Red Amber Ale and heading out to the garage. Good times I'm hoping for good weather so I can drive the Zleeper to work tonight.

I want to get in as maintenance electrician at Toyota in a few years once I qualify, just not sure I want to go on rotation
I was on rotation for the last 12 years. The day shift kills me. It's great to be finished work at 2:30pm but I don't get enough sleep. Afternoon shift is ok.

I like midnights. It's a steady shift, I have a decent routine, also get good sleep (nothing like having a bed to yourself)

On Friday morning I sleep for 4 hours then live like a regular person, eat/sleep at normal hours. Then Sunday afternoon I'll lay down while Mini GaleForce is napping (I'll get ~4hours, he gets 1.5-2). To to work Sunday evening, and my routine starts all over again.

The last time I did. Midnight shift was 4 years ago when Mrs.Force was pregnant. That way I was able to go to all the Doctor appointments with her. It worked out really well.

Good luck with Toyota. I have a bunch of friends and family that work there, Cambridge and Woodstock.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE having the bed to myself! sigh.

and hubby and I worked different shifts when our mini was a baby so she only had a sitter for the transitiion between our shifts, until she got old enough to go to the local college (they have a great preschool/daycare)...the kids participate in the early childhodd education curriculum with the college students...mini was well liked because she was outgoing.

Hope that didn't P-you off to much, but that's kinda awesome he couldn't help himself but see what the Z is all about. If that was his first time driving a Z it will be one of his best, it's gives you more then most people expect when the first get in one

I still remember my first.........sigh it had boost!
