Two Finger posted:that's so loving dumb i don't even know wtf That was out on some piece of poo poo little COP while we were undermanned and constantly getting attacked. We did that for two days, rotated to QRF for two days, and then rotated to missions for two days, then went back to the super poo poo guard shifts. Another platoon was doing 6/4 for a bit so all things considered it wasn't too bad.

When I was working my first mine job (12/12 hours on a 14/7 day roster) I read that the best way to manage fatigue in that sort of undermanned 24-hour situation was to start everyone on 2/2 for the first 12 hours and then start going 6/6 after that. I spent four months over winter in an underground mine doing 12/12+14/7 and basically didn't see the sun for two weeks at a time. You really start to feel stretched pretty thin towards the end of 14 days down. Also it was about 6°C every day up top, and 30+° underground, and loud enough the entire time that you feel it in your guts. Still, no one was shooting at anyone, so I had that going for me.

Add socialist healthcare (  ) and six weeks vacation and it wasn't so bad. It's when you get jobs like that where you're paying barely survival wages, have lovely safety practices and fire dudes for getting injured that they start to really suck. While I was there we hit a million man-hours worked without a single LTI.

A private dredge I worked on did a 4 on/8 off 8 on/ 4 off schedule. That was the bees knees. I slept 7 hours on my 8 off, worked out, laundry, a nap on the 4 off. On the 8 hour watch the captain would give a chow relief for dinner and breakfast so neither mate did longer that 6 at the helm before a break...

Well, my dad did it for a year or two when he was young and almost had his fingers ripped off going on one of those tiny little mine carts going through a shaft barely tall enough for you to lay down in. gently caress that poo poo I'd never want to work in a coal mine in the US.

Add socialist healthcare ( My radcon math suggests that's around 25$ American an hour to work in a hellish pit where you could die. Sounds like a peach. I used to make around the same delivering sushi or pizza from the comfort of my car, though I'm not sure who was at greater risk for death between the two.

It actually worked out to be around 28/hr, but I was living on site and had exactly zero expenses. Plus it was a means to an end, and now I work a lot less hours for a lot more pay. I mean, if we're going to bitch about jobs that could kill you and didn't pay much, this might not be the right thread, but it sure is the right forum.

Minimum adult wage is something like $17.70 an hour according to Fairwork Australia, and casual rates are higher again (as they trade certain working conditions for a higher hourly rate). I don't think that includes mandatory employer contributions to superannuation either. Cost of living is quite high in most parts of Australia though.

That was my average hourly after tips, though I wasn't getting a gas per diem or anything and was using my own car. Working for decent pizza or sushi delivery places can be pretty lucrative Though to be fair I worked 4 nights a week, typically on big delivery days.

Sitting in the VA approaching my fourth hour. Random dude walking around in a grey, wrinkled, silk suit with a red shirt. Over this he is wearing a floor length coat made of animal with his Air Force rank proudly displayed on the furry epaulets. Should have chosen the Air Force I guess.
