Evening all. I'll stir the coals for the night owls.
I've been working non-stop since last Wednesday, overtime, weekends, everything. Today was my first full day off. Yesterday was supposed to be off, but I got called in at 0900 for a Union conference. Six hours later, and we'd covered all 45 articles of the Union-USFS master agreement.
We've had thunder/lightening/rail/hail/sn*w all week. Yes, the "S-word" happened up in the alps. All of the lookouts have been working max legal hours. And then some. As in, we're allowed 80 hours in any 7 day period, and yesterday made 107 hours for me. They can get away with it because we were in "Lightening Plan." Whatever.
My pay check got stuck in red tape for a week, but that came through today so I went to do some grocery shopping in the city. Managed to pick up 100 rounds of 22, so it was a good trip.
