Mine doesn't print out ahead. I just know I rotate every 4 weeks. I am too tired right now to make a list but will soon.

That schedule looks insane. What do you do?

Matt I know your schedule somewhat first hand. Hard to complain when you see what you can make in a year depending on overtime. But working nights rotating weekends is tough, but rotating shifts is even harder. So what months are you shooting for? Basically anything not in yellow or do you want to catch a 3-4 day stretch like I get when I come off weekends?

Damn sounds like you got to be pretty smart for that. More power to you brother and I can imagine it is very limited market for jobs.

April, may, june (just gotta be back by the 19th for the better halfs b-day)

My long weekend would be ideal, but basically as long as I'm not on mids I'll most likely be there. Still far away and i can be somewhat flexible with 140 hrs vacation, but still gotta stash some aside for family stuff and hunting.

I'm a millwright and wish I would gotten into right out of high school. 4 year apprenticeship. Took 8 years to get into so still early enough in life to work 40+ years in the field. Lol. Sounds like a cool job. Lots of breweries here in milwaukee.
