Well as of 3 pm today I was asked if I can drive to Minnesota tomorrow to fix a broken down locomotive. So the electrician and myself are driving down. I have NO CLUE where in MN I am driving to, all I know is it is supposed to take 12 hours to drive there, maybe more.

Can anyone say OVERTIME, lol.

be sure and let us know where, we could get a group together with some duct tape.

OT? I hope so but in one of my previous jobs were got mileage for the driving, not paid by the hour sadly; so after learning the hard way (6hrs to NYC) it was "Buy me a plane ticket" from then on.

We are taking a company truck, possibly the brand new Dodge pickup with the Hemi in it. they give us a gas card too.

I'm trying to find out where, but I might not know till tomorrow when I get to work.

And anything over 8 hours a day is OT

That'* a good thing with a Dodge emblem on the front..lol. Everyone I know that has one is getting murdered with MPG.

DUCT TAPE!!!!!

Beware of the deer going at it on license plates

It sounds like your getting paid hourly then, thats awesome! Theres nothing like eaasy OT to bring a smile to your face. Best pasrt is.. you get it again for the drive home. LOL

Depending on how it works out, If we take all day ( 8 hours) to fix the locomotive, then we drive back Saturday and the entire trip back is OT, cause I am over my 40 hours for the week.

Looks like we are going somewhere close to Duluth, so that means it will be a 13 hour drive without stops, so maybe closer to 15, lol.


Well at least it'* not like driving to WCBF, well I did sleep most of that trip anyhow.

WOW - an extra 30-40hrs OT in the paycheck. CHA-CHING

Yes, the taxman likes it too. Anything after 44hrs in a work week and the taxman rubs his hands in a very evil fashion.

Have a good trip Mike!
