Plural of crisis is crises

[Darthomas]

Idiotic schedule..6pm to 6 am. Keep 9 38 inch wide web presses running. 6 bindery stitcher lines. Huge gas burner control systems to F up ( all different) Multiple finishing systems...The giant big main Oxidizer on the side of the building..big as two houses... Pulling IT wire alone at midnight across offices Fer someone's handy printer...but he's the OWNER, who contacted ME directly first abt this job..
Climbing alone on the roof at night to reset chiller units...Siemens drives to fix whenever... ridiculous diagnosis of whether issues are mechanical, electrical, electronic, analog, digital, timing, air pressure, water in the air , snot in actuator valves, burned out coils, bad operator input confusing the machine, and on and on ...and on..
Pulling 3 aught alone.
Working on **** live, because that's how heart surgeons do it.
Been around the world many many and never really cracked a Hunnert K.

Divorce...AND layoff in same month last April.
Sold off house in Aug and ex stole 44k$-ish.
I can't comply with the divorce decree (to pay off debts and and dissolve mutual accts) ( I was the executor of my father's estate).... because she appropriated it while I was working exactly like a mule....as previously described.

Now my schedule changes..and think about doing this.. working 6pm to 6 AM....
two days on, then two days off, then three days on, then two days off, then two days on, then three days off.
Trying to spend your awareness back-n-forth between days and nights is awful...and two by two by two by three, this living death's what's killing me..
I can no longer tell what anything or time should be.
This goofy schedule Fs up pay such that one week is semi- flush, the other is nothing..
Lissen' just how much nothing....
This was a nothing week..
Calculate the percentage of 425/427.08.
It like 99.51%...

My paycheck for this week was $2.08.

And this is my son's birthday , and I can buy him nothing.

Excellent job, family court system.

And this is same printing industry that would drive me into ruin?
Should I wait around for the owner on Monday morning and have a heart to heart, or just slave away as I've done since '88?

Or grab onto the 480v three phase at some convenient hour tomorrow night?

Awful thoughts, but no more awful than what I've been living with.

Going to the owner on Monday morning and explaining my value to the company sounds like a lot better deal than letting a a 10 year spouse fueled panic drive me into an "accident" to escape bankruptcy or
Integrity-ruptcy.

So I don't ask for prayers much, but any influence you can send into whatever meaningful intent system you have,
I am need if your support.

And I apologize for having my crisis here, but this is one of the the very few places in my life I've ever felt true fraternity, and my only social circle now.
A world of work isolates a man more than solitary confinement, and midnight work with no help at all is a special hell.

Real proud of this...

You've been dealt a bunch of lemons for sure. But hang in there and you will eventually come out the other end into a better life/world. I promise!

First let me say I totally agree with you on the family court system! I left my wife in 2000 during dinner with our four children with us. Two were ours, two were from her previous marriage. The older girls are mine in heart and their hearts. I left for numerous reasons, trying to stay for the kids just wasn't an option anymore. I don't know why she changed,we were together 11 years total. I'm gonna shorten this story for space. After I left and she realized I wasn't coming back to her ( I did stop by and see the kids everyday) her attitude got worse. I was trying to be the best I could be, paying all the bills, ( she didn't work ) taking the kids, etc.. After I found pot ( that was hers ) in the house on a Saturday, I called the cops. To shortin this I'm cutting to the chase. By Monday I was charged with child abuse, 2 felony, 2 misdemeanor charges. I was never in jail but I didn't see my kids for 9 months ( restraining order ) which was supposed to be 2 years. I was facing 28 years in prison on her, her mothers ( ex cop ) her sisters ( dispatcher ) and the sisters husband ( also ex cop ). After $50,000 and 1 year I beat it. They did NOTHING to her on the false charges, the pot which was a Baggie full was turned into a ticket for her, couldn't tarnish the star witness my attorneys said. It took 20 months to get rid of the bitch. It was worth it, I have my 4 kids still in my life, they know what their mother did. I'm closer to all 4 then she will ever be! Let me tell you MONEY is nothing compared to what I went through. It actually caused my fathers death, he couldn't comprehend the fact I might go to prison on false charges. He was hospitalized more times than I can count and passed away in the hospital with my mom and sisters in the room from a heart attack. That's my story sir, I'm not ashamed, disgraced, or in anyway downplaying your situation. PLEASE REALIZE LIFE IS TOO SHORT! YOU DONT DESERVE WHAT YOURE GOING THROUGH, DONT LET HER WIN!! YOU REMEMBER WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE, YOU KEEP YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT,YOUR CHEST OUT, AND KEEP LIVING! If for anything, JUST TO PISS HER OFF!! That's all I can say sir. YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!

Have you thought about relocating for a better life style or opportunity? Careerbuilder.com?
You sound intelligent enough to make it, ya just have to find someone that will give ya the chance to make it.
Moving sucks! But $2.08 sucks more.
How does OSHA allow you/company to do that type of work alone?
Stay positive, hoping for good things to come your way.

Your situation is not uncommon. Sometimes people feel their problem is isolated to themselves. Life serves what seem insurmountable obstacles to many of us. Years ago, I personally went through a bad business breakup with my partner which dealt me severe financial burdens. It feels like you're at the bottom of a ditch, with no way to dig out. But you can... and you do. And later on, you look back, and realize all the wonderful things that you've experienced since that time. And you're glad... very glad... that you toughed it out. Hang in there... grind it out. It may not be easy, but you'll come through. You will.

Back to work in just over an hour.
I hope today is crazy-problems , and the 12 goes by fast.
Already@work, not on the clock, putting new soles on my work boots myself, to have new soles for only the $20 Otto sold me the leather blanks for...
While the FSA has Lobster for dinner.

I have been there also. 20 years ago my then wife of ten years turned up pregnant with someone elses baby. I could not even get a divorce until the baby was born and I could prove it was not mine. All I was left with was a 20 year old truck and my guns and fishing tackle. It turned out she had been sleeping with my best friend for four years and I was to trusting to see it. I married a vary independent woman the next time and its been a good thing ever since. Look to the future and things will turn out lots better. Good luck.

hope the best friend only has two "legs" now
