JagMagMan, I can truely say I am jealous!! I too work swing shift, I work a 2-2-3 12 hours and switch every two weeks from days to nights. I work in the blown plastics industry and we never stop, only shut down twice for christmas in the ten years I have been their. My goal is to get into maint. someday and I have been taking classes but I just have to wait and hope. From one shifter to another I am truely happy for you! Also what kinda work does your plant do, and what is your new job going to be doing?
