Writer's Block: What a Way to Make a Living

[christopher575]

[Error: unknown template qotd]12-hour graveyard shifts (6:45pm-6:45am) four nights one week, three nights the next, working on a production line building ceramic filters for cell phones, while also taking college courses. Especially when they would spring a day of mandatory overtime on me on the middle day of my three-day weekend.

I was so happy when I called in sick because I hadn't slept for two days and wouldn't have another chance to sleep for another two unless I took the night off, and they told me I would be fired if I didn't come in. I said that was fine by me and never went back.

Dang! Jobs like that really take advantage of poor college students who need the money.

Wow, that's got to be one of the shittier graveyard jobs I've heard of. What a sweatshop
