Thats what comes with being a union carpenter, no sick days, no vacation, no tools, some travel but your probably not travelling far enough to get it and the expense paid out for making the rate at a job that is a major pia to get to and from.
Thats why I left the electrical const business and went to public school work. ( btw it's a 61 mile round trip to the office for me ea. day and the X-terra is doing about 24 miles per gallon hiway, which the ride is all of except maybe 15 miles. Gas over on the mainland side is cheaper and they give me 350.00 ea 1/4 for fuel expense.
Except for the rapid mileage buildup on the truck I cannot complain too badly.
Hope it gets better for you Eddy, sounds like you need a fish fix.
