Topic: RE: It is early but...
Oh absolutely - I agree. The thing is, not too many people have the same situation where we eat sometimes out of the snack machine for dinner because it's too busy to get a real lunch or whatever the case may be. We all have crazy schedules and many of us don't prepare for our shifts well. So whether we've had surgery or not we all know how hard it can be to keep on the straight and narrow like some "normal" people can. So definitely, I do think that wls and dispatching create a unique situation where we can all relate to not eating scheduled meals. Some people just don't get that I won't be eating breakfast at 7am. You all know how it goes!!! Dina

Topic: Working conditions in your COMM center?
I was just curious, how the basics work in your comm center.. we are a small center (the largest number we have on at one time is 5 people and that is on 4-12, our busiest shift.(overnights is 3 people, days 4) We do not get breaks at all, eat here at our consoles.. we are allowed to walk across the hall to use the facilities as needed, but for the most part we are stuck in this windowless room (security reasons for having no windows,.. whatever) for 8 hours, sometimes 12 or even 16 straight.. it gets old sometimes. We work a 6 day on, 2 day off schedule.. sometimes that 6th day is a killer (many of us want to switch to 12 hour shifts, but the 4 senior people do not want it, and they seem to have final say) Do you all get breaks where you can leave the room and be free for a bit??? How long are your shifts? Are you in a large or small center? Can you tell on overnights, I have too much time on my hands haha (I haven't even started on the fact that we have been working for almost a year, 12-31 will be a year, without a contract.. are severely underpaid, surrounding counties make 3-5 dollars an hour more then we do... gotta love it!

Dinka Doo.. I would love to see even more of us posting, I know life gets busy sometimes. This is a great board because not only do we have weight loss in common, but the same job, so we can really relate! Brianna

We didn't get as much this year either. I was truly dreading it! But I didn't even go towards the cookie tin or peppermints that we did get. Sherri
