Mike_B Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 i know folks who work third and do drum corps. It can be done unless your days rotate. I was off Friday night, Saturday and went back to work Sunday night. Of course, you'd probably have to go right in to work after a looong bus trip....

CVQuesty Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 well my days switch out like crazy! one week i'll go in tuesday - friday, then saturday off, go in sunday and monday off tues and wed, go back in thurs and Fri, off sat then go in sun - wed and off thurs - mon... and thats how it switches out all every month! Wow.. My interviews almost always come around to the fact that they need to accomodate my drum corps habit. My agreement with them is that I will provide the summer schedule as soon as I receive it, and they will let me off for those days. My summer is usually completely scheduled with my management by March, and I make tweaks along the way to maximize efficiency. Granted, I work pretty hard to make sure there's no issues with my employment, but I just don't take jobs (regardless of who they're with) unless I can march.

Mike_B Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) THATS what I'm talkin about. You have to get your priorities straight! :) That would be tough to coordinate, KJAC18. Good luck. Edited August 6, 2007 by Mike_B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
