    It’s been at least 20 for me. Doesn’t look as if much has changed. I think it was still a 76 back then

    Was down the street picking up something for the g/f. Just stopped in to use the bathroom and grab an iced tea.

    Been forever since I was in the place. I remembered it being a total dump, but its been redone from what I remember and wasn't bad at all. The coffee shop looked way different from what I remember it being also. If I didn't have dinner plans with a friend from out of town tonight I would have sat down and checked it out.

    15 bucks to park for 24 hours, which I thought wasn't bad considering proximity to Chicago. Forgot to ask about the shower prices.

    End of day 5 today and got 6.5 hours today with 46.5 hours for the week ...this works well for me and in fact it's perfect.
    My days off are Sunday and Monday.
    The utility driver position at hill bros is perfect for someone that likes to start about 9am and doesent care if they max out the clock or goes home at 8 hours ...you will be home every night .
    I need 40 to 50 hours a week so it works well for me ...but if you are are 70 hour person or need predictability on when you will end your day and be home this position isn't for you and especially if you arnt flexible.
    I'm happy here but it definitely isn't for everyone.

    I will add that those that get max hours here are probably those that want to start at 4 or 5 am and I'm probably getting the scraps .

    Schneider tried to force that crap down my throat a few years ago. I was 22 at the time and in great health. I’ve never had any sleeping problems.

    Said no thanks and turned in my two weeks notice. Since then i’ve never had a problem getting two year medical cards

    Anything east of 39 and south of Wisconsin is an armpit.

    . I will never understand old guys that want to max out hours. The few that I have worked with all had health issues working themselves into a grave to make boat and camper payments that they didn’t have time to use.
