Bring on the cancer.

As if the stress of trying to find time off during the day to get things done isn't causin any cancer.

Worked nights and rotating shifts. No sleep and cocktails at 0600 are probably the real culprit.

Dead is dead and it is coming for everybody!

On the brighter side, Bob & Tom news this morning reported a study advising 40+ y.o. males should look at pictures of the chest area of the opposite sex for at least 10 minutes a day for a longer life expectancy.

I work at a nuke plant around radiation all the time so that cancels out the chance of getting cancer from working the night shift.....

thats stupid!! for all we know, were supposed to be working at night and sleep during the day. there are so many variables and ways to read the data that im not buying it! i wonder how many millions of dollars that study cost?

what was the point too? are they going to try to get night shift people hazard pay now, or just try to spook them enough that nobody will want to work that shift?

The last two years have been straight 5 eights. The 17 years before were rolling fours , 12 hour shifts. I miss it. Will I still get cancer?
