June 21, 201610 yr Back when we used to frequently drive down I-75 to Florida, road work was always going on in Atlanta at night. Made sense to me with the lighter traffic.
June 21, 201610 yr Lights and overtime pay during budget cuts does not make a whole lot of sense I guess?

June 21, 201610 yr Author Lack of lights could be a problem but most likely there is a ton of overtime involved if working nights only. How could there be overtime if that is the only shift you work? Do factory workers get paid double because they work 3rd shift? I get paid a little more when I work 3rd shift, but not near the equavilent of overtime
June 21, 201610 yr Author I imagine working in the dark aren't the best conditions for construction....:idunno: They could light up #27 like a Christmas tree if they wanted too.

June 22, 201610 yr Just means you get to go home way early, right?! This place probably would be okay with that, but I'm not going to push it. They do me enough favors with allowing me to leave to work Reds Day games!
June 22, 201610 yr Author It was a lot better this morning, which means I got to work way early haha. I'll be going down to Newport Sunday morning, may drop a post on here asking you if there is traffic stopping construction on #27.
