To be fair, we've been tops in teen pregnancy for a while...

WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!

I, uh, guess that wasn't as Anonymously Coward as I thought. =X

I dunno about you, but as a person with a gastrointestinal disease I could really use a "nuke from orbit" button on my toilet some days. :/

I had a 9/80 for about 3 years when I worked for Lockheed-Martin. When I came on, we were a three man team, which eventually grew to four.

The week was split into alternating weeks, A and B. Group A had the Friday on Week A off and Group B had the Friday on Week B off. Since I was new, I was on the same schedule as the team lead so he could show me the ropes and the other guy could cover the facility on our down Fridays.

When we grew to a four person team, I was shifted to Week A and the new girl was put on Week B with the Team Lead. This way, every Friday was covered with two people and other weekdays had four total.

This eventually gave way to the Team Lead taking his position part-time and we lost a team member to medical reasons. I stayed on Week A, The Girl took Week B and Team Lead was working 20 hours on a MWF schedule.

Ridiculously complicated but we set up rules and made the schedules available to the customer so they knew who to call on which weekends. If you had the Friday off, then you weren't on call that weekend. The three years I worked that schedule, I was probably called in 3 times on my off weekends. The only deviance from this schedule was after Hurricane Katrina when FEMA/MEMA took over our facility as their headquarters for two months.

I do miss the 9/80 schedule, but my current schedule is so flexible that I could recreate it if necessary.
