Three 12s? Do you work in healthcare? That probably won't be too bad. Maybe a bit of slowdown around Pike, Waltham and route 2 in the AM. Evening should be fine.

Good luck getting the job!

Thanks, and yes, I'm an RN. The traffic is my only reservation at this point. The management and coworkers I've met seem pretty nice and relatively easy to get along with.

That's the schedule I'd want. 128 is a shit show most mornings by 6:30 and the again by 2:30.

The shift saves the job. I wouldn't do it any later ! As long as I leave by 230 I'm ok. Still sucks... But I'm up early which helps on the weekends for skiing !

I'm assuming Lahey? Nice facility. I've got some friends who work at Beverly and Addison who really enjoy it.

I hopefully will be starting a new job in Burlington with a 730 start, travelling north from the Providence area. At least it's 3-12s and I won't be leaving to head home until 8PM

Congrats on the new job ! Those hours are going to be good ! Certainly leaving at 8 and damn a 3 day week is awesome. Good playtime in the winter !

Thanks guys, need to finalize the comp package so it still could go south if the $$ isn't what I want it to be but the manager has called me every other day asking if I'm interested. I keep telling he to get in touch with Comp to make the offer and they are giving her the runaround. DHS yes Lahey.

I am hopeful for a snowy season and will be able to put some good miles on my peak pass with the available days off.

Tonight's selection is Fort Point Pale. Equally if not more impressive than the IPA I tried last night.

Otter Creek Fresh Slice White IPA. Really enjoying the stuff coming out of Otter Creek with Brew master Mike. They sell mix 12 packs, so its great to mix it up from the standard IPAs.

Future Glow from Burlington Beer Co - a beer that's only 3.9% ABV just really shouldn't be allowed to have this much crisp, hoppy flavor!!! Burlington Beer Co describes it as a American Table Beer. It works very well for my palate for sure!

I'd buy a case of this for a summer session beer, if the store in VT still had any left when I went back yesterday to buy more than the original 4 pack I got!

Proclamation Derivative Mosaic - fantastic crushable flavor, session light on the tongue with a 6% ABV. Had it at Chomp Kitchen in Warren RI. Great burgers and always amazing craft tap/bottle/can selections

Stopped by a friend's earlier today. He had just got back from Hill Farmstead. Been awhile since I had their double citra. Amazing. Also was informed lines aren't really an issue anymore with the brewery expansion. I'll need to pop over next time I'm up in Northern VT.

Have a couple new flavors to try this weekend at the Jazz Festival in Saratoga.

Awake is very good. Not a 4-5 at a time but good.

Trailblazer and Pioneer's America IPA are both very solid brews, that show that CT can brew some beer like some other states to the North that share some shoreline with the CT river!

Trailblazer, or at least the last batch from a few weeks ago, is very much a New England style "juice bomb" IPA that to my taste buds is very close to Treehouse's Julius. There American style IPA is a very good West Coast style IPA with more of a distinct resiny backbone.

I've been quite impressed with all the 3 offerings that Pioneer is currently brewing, and look forward to them opening up their own brewery (they're currently using the Shebeen Brewery in Wolcott for their brewing location) in South Windsor hopefully later this year! :beer:

Pioneer had a great showing at the Trailblazer release yesterday. They started with 150 cases at noon, I grabbed my 19 cans (max limit) at around 1:30 and it looked like they would be pretty close to selling out by 3pm. Line was at least 75 deep at the opening bell.

I have the Lord Hobo Session IPA at home. Good- strong grapefruit nose at the start, but it mellows out nice.

Trillium/Evil Twin collaboration Trillikini, 3.3% session IPA. Real nice. I'd compare it to Night Shift Whirlpool, I think it may be better actually. Tons if hop flavor for such a low abv.

Where'd you buy it? I've heard good things

The Fort Point brewery. Grabbed 2 4 packs. Ran into a friend and gave him a few so I am down to 4 myself now. Wish I bought a whole case.

Wonder if they'll have any in Canton next week. I might be down that way. Does Trillium can often? All they had was Bombers and Growler fills the one time I made it to Canton a few weeks ago
