    Per our contract we get 2 15 min breaks and a 30min lunch. Break times are 9:30 and 1:30. Lunch is at noon. But in the contractor world especially in line work this schedule is arbitrary. They are
    just guidelines to when to take a break. Can't always do them on time so we do em when we can. And if we must skip breaks we make up for it on the time sheets via magic pencils.

    We don't do set times. There will be a point in the day that's a natural break. Finished one bit and starting another. If we are up thhe mountain we aint coming down for a break. Once up an down is enough. ( we bring a thermos up with us. )
    IF IT WASN'T FOR BAD LUCK WE WOULD HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL. !
