Crappy shifts

[snowcraig2.0]

Anyone else here work a crappy shift? I work 4pm to 6am Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights. I am hating life right now since I am going to miss the spring game tomorrow. Who else is in my boat?

We should all suffer such misfortune.

I worked third shift for about three years right out of college and loved it. No way was I getting on days right away and second shift is a complete social life killer. I had my weeks of not being able to sleep and then not being able to stay awake at work but I think everyone who works 3rd gets those at times. I didnt usually require much sleep so I'd always be up from 6pm Thursday night until 2-3am Saturday after going out Friday night....almost a three day weekend every week if you can stay up or survive off a small nap Friday morning. 3rd shift is great in the winter too when there isnt much to do outside and it always seems dark and gloomy.....summer is a different story though.

We refer to that as a lifestyle choice.

Do you have tuesday-friday off? That would be a dream schedule to me.

That sounds good besides the fact my wife/kid/friends have Saturday and Sunday off.

My first job out of college I got bumped around on the shifts a lot. I can sympathize man.

I used to work 7pm to 4am sunday-thursday. It feels like you are among the dead. You have to get beer the night before cause nothing is open till six, and you feel like a real lush when your in the bar at 7 every morning!

Believe me, you do not want to be here.

Believe me, you do not want to be here.

But it's always better on the other side.....

Exactly what I was thinking.

Always worked 3pm-11:00 or midnight, friday and saturday nights, on top of 30 hours at another job, but the friday saturday job at the restaurant killed my social life in high school for awhile but i was really reeling in some nice cash

My hours aren't too bad, but I do work 2.5 hours away from home. I only end up home for 9 days a month on average. That sucks. I used to do the overnight thing and I still don't think my body has adjusted in the years since I have been back on a "regular" shift. I can stay up later much easier than I can get up in the early AM, all because I worked 11pm - 7am for a year.
