second shift jobs

[abodyjoe]

i am steady days now ... kind of hate it now ... becuase i always have to take days off to accomplish things out side of work...

lol.. when i was in training for my present job about 10 years ago they had me on 7am to 3:30pm shift 5 days a week. oh man i hated it. went nuts working those hours. felt so rushed to get things done on sat and sun. i love my days off during the week.

Been working 3pm-11pm 4 on 3 off, for several years, love it. Not a morning person and I get a lot done during the week when "normal" people are working. Before that I was working 12's 6-6 both days and mids, 4 on 4 off. I was commuting from TN to FL on off days. Time off was great but 12 hr mids sux'd

I never quite understood what's up with the rotating shifts thing. It seems like your body needs to get used to working a particular shift as far as sleep patterns go......it's almost inhuman, like sleep deprivation.

When I had to work graveyard, I hated it with a passion.......I'd come home and no matter what time I slept, morning or afternoon, I was mindless! I mean, if I went to the store and bought something, I couldn't even count my change!! Others @ my work have been on graveyard for over 25 years.

I like rotating ALOT more then straight nights
we switch back and forth each rotation,,you never get used to anything..lol
this weekend im sat,sun,mon days off 2 days
thurs, fri nights
like I said before, nights and weekends are peaceful
plus Sun. is double time
When you work at night,you just get the mindset that after a couple nights its over...
then back to days...

I worked for an electric company in south Texas foir three years in the late 80s, 1:00 to 9:30 at night. Then I went to work for Delta Air Lines and worked 3:00 to 11:30 p.m. for the first five years, then worked midnight till 8:00 a.m. for four years before finally making it to day shift. I stayed on days until I furloughed out in 2004.

So from 1987 till 2000, all I saw was either evening or midnight shift.

When your young you can out and party after work...sleep late....
