Graveyard shift.

britishbandit · 01-29-2007, 07:56 PM

I just recently put a transfer in at work for midnights. After a layoff after Christmas, the company was forced to switch people up a bit for a few weeks. I found midnights to be so much better for me (was on days/afternoons swing every 2 weeks). I sleep better, feel better at work, have my days free (yay, now I can do classes with the dogs), it's much more of a relaxed atmosphere, the people are nicer (not sure why..haha), and of course can't forget about that shift premium.

I know it isn't everyones cuppa tea, but who else works mids and loves it!

I know you work nights Crossfire, do you like it too?

Good if works for you.

My younger son (25) loves that shift. He works at one of the hospitals on the weekend, keeping the operating suites stocked with surgical instruments.

From Friday to Sunday he works a full week's work (16 hours per day), then has the rest of the week to do what he wants.

I don't think I could do it simply because I'm more of a morning person but I'd love to have the days free to do whatever I want so maybe I could get used to it if I had to!!

Wow! And I thought 8.5 hours was a lot!

In my current job there is no opportunity to work late. If there was, I don't know how well I'd cope. I get very bored during the day (when I'm not working), and at night I love to relax and wind down (and often feel overly tired).

My hubby worked a swing shift & his schedule changed weekly. He absolutely hated days. Midnights was his favorite and he didn't mind afternoons.
