I've worked night shift before... it sucked... but there are some + stores are ALWAYS open when your off.. no traffic... nice and piecefull at home (neighbors are at work)


though I did notice I slept less... because I'd see a pickup basketball game going on and would stop and play for 4 or 5 hrs... this was 6 years ago though... I love me some sleep now

yeah! and usually the workload is less... so there's more time to think of ways to pass the time... and with less people around... more places to execute said Ideas... we'd have pallet jack races... you face it back wards and put a foot on each side and turn the handle side to side and you'll pick up speed...

Pallet jack races kick ass, I ride those around the depot all the time.

I work swing shifts during plant outages, it sucks. I hate it, but I usually work that for a few weeks with no days off. I like working 4 10's the best.

My job is swing shift...

Work 7 days (0700 - 1900)
2 days off (mid week)
7 nights (1900-0700)
5 days off (including the w/e which means I only get every 3rd w/e off)
start over

It has its pluses and minuses.
