amazing. succinct. articulate.

Ha! It's true. I'm on permanent nights. I don't even get as far as that guy in the video. They asked what happened last night and I just go, "Read the log." If you want me to tell you what happened, come in earlier. I know you start at 06:30:00, but there's no reason you have to come in everyday at 06:29:55.

Another one for the shift workers...

That is mean to us graveyard guys...... funny, but mean.

Room 101: Doin' OK

Then reads on to Room 120, same report for each patient. Report done. Go home.

I worked either days or graveyards while in the AF. I can tell you, you can get a lot of shit done at 3am without all the distraction of a days' activities. I will also say, trying to decipher the graveyard shift notes can be time consuming.

There's been many a day, I couldn't finish transition until 10am and sometimes later because of the chaos of pre-flight, startup, red-balls, and launch make the early hours of day shift absolutely crazy..

And also but, as soon as the day begins, the stupid wakes up too!

The year after I graduated high school, when I was 18 years old, I worked 3rd shift for about 10 months. I have never been so wrecked in my life.

I have often told me wife, if something happened to the job market, and the only job I could find would be on 3rd shift, then we would be hungry and homeless.

My body just does not adapt to being up at night.

I work mids so I get to see both sides. Night shift gets shit done, day shift gets a lot of shopping on Amazon done.

He He, nice.

Worked rotating shifts for about 20 years. The worst was the start Monday night at midnight. Tuesday midnight shift and home at 8am Weds . Back in at 4pm Wed night. Wed and Thurs 4 to midnight then back in Friday morning at 8am. By Friday afternoon you had no idea what month it was.

After years we finally forced them into a more reasonable schedule rotating between the day and afternoon tour. The night tour was a steady shift.

I used to see a lot of that.

The saying used to be day shift talks about what night shift actually does.

In Policing, Night shift is where all the things happen. Plus unless someone gets murdered-no brass around trying to fuck things up

Yep. Swing shift at the mill. 1/2!the people, twice the work, all the blame.

Biggest diffence I could see? All the shot callers were in bed.

There were 3 of us in our dept to cover production 24/7. Supervisor said they could not justify another person. One guy would only work days and had the seniority to back it up. Next guy instated on third shift. That left me (lowest seniority) with 2nd shift.

Supervisor rolled out the rotating shifts. Charts and all. We blasted him and one the most senior guy said he would quit... it was dropped but to retaliate he assigned the following... 5-8hr days then 2-12hr days (to cover for one guy off on the weekend) then 5-8hr days then 2-12hr (to cover for 2nd guy off on the weekend) then 5-8hr days then you got 2 days off. Yep 19 days on and two days off. Worked it for about 6 months. I loved the overtime pay but they finally gave in and hired another hand. Due to the lazy night shift guy laying out I worked 59 days straight once. Didn't bother me at the time. Won me a "Team Player of the Quarter" award, a nice coat and my own personalized parking spot near the door

When I was a medic (many, many, years ago) our shift pattern was structured in such a way there was ample opportunities for overtime.

The best(!) time was:

Finish nights (7 shifts) at 7am. Come back same day at 3pm. Finish 11pm (8hrs O/T). Come back next morning 7am. Finish 3pm (8hrs O/T). Come back 11pm that night. Finish 7am (8hrs O/T). Start later the same day, normal shift at 3pm.

24 hrs overtime in 2 days, plus 16 hours normal shift + whatever after shift O/T came along with late/long calls. In my 20s, it was cake, these days, I would be dead in days.
