Awesome. I get so bored and lonely playing at night but I sleep during the day so... yeah. Then I have to play catch up when I get on.

I've been working 3rd shift for 17 years straight. Longer than Nexx has had terrible taste in music.

Daaaamn! I’ve had 2 day jobs in the last 11 years. I feel better when I work 2nd shift but it’s so inconvenient for doing anything outside of work cuz you never feel like you have enough time before work and it’s too late for pretty much everything after work. I usually work 8pm-4am but it all depends where I’m assigned. Work a lot of 6pm-6 am shifts too. Doesn’t bother me a bit unless I’m driving home with the sun coming up or not in bed before the sun comes up.

And there is nothing worse than when you work night shift and then some asshat puts you on a random day shift. That makes me so mad cuz I’m supposed to be going to bed at 7 am not going to work at 7 am 😡 that crap messes me up for a couple weeks at a time.

Oh don't get me started! The crazy part is the boss thinks he's doing you a favor by letting you work "normal" hours for a day or two. It's not a treat asshole, it's a punishment!

Riiight! And then they be like overtime! Money! And I be like 😒🙄 how bout you just give me a raise instead of paying me time and a half, it would be mutually beneficial. I keep telling them I am not a person who is wooed by money. Cost of living is too high. why would I want to work myself to death for an unattainable goal?!?!

They also don’t take into account that our significant others/families work and function on normal people schedules so we rarely get to even lay eyes on them, much less do things. I went a whole week without seeing my girlfriend- who I live with and share a bed with- never laid eyes on her for a whole week cuz they had me ripping and running without a day off and she works daytime while I’m sleeping. That’s when I quit taking extra shifts.

I hear ya buddy! There have been several times where I feel like I haven't seen my kids all week.

I’ve never been into New Years and resolutions and all that crap but this year I made my resolution to not overwork myself- not taking any more extra shifts than I’m comfortable working. I ask myself, am I available? And is this gonna mess me up for a week or 2 if I pull this extra shift? I’ve always been a yes man. Super strong work ethic. My half ass is better than most people’s best just cuz I can’t not do whatever I’m supposed to be doing at work- not like that at home 😂. But also assertiveness has never been a strength of mine and that’s something I’ve been working hard to change about myself. Finally learned how to say no.

When i worked 10pm-2am or maybe 4am i would split my sleep. Half when i got back home and half right before going to work. Kept my day open.

I can’t do that. My body won’t function. 3-5 hours is when I’m in the rem stage of sleep. If someone wakes me up after 3 hours of sleep, even if I get all 8 hours I’ll be like a sleepy groggy drunk person all day.
