Yeah, that is true. I feel thankful I have a job, sometimes I get a lot of shifts in the week, sometimes I don't, being a casual and all. Sometimes I like days off though. All I seem to get lately is afternoon shifts from 3 or 4 onwards until night time. At the moment it's a bit monotonous doing the same hours all the time, and I just don't like having to do my exercise earlier in the day when it's boiling hot lol. I really want more money right now though.
Today is a lazy day

I hated it when I had the mornings off and had to go into work in the afternoons. Just give me the whole day to work.
I prefer early starts and finishing at around two or something. That way I can come home and relax and then exercise at five like I normally do. I hate having shifts that cover the middle of the day. Like last Tuesday they rang me up at 11 to see if I could work 12 to 5, huh, what a joke, there goes half my day. Not to mention I need at least an hour to get ready, and I need more time to walk to work even. And they rang me up when I was still in bed, they weren't very convincing to say the least.
I hated working the night shift at my old job, I was 16-17 years old then, I was at home when all my friends were in school and at work when all my friends were home, lol wouldn't be a big deal to me now as social life isn't really all that important to me at the moment but as a teenager that really sucked.
Yeah, that would suck. I stayed until the last year of high school, so I finished just before I turned 18, I had my job since a little before I turned 17. If I wasn't in school I suppose I wouldn't have cared if I had a night shift, I've pretty much been antisocial since I can remember
It's not a new job. Same one I've had for the past couple of years. I've just moved to night shift.
I work for a horse farm. I'll be doing night watch now during foaling season.I always liked the graveyard shift. Getting up at 7PM... going to work at 11P... getting off at 7AM... bed by noon.
I didn't see the sun for months and forgot what traffic was like.
Perfection.

:thumbup I start at 10pm but same difference.
Yea, I worked the night shift at my old job during the summer a few years back. My internal clock felt completely out of whack. I would go to bed at 4 in the morning and wake up at 3 in the afternoon. I never realized how much I took living in the day time for granted.
And once, the person who was supposed to relieve me didn't come in, so I had to stay for another shift. Craziness I tell ya.

yeah I was doing the same thing, I'd go to school and then go straight from school to work, it sucked. Then I got my GED and kept working the night shift until I got laid off, then they hired me back on the day shift which was much better. lol I've always been anti social too, I just have a few close friends.
I'd prefer probably starting early mornings, like six or something, and getting off at midday, just short shifts. I love walking out of the store and saying goodbye to anyone just starting haha
Yeah I liked starting as early as possible, sometimes they'd have us come in at 5am which was nice I'd get off work at 1:30 and have the whole afternoon free, that or I'd like to work the graveyard shift.
Yeah, I'd love to come home after lunch and have a nap too, for an hour or two. I love a refreshing nap in the arvo, makes me feel like I've had enough sleep compared to when I actually first wake up in the morning.
I worked a 6am to 2pm shift at my old job. It was horrible! :yuk Mornings were made for sleeping, not being awake.

I've always had this ability to snap to full alertness as soon as I wake up lol, there's no period of senselessness for me after waking up.
Mornings make me cranky. :ninja Most of the time when I was on that shift I just wanted to shoot people. :ninja

I used to work 4am-1pm
Worst shift ever
OK, you win. :bowdown:
lulz, that's how I felt all day every day, but I hid it well, as far as they knew I was a friendly guy and didn't hate their guts or anything
I am a morning person. I get up..... get ready to take on the day..... and do what I can until the energy is gone. If I get up and have to sit around before doing anything..... I get antsy. Especially if I'm waiting on others to get going.
...... but as for Fridays. I work.... so my day isn't really mine until after 3:30 p.m. (depending on the road conditions and if I have to pick something up on the way home) when I walk through the door at home. Today was okay. I got all caught up and when I walk back into work on Monday.... it'll start all over again. Job security to say the least though.
I had the munchies something fierce a couple of hours ago. I was tempted to make and bake some oatmeal cookies.... but settled for some pretzels instead. No way were they as satisfying as the cookies would have been. But they were easier.... just sitting there in that bag and all.
Tomorrow.... I am making and baking oatmeal cookies though. I checked the pantry. Got everything I need.

I'm exactly the same way!
