GraveYard Shift BS

I have tried it the other way, but I start to get really tired about 3/4s way through my shift. I work an alternating shift schedule (7 shifts on days, 7 days off, 7 shifts on nights) so my internal clock is always screwed up.

 

Be sure that these old bones are in bed by 11pm on Fri, sat nite. Sometimes sooner!!
I feel like a normal person atleast 2 days out of the week.

 

Work 8p to 630a, it's an hour drive both directions. Sleep from Noon or so to 6p.

 

This is a long night

 

I get off at 5in the morning and stay up till 7then sleep till 1and leave the house at4 to head to work

 

What part of AR you in? What kinda work?

 

Work 7p to 7a.....75 minute drive home, shower & in bed by 9am. Get up at 3pm, do it all again.

 

This is very close to our schedule. I like it.

 

I love it too.. it's a week off every other week. Can't really beat that.

That's pretty cool

 

Me at work, working....

 

Ha. On overtime tonight & tomorrow. Not much at the desk serf time when we get premium pay....bastards.

 

^^^^ha! I think that's pretty much what we are all looking at..

 

I work 6 PM to 6 AM. I have 3 and then a 4 day WW. I sleep from 8 to about 3. The most difficult part for me is the weekends. If I do not have much going on I don't rotate and try and stay up night. Worked well for the winter but with the summer coming up it may be more difficult. How do you guys manage the weekends without being zombies?

 

When I get off on friday morning after working 8-12 hrs, I stay up all day until about 10-11pm and crash.
Wake up early on Saturday and do the same thing.
Sundays are what's tricky for me. I don't know what to do with myself since I have to work at 11pm. Usually get me a good Sunday morning beer buzz on and try and lay down about 1pm. Although it doesn't always work out that way.

Plus no wife or kids so I do what I want, when I want, how I want.

 

What are weekends? My 7 day hitch is from Wed-Tues...

 

Sorry, no pics of work here. Top secret classified stuff.
That's an instant pink slip out the door to the unemployment line.
