GraveYard Shift BS

I used to be a morning person, many years ago, but I don't know if it was many years of graveshift and swingshift that changed that or what. When I was on days last year, I was always tired when I went home, and would nothing done at home.

 

It was a slow transit to reach Albany today. Got stuck a few times. Cg had to give us some help to get freed up.

 

damn that looks cold

 

Too cold for me.

 

one more night shift then i go to days

 

Lucky!

 

yeah but its a one day turn around....gonna need lots of coffee

 

Ooh - that's rough.

Is this a permanent change?

 

for 4 months then back to nights boo

 

Ah. Our shift assignments are pretty stable, once you're on one particular shift you're on it until you move to another one.
My current suckage is a 3x4x12, 6pm-6am, Thu-Fri-Sat (and every other Weds)

 

im on a panama shift right now, if i had regular days off id be happy but not with the mandatory ot

 

"Panama shift"? Had to look that one up!

While I do hate my current shift, it's nice to at least have consistent days off.

 

well you learned something tonight lol...its not a bad shift if i actually had proper days off

 

Couldn’t pay me enough to go to days permanently... our union finally negotiated time and a half for overtime for us (versus comp time) and I pulled a double earlier this week. Never again.

 

Yeah, we have Sat. Sun. one week then Fri. Mon. the next. One of the reasons I have applied for a Daywalker position.

 

Sort of sounds like my schedule, but im considered a weekender. I have to work 2 weekend nights fri & sat or sun & mon and one random day. So I’ve got it to where I’m off every other Saturday and Sunday.

 

I kinda like my schedule.......off all of the time

 

I wish lol
