What shift do you work?

I hate working in the mornings. I'm a nighttime kinda guy. But, my new position sorta needs me to get to work before noon. :(

How 'bout you?

For the in-betweeners: For example, if you usually start at 0400, pick whatever group you or your employer classifies that shift as. 0400 at my company is still graveyard. Morning shift starts at 0500. Now you just have to post and explain why you picked one over the other.

My company actually uses a 36-hour clock. It gets complicated. :confused: :eek:

edit:
Also, tell us if you don't work an "normal" 8 hour day. Some people work 4 ten hour shifts instead of 5 eight hour shifts. I think cops work twelve hour shifts...

Right now I start at 1430, and get off at 2330. Today I am doing overtime, from 0600 to 1400. Yesterday, I did some crazy hours. I started at 0400 and got off at 1800 :o I am a little tired now. Anyways, it all makes for a good paycheck.


Wow, 24 hour time, thats so, strange. I like it. :D

that sucks... when do you sleep?

don't most people work 9-5? errr.... 0900-1700

I do not work dayshifts and i love it !!!!

Only work 3pm to 11pm and the other is 11pm to 7am.

Dayshifts suck !! i'm not a dayshift person.

I don't work...... Yet :(

I don't work...... Yet

so when do you go out then?? you can't go out to dinner with the wife or anythin like that

but workin from 3 to 11 would be cool you could go out when you get off work then you can sleep in till 2 and nurse that hang over :D

I dont just work Mon-Fri.
I usally do 7 days in a row then have 4 days off.
A lot of the time i work weekends and have my days off during the week. This suits me just fine as i would sooner have my days off during the week.
Most of my mates shift work as well, so during the week its a lot easier to go for a game of golf or work-out etc as there are a lot fewer people then weekends.
Once every 3 weeks i get a weekend off ........that's the "party weekend"

:D :D

You have an amazing schedule! 7days=4 Days off! 3 weeks=1 week Off?

What exactly do you do with the Trains?

Sorry, we were getting a bit off-topic, so I split the thread for a new one about Trains (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t6596.html). All better. Please continue... :D

Good idea.

Any others of you that shift work.....is there a limit as to how many days in a row you can work ??
Also how many hours off before you start a new shift.

Mine is no more then 10 days in a row....but a max of 12

Have to have a 10hour rest before you start a new shift.

I guess mine would be the first one. I'm a fast food bitch so i go in at about 10 or 11am after class. then some days i go in at 8am, i dont mind am shifts or the unset schedule, but the fast food biz has got to go. been at the same place for 4 years now, i wouldnt mind working at a bank or a car dealership.

Golf is played by many here....not as big as the USA....just Lots of hackers like me play it here !!!!

It's a real buzz here at the moment with Tiger Woods coming to play soon.

I try to get out once every two weeks.
Thats what i like about shift work and the hours i work.....it almost gives you the whole day to do what you want before work.

Me: 7:45 to 16:15 and one duty week (24h on call service) every 3 weeks (can't leave the city that week).

Tiger Woods is god :D when you watch him play it just blows your mind, like how the hell does he get the ball that close to the pin?! It's like he's not human.... I went to the Canadian Open when he played and he hit a 6-iron out of a fairway bunker, over water on to a small green from i think it was like 190 yards (i'm not positive about the yardage) but it was the most amazing thing i have ever seen

Too bad Tiger hasn't been playin that well this year..... he's still the man
In Golf Digest they said that even if Tiger doesn't play any tournaments for 2 years he'll still be number 1 in the world with points, that's how many he's gotten....

not to mention last years mind boggling season :D
