anyone work the night shift?

[kalster]

just curiors. I work as a software engineer. but today i am installing my new softswitch code and have to do it at 2am. sure feels odd to work at this hour . i think i'll go after lunch tommorow to work

 

[DainBramaged]

I work from 3:30 PM to 2:00 AM M-Th. I like the shift because I have 3.5 days free. Plus night shift premium.

 

[Gatecrasher3]

i worked 10:30pm to 6:30am last night
NEVER work night shifts kids

 

[jammur21]

I work
Midnight - 8am x 6 days-- sucks

Used to work
Midnight - 1pm x 6 days -- absolutely terrible

 

[minendo]

I did 7pm-7am 24x7 for 5 months. No overtime since I was salary but for every 8hrs past 40/wk I was paid a flat rate premium. Will never do it again.

 

[jadinolf]

Used to work graveyard.

I hated it.

 

[imported_LoKe]

Tried working 11-7:30.

Didn't last long. Hopefully I'll never have to do that again.

Why? You'll end up sleeping most of the day, and it's hard as hell for most to adjust to eating so late/early and sleeping so early (sun will be out.)

Not how I want to live.

Not quite nights, but I work 6am-6:30pm Fri-Sun. 4 days off but I end up working those at another job.

That's days. Completely the opposite of nights.

It's certainly a long shift.

I'm already adjusted to nights. I normally wake up at 3 am, and go to sleep ~10 pm. It's actually harder for me to stay awake during the day than it is nights.

12am-8am 5 days a week for around 6 years. Wouldn't say I love it but I don't mind it. Other then being by myself 90% of the time it doesn't really bother me and most of the time thats actually a plus. I don't have a problem sleeping during the day and my schedule isn't that off from everybody else. I just work while everybody else is sleeping and sleep while everybody else is working. Evening still the same and I get to sleep in everyday . Never having to get up to an alarm is nice.

 

[Gatecrasher3]

i did not know it was possable to like working nights

 

[Chaotic42]

12am-845am Tue-Sat

Shift lead at a NOC.

 

[TechHead87]

2pm-11pm Monday-Wednesday.
7pm-11pm Fridays ONLY (high school football season only)
9pm-11pm SATURDAYS only (during college football season)
4pm-11pm Sundays (and saturdays during football's offseason)

Get paid for 50 hours per week.

I work at a local ABC station.

Are you basically just doing this outside of PST on live workstations?
