Just a little pleased that ive just finished my first of 4 nights for the month....

well will have in 15 minutes... does anyone else out there have to work nice long hours over night with nobody else for company but the internet?

I used go do that when I was in the Air Force. I'd do 4 days on (two days of 7a-7p directly followed by two days of 7p-7a) and then have 4 days off. You think that sounds sweet cause 4 days off in a row is cool, but your body gets jacked up trying to make the switch from days to mids. Not only do you feel like a zombie, but those lonely late nights kill you... I swear I've looked at every page the internet has to offer. After awhile I stopped using the internet at home cause then I wouldn't have anything to look at while I was at work. I feel for you bro.

What'd you do in the AF? I was in from 2001-2005, the last 2 years of which I must have been on mids about 80% of the time. I'm a contractor now, and still working 12-hour shifts overnight, but at least it pays better. But yeah, everything you said is true.

I was in the Intelligence career field. I was a 1N4 so I worked for the NSA the whole time I was in. 6 straight years of shift work. I wasn't on a regular Mon-Fri schedule once!! So needless to say, when it came time to re-enlist, I politely told them no.

Thank you for censoring the title of this thread. There's a lot of profanity used on this board, and it bugs the shit out of me.

My shifts are poo. supposed to be 4 on 4 off, however they work it so you do 4 nights in a row with 2 cover days each end then normally another 2 proper days off each side, work at most 1 day of the weekend a month, but 12 hours is a killer... esp the nights and weekends, as there's no work to do and nobody else.

I know what you mean about the zombie effect, the final night shift getting home at 7:30 and waking up at 11 just so I can get used to days again not so fun

And I thought I should censor the title, don’t wanna hurt the lil kiddies eyes do I
