Another shift worker here.

Morning shift starts usually at 8am. Its p00. Traffic is horrendous, parking is a biyarch, and the bosses are usually anal freaks that need a couple of 9mm aspirins for their headaches.

Afternoon shift is so much better. Starts at midday, a seperate carpark is opened then to cater for afternoon staff, traffic is non existant, only have to tolerate the bosses for about four or less hours, and basically left to work in my specialty on my own, which is fantastic.

ATM, I work a scattered random mix of morning and afternoon shifts every week.

Will be doing nights as of Valentine's day. Never done nights at this hospital before, we'll see how it goes. Roster looks orrrright at the moment. Five days on, four days off

I work from before the sun come's up, till after it goes down.

5-6days a week.

8-5 monday to friday...and on weekends only for the nice people of Ozliberty....

Whooo another shift worker here.
Work monday-thursday 3pm-1am Plenty of time when i wake up to get things done and long weekend every weekend. Just sucks 3 times a year... State of Origin. Havn't seen a game in 5 years

my first ever job was 3:30 till midnight, did that for 6 years. now i work a 12 hour rotating roster, 2 12 hour days followed by 2 12 hour nights then four days off. one of which u spend sleeping but at least your at home with the kids.
can't say i ever worked constant days for any real length of time but when i did you really feel part of the norm. can't imagine how norm people get sh!t done when you work same hours as banks and stuff.
we're gonna suffa for all this shift work when we're older though just watch.
wouldn't have it any other way though just the same.
insomnia is my friend :jester:

Shift FTW!

I normally do a bit of nights 1500-0130

And a bit of mornings 0500-1530

I don't think i could go back to nine to five, I hate the weekend rush anyway!

I work thursday through monday 5-5 most days... on a lucky day escape at 4, even luckier days escape at 3 . Depends what other staff I have on, and whether or not the 1IC is there on that particular day.

But yeah, today's the first day of my weekend.... wtf's the point of a middle of the week weekend? lol.

God it sucks being young and having to do what the older people don't want to do.

wow thatd b hard doing some of those hours! Im on casual so i get moved all over the place... friday was 10-6 then saturday was 10am till 9pm which is annoying then 2-9 sunday and 3-9 monday then 2 days off
