Ringpeas

2 more hours, must stay awake
eyes heavy, screen blurry, splelling becumin triky.

Dicke C

1.5 hours and still as fresh as a daisy. Get in at about 08:00. Have my bacon and egg (akins) then stay awake till about 12:30.
Sleep till about 20:00, have tea, kiss the kids goodnight, then watch tele till 22:30. Arrive @work for 23:00, for another fun packed evening..... Shift work don't you Love it!

Ringpeas

Stay awake 'till 12.30 don't know how you manage it.
I am not a pretty sight now, never by the time I finish.
Thankfully I only have a ten min drive home and its all through the twisties
Wakes me up enough to crawl up the stairs and kick the wife out of bed - must have warm spot

Dicke C

Can't do that. If I sleep when I get in I'm up at 15:00....Its then 8 hours before I go to work...No thanks.

Bit the bullet stay awake, much more normal. Who goes straight to bed at 17:30 when they get in on days.

wah

Roll on 8 o'clock thats all I can say

Little Miss WRX

Thank **** my nightshift "days" are over, I don't envy you guys. I used to do several 12 hour ones in a row.

Dicke C

******* typical.....Early man has gone sick Looks like I'm here for another hour......Why me!

Dicke C

Right thats me done......Goodnight everybody

Like Chelle Im off nights now and feel better for it. Whilst I was doing nights I didnt think anything of it. 10pm is as late as I work now. Loved the 4 days on 4 days off routine but the 12hr nights were so boring (8pm - 8am).

Simon.

Jed Exodus

yep, i to am a nightshift worker, 10-8 monday to thursday. the worst thing is i have no access to a computer

corradoboy

I started doing 12hr weekend nights about a year ago and I love them. Can get on with work in my own way, at my own pace as there are no interfering managers hanging around (we get more done in 3 nights than the other shifts all week) and when the work is done I can have a sleep, watch a DVD or flick through Snet for an hour. Best bit is, from 6.30am on monday through to 6pm friday I can do as I damn well pleasy while all the normal people are at work. Give me a 4 1/2 day weekend and a 2 1/2 day working week anyday.

Dicke C

Right off to bed now......Back on line about 23:30 Well I have Got to do some work from 23:00

Ringpeas

Well here we are again. Another 8 hours of looking on the internet and occasionally doing a bit of work
I used to be really busy so the nights flew by, but the company is shutting at Xmas so we have almost finished Not much to do now, if I went home I don't think anyone would notice.
Now where's my coat.....

In Disguise

unlucky m8, i've only got 2 1/2hrs to go then its home to bed...

Ringpeas

Don't mind the afternoon shift, a nice lay in, do what you want during the day and then no bosses around when you get to work.
Stereo on full, Scoobynet on the PC, feet up with plenty of coffee.

In Disguise

Dicke C

Sorry about the late login... Had to do some work Bloodly customers ringing in with their problems, can't they wait till the morning
Where abouts are you Ringpeas, and who do you work for....Never know may be one of my customers!

Cord

Another shift worker here. I do 7:30-7:30 3 nights a week, for 2 months, then the same but on days for 2 months. Ha ha ha 4 day weekends ROCK!!!! oh and I nearly forgot, a week off every 2 months when i change from days to nights/nights to days. Anyway I would love to stay and chat but I am in the middle of making myself some new fuel rails. Now TRY AND STAY AWAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Disguise

Im on count down time now chaps

Ringpeas

Dicke, I live and work in Grimsby for Syngenta. You have probably never heard of them, but they make 'crop protection' products mostly for the world wide farming market. I am sat in the quality control lab, but I think I have had all my samples already tonight

Wish I worked 12 hour shifts. My 8 hour pattern is 7 on then one off repeated 3 times
I do get a week off to recover then, but I certainly need it.
The worst bit is going from nights on to days. All you want to do is sleep but you have to be up at 6.30.

Dicke C

Heres my rota. Bit confusing but works for me!

Week 1
Mon to Fri Days 07:00 to 17:15
Sat/ Sun 07:00 to 19:30 Killer week

Week 2
Mon to Thur OFF
Fri Night 23:00 to 07:30
Sat and Sun Night 19:00 to 07:30 (Mon AM)

Week 3
Mon to Sun OFF

Week 4
Mon to Thur Nights 23:00 to 07:30 (fri AM)
Sat Sun Off

Week 5
Mon to Fri Evenings 16:00 to 23:30

And my wife wonders why I get grumpy.

In Disguise

Well chaps, its goodnight from me, my last flight has just departed for Dublin, ppwk done, so im going home to bed

Night all

Cord

Suppose i should say what I do aswell. I do 3 shifts here (making aeroplanes) and 2 days at my mates company (RB Motorsport) building skyline engines.

Argh, it's starting to drag now. I think if i listen carefully enough I can actually hear my bed shouting my name!!!!

Cord

Have a good sleep, you jammy g*t.

Not that i am at all jealous!!!!

Dicke C

Syngenta ! knew you had to be one of mine, just let me know when you want the computers to go down..Can be arranged for a price!

Moody Lane(Crop) or Market Stainton (Seeds)

Its a small world.
Dicke C

Ringpeas

Dicke, don't like the look of week 1 but the rest looks ok.
Yep it is a small world Moody lane it is for me. Don't think we need any help getting the computers to go down, they can manage that very well on their own
What do you do then at this time of night?

Cord, sounds like your job is a lot more interesting than mine. Do you get to test your work ?
