Anyone else work the nightshift?


I'm on continental nights, sucks working weekends at times but I like my 3 days off

 

Aye I sure am work in a hospital. our shifts aint that good but hey ho pays for some petrol :-)

 

I love working nights, I make finer optic cable and ducting nothing exciting really

 

Same here,work 4 on 4 off making tyres. rather work nights than days and look forward to my days off.

 

Weird in the winter though, don't see proper daylight for 3 days lol

 

I work night regular. 3 one week 4 the next. Start every Wednesday. Every other Saturday. 50% shift premium helps tho

 

Aye the enhancement is a blessing
Optic cables hmm however Tyres any make we would like on our performace motors????
lol

 

Roll some out the back door lol

Ill trade you some fibre optic cable for some decent tyres

 

Night shifts here as well... 7th in a row now thought , but that's fine going on holidays in a couple of weeks...

 

ha ha
I can only offer mental health assistance am sorry or gamekeeping tips ha ha

 

Bugger doing 7 in a row, is that 12 hour shifts? I had 92 hours overtime at double time last month only because I needed it to buy the Scooby lol

 

I'm in a similar boat, as I work 4 on / 4 off... So I start working 7:00-19:00, then 7:00-17:00 and after that I start my nightshift... 19:00-7:00!

 

I can sometimes do two/three weeks of 12 hour shifts on nights offshore, physically hate it TBH, trying to get my head back into a normal routine after three weeks on nights is a nightmare..

 

Snap. But I love nights when am offshore. No eyes on ya and just plod along. Am lucky I turn round the next say no worries. I hate days. Hate getting up at 6 for 14-21 days in a row. Am definitely a night person.

 

No offence, and I am no spelling police. But I can see that you guys work nights just by looking at your spellings and grammar. Most of you seem half asleep while posting your posts on this thread.

 

4 on 4 off 2 days,2 nights , custy as hell and loads of overtime if I need too.

The deciding factor was 4 days holiday equates to 12

 

That's the shifts my neighbour works at nissan

 

Well I can beat ya there if i take 2 weeks holiday it gives me 6 weeks off :-D

 

 

I work for Pirelli tyres so yeah some would have them on but I've got Bridgestone on my sti,

 

Spent a lot of time doing that and sleeping on hangar floors while being on exercises in the RAF.

We all soon got used to it, and as one of the older blokes used to say"If you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined!"

Last night for me though Saturday night nightshift great eh

 

i work a beauty of a shift pattern, 3 days on, 8 off, 3 nights on, 3 off, 4 days on, 1 off, 3 nights on, 3 off then it repeats so i only work 13 shifts a month. 12 hrs but no problem when your off more than your in work! i only have to book 3 shifts off a month to extend the 8 days off to 2 weeks. long may it continue.

 

Nights is the best shift for me too because there are less people around to pester me, and a little less surveillance too, you can get away with things at night which would attact attention in the day. I do find it messes up my sleep though, I always find the transition tough for a week at least.

 

Agree mate. Am lucky I turn round no worries at all if am a Friday crew change a just stay up from Thursdays shift all day friday. Go to bed Friday night and by Saturday am sorted.

 

Same here, I got offered a job on the Alwyn last week permanent nights, **** that of the two weeks I would spend at home the first week would be spent with my head up my **** trying to change back onto a normal routine..

 

You can only have the best food when working nights lol Chicago town pizzas

 

Lol

 

Well I just had a domino's only reason was they accept paypal and had no money on me lol

 

8th night in a row , it doesnt bother me , but yes transitions are a bit nuts. I start day shifts monday , to get back to sleep at night will be difficult... but not that a man can't take it, lol...

have a good one lads ...
