Pros and cons of night shifts...

Sep 18, 2007 07:32

Night shift - the good points:
  • fewer people around to annoy me
  • more opportunities to learn new things at work
  • buses are not crowded
  • seeing a beautiful sunrise at the end of the workday
  • I get some quality me-time before and after work
  • I can take a nap around sunset
  • I can schedule appointments for any time during the day - no loss of hours, only a loss of sleep

Night shift - the bad points:
  • surrounded by mullets
  • no lunch lady
  • co-workers who come to work inebriated
  • listening to the QA guys (a Croatian, a Serb, an Egyptian, and a Mexican) discussing geography and politics
  • I rarely see darling hubby conscious during the week
  • telemarketers
  • trying to sleep through a beautiful fall day

After two shifts, I can say that it isn't the worst thing in the world - and I can say that there are definitely things that I would rather be doing instead. Oh well, it pays the bills for now - and it's only for two weeks.

work - generic
