I've been working "night-side" at McDonalds, 5-12 (or closing) and I stay with a few fellow workers and shut everything down, then leave. When I get home i'm not in the least bit tired, and dont usually end up going to sleep till around 4 , 5 , hell, one night even 6. That time I even said goodbye to my mom as she left for her job in the hospital. It's odd, and a strange thing to get used to. I get plenty of sleep, and wake up around 3 or 4, get ready, and head over to MC's and get to work. Well, right now its 3:45, so I should at least try to go sleep.  |

But anyway, sorry about Spanish, you pulled a decent B ( 81 ) And dont worry about mom, she hasnt found out, and she doesnt have to know. . . .  But she told me you guys called, I missed it. But anyway, i'll see you Sunday. |

Working from seven to eleven every night,
It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could.
'Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I've Been Loving You.
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

In the morning I talk to my coffee pot it's name is Pete/He tells me things like "Find the White Dove, my son!"/and then I go to school.
My neighbor works the ultimate night shift...Drives to Chicago and back four nights a week. He's a Nam Vet and totally insane...During Fourth 'O July we were blowing off fireworks while he was outside...He thought he was getting shot at and ran behind his house...It was pretty funny...He calls me Chuck from time to time and I really don't know why. |

I didn't technically have a night shift, but there was a time last semester where I was completely nocturnal. I'd go to bed around 6 or 7 AM and wake up late in the afternoon. |

Yeah, so I have an interview Friday to work from 10pm-7am at Super Target department/grocery store. If I get the job, I'll say bye to the sun for the summer. |

i feel bad for people who have to work late. there's this guy i work with. he comes in at 4pm. he's the night manager. the store closes at 9. he's there till like 3 or 4 scraping and cleaning the floors and things. i mean, you gotta figure he gets home around 330 at the earliest. assume he goes straight to bed, he probably gets up at 12 or 1. and then back to work at 4. everyday except saturday. just seems real shitty is all. |

I worked all night while in college, bartending and bar accounting then went to class all day. It sucked and my whole system fried out for awhile. I couldn't eat at night or sleep during the day. I eventually got used to it. That was after several bouts with hallucinations from lack of sleep and almost failing organic chemistry because I couldn't stay awake during that class at 8am, with its big comfy chairs. heehee!

No, night - side crew doesnt get paid any extra...though we can help ourselves to whatever's about to be thrown out, oh yeah. And overall just less work. It is wierd though, eating a 'dinner' at around 2 - 3 in the morning, but i'll get the hang of it.

yep I interned at the University of Penna. Veterinary hospital and had the night shift for awhile. It was usually boring, not a lot happening except an occasional dog that was hit by a car. Worst was when they scheduled me for the morning shift the next day! Sixteen hour straight schedules were a bitch! (pun intended...hehe.. bitch, female dog, veteriary hospital....ok lame I know)
I liked going home on the train in the early morning and watching all the commuters headed to work! Ofcourse I had to go back when they were all at home but hey.
I also worked nights at a local vet. hospital for 2 years and it is weird to have that kind of schedule but once you get into it its not too bad. Late night TV can sometimes be more interesting.
Hope they pay more to the night shift employees! |
