Sitting here at work (1800-0600) waiting for my 12 hours to be up and was wondering if anyone else out there works shift. I work 2 days (0600-1800), 2 nights (1800-0600) and then 4 days off.

I work 2200-0800 Tues Evening - Saturday Morning, so four days on Three days off. I try to take advantage of my first day off and instead of sleeping i just stay up the whole day, that way it's more like getting four complete days off (Saturday-Tuesday) and it helps me get my sleep schedule readjusted. Pretty soon we could be moving to 12 hour shifts which would give me an extra day off a week.

Yeah, I understand the stay up thing so you get the full 4. I love the 4. I only work shift when someone is on vacation, sick or we are down a man. Right now we are down a guy who has been out sick for 6 months. I usually work 8 hour days. I get paid paid better though when coverin shift

yeh, mids/evenings is my regular shift, I'm a network engineer but our contract is due to disappear next November so we're short staffed and i've been pulling crazy over time covering other people's shifts. Last pay period i pulled in 50 Hours OT not including the holiday pay, so the check is looking niiiice but its a bit taxing on the body and mind. I don't mind working the extra OT due to the shift differential (10%) but i think i'm burnt out on it. Next weekend is my last OT weekend then it's back to my regular shift and a some fun holidays (anniversary, daughters birthday, christmas, new years, etc).

Understand. I am a Pipeline Controller and I have put in an extra 75 hours over the past 2 pay periods. Plus I worked 5 12 hour shifts over the holiday weekend. I am negotiating Christmas away as I type. I have to work New years eve. I cant do christmas also. Wife will kill me and not in the way Joe's or cobras get killed either. I wont have a parachute or a body of water to jump in.

I requested Christmas off too, so either someone is volunteering for my shift or being forced to come in because there's no way in hell i'm coming in. I work pretty much every holiday but Christmas is the only one i ask off since i go up to New York to visit family. If i don't get Christmas off then i imagine that my wife would bag me on my way out the door and feed me to the pigs.

Shift work has it's perks though, no late days at the office, and for me at least no beeper. I love my 4 days a week off, I work 7A to 7PM.
