I know i've said it before in a thread a couple months ago. But they just suck. 10pm to 10am.

On the upside, I got a 22 cent raise, so I'm at 11.22/hr

I work 6pm to 6 am.
Sun, Mon, Tue and every other Sat.
Its not so bad.
Overtime after 8 hours and night time differential make it worth it.

7pm to 7am here. I hate night shift with a passion, but it minimizes the BS at work, so I've been doing it for just over four years now. Oh how I miss working 8-4:30 Monday-Friday. Why did I give that up for this again?

For me no traffic to and fro and when I go shopping it's just me and those who have the day off. Waking up at 9 or 10 am and enjoying my coffee and taking my time eating my breakfast, yup I'll stick to evening shifts (2nd shifts) and make the small sacrifices that go with them. Oh yeah and night management 9 out of 10 don't care what you do as long as the work gets done. Heck there are nights I don't see them more then twice the entire shift.

Yes, the long shifts suck. I usually work 7am-8pm and it really wears me out

I work 6 AM to 6PM. Took awhile to get used to 12 hr shifts but I have a lot of time off as well. My long weeks are 5 days, my short weeks are 2 days.

14 hours on the *******@#&*in roof sucks cause somebody order wrong material, the roof is open and bad weather is coming but overtime rate is good and getting paid $17.5 for travel time every day is good too

I work five days a week at one job and 6 days a week at my other job.
Haveing two jobs suck but I have to pay for the wife to finish school.
I work 14 hour days 4 days a week. I have two days off from the afternoon/night job.
I am only off on the weekend from the day job. Hence I have no day off cause I am never off at both places. Both jobs are full time. Working 75 to 80 hours a week sucks really give no time for the wife or hangin out with friends. Somehow I manage.

8.5 hours into mine right now. First night back on is always the toughest.
I could if I closed my eyes for more than a minute.
