Shift Work

At my job it is required that someone be there 24/7, 356.25 days a year. We work 12 hour shifts, so I either work from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, or from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. We switch shifts every four weeks. For the last few night shifts I have been switching with a co-worker that was working a second job and wanted to stay on nights. I just started my first night shift since August. I forgot how much I like nights. It’s so much slower and quieter. I can get a lot more reading done.

I actually really love my shifts. It’s nice to change it up every four weeks. Days are much busier at work, but it’s nice to be up at normal hours too. Nights are nice and quiet and I get to stay up late on my days off. I am a night and morning person if that is really possible. I love getting up early and I love staying up late. I pretty much don’t like sleeping. I could get way more done if I didn’t have to waste five hours a day sleeping. Am I weird?
