Shift Work

Sportplus · 07-02-2011, 11:06 PM

As the title says, Does anyone else work shift's?

I work 2 day's, 2 nights (12 hour shifts) on a rolling rota.

Baby Dave · 07-03-2011, 03:56 AM

Have worked shifts all my life. If I do a 9-5 it Knackers me out

toxicnerve · 07-03-2011, 04:43 AM

Mccarroll01 · 07-03-2011, 05:12 AM

parapaul · 07-03-2011, 07:12 AM

Same as the OP here, I do either 6-6 or 7-7 shifts, 2 days, 2 nights, then 4 off. Weekends are for the rat race, free time in the week is where it's at

With Will, it's more of a 'disappointing 10 minutes'. That includes 5 minutes of begging.

6 week rota - one week of nights in that. One short week. Others lates or days. It has its benefits and its drawbacks.
