Just so everyone knows, I have gotten a new job since I was last in here, I work at a footy club thats open 10am-4am, I do Bar work sometimes, but mostly work as the receptionist. Been working here 5 months & have been in charge of training 90% of new staff as of 2 months ago, lol & I thought I was still a newbie.

So, I've been working only night shifts lately (7:30PM - 4:00AM) the patrons think I'm nuts & feel the need to tell me so on a regular basis, but I prefer I prefer nights. I'm tryna get a day job aswell so I told my boss I'm not available during the day (not that I ever got more than 1 day shift per/wk anyway) but like I've said since my McManager days "I will always prefer to stay up till 4 than get up at 4".

The penalty rates rock & after 1am this place is DEAD like 2 people in the whole club! In fact, I'm at work now, this is how "hard" the night shifts are, I sit at a desk playing on the internet, listening to the radio, I mean fair enough that most people get tired, but you get used to it after a while. Also since I started nights, my old Macca's went 24hrs so I can get free Macca's on my break at 1am biggrin

So what shifts does everyone else do? Are you clearly a morning/night person & not working the hours that suit?

From August '07 to March '08 I had the day shift at my plant. 7 am until 3:30 pm. Now I'm on the "afternoon shift"... or what I call the "Not quite day shift" lol. 9:30 am until 6 pm.

I actually did better getting up for the earlier shift than I do now... I hate mornings and do my best work in the afternoons/evenings. Even late nights are better than mornings. It takes me until noon before I can keep up with everyone else on the line lol

I used to work from 11-7 at McDonalds.

Then from 8:30-1 I'd be at school.

Wouldn't fall asleep until around 3 or 4 or something like that...

no wonder I only managed it for 3 months @.@

At one point I actually forgot what the sun looked like...

I liked working Night Shifts better.

It may have been boring, but I hated dealing with all the people I got during the day time shifts.

Im much more active at night and I usually dont go anywhere during the day unless I HAVE to.

Like right now, its 9:09pm and Im looking outside and thinkin' its time to go down to CarlsJr's and get me a burger xD
