Hard work paid off by more hard work.... - 01-05-07

So I found out that im going to be switching to 3rd shift.... midnight to 8am.... its a shitty shift as far as time of day goes, but its a 15% raise... which would take me 5 years in my old shift, getting the maximum raise each year (3%) to make. Its less work (less users to deal with) its also alot more responsability, I would be taking the lead tech support position for our admin users in japan.

anybody else work 3rd shift on DF?.... im gonna be bored as shit.

Not anymore. I have for years, though. At hotels. 11-7. What a bitch. Especially in Alaska. The old night auditor got fired for looking at gay pr0n from work. So I started pulling 7 days a week.

But I might be with ya soon. I'm trying to get back into hotels. Hopefully 3rd shift.

I never worked in shifts . . . the payrise is interesting though .
I'm in a different timezone so . . .
I know it sucks when everyone is either just getting up as you are going to bed or the other way around !

I know. I have a really great friend that I talk to that lives in Hemel Hempstead, England. The guy in my avatar, actually.

But the 5 hour time difference makes it kinda a bitch sometimes.

How's that going to work with the wife & kid?

I'm lucky I can get up with the job I have now, let alone 3rd shift.....

Soon that won't be an issue, though.

Yes , it is . Some of my best friends live abroad .
With a timedifference of 7 or 8 hours it isn't easy to get together and talk !
I've got some in the UK too , that's not so bad just a hour earlier !

I work night shift, and I prefer it. I'm pretty much my own boss. I get to watch cable TV, smoke in the office, play playstation, surf the net. I'd be doing the same at home, so I figure, why not get paid to?
You gotta read Dayworld by P.J. Farmer. That's what I want. Perfect.

Yeah? I was telling him about you. He wanted to know where you lived. I thought it was somewhere relatively near him.
