Working nights

[DJFyrewolf36]

Oh trust me I will

My boss is being really nice. As a temp I only get paid sick leave off, I'm not entitled to paid vacation time. He let me fill out a leave card for a "doctors appointment" on sunday night, so I get a 4 day weekend!

Sounds like an exciting workshift you have!

I think I'd take that over the cranky people I've seen in the morning who haven't had their coffee yet.

Yikes! I wouldn't want to deal with people in the morning either!

So far it's been a quiet evening..... so far.

[Kfamr]

Yeah, they can get pretty scary.

Hope it's a quiet throughout the night for you. What do you do anyhow?

Right around 4-5 am, we get some realy crabby commuter traffic...although if I was going to work at 4 in the morning Id be pretty crabby too, especially if I encountered a work zone.

I do night pavement marking (crosswalks mostly), people complain about the crosswalks being in disrepair yet they complain when we actually go out and fix them

The one good thing about evening shift work is getting to sleep in mornings.
Sounds like you are responsibile for all kinds of things. Do you also have
a relaxed dress code for evenings?

[ramanth]

Kay, I work at the Circulation Desk at a law school library.

Liz, the dress code is a bit more relaxed, but if I know there is a meeting or I'll be meeting with faculty, I dress up. Most of my attire is work casual, but I can get away with wearing jeans now and then.

Last night was sooooo quiet. I kept waiting for something to go wrong and it never did. Yay!

Looking forward to another quiet night.

Sometimes at work I get stuck with the evening shift 3:30 - 12:00 a.m. and I must say that I hate it. I'd much rather work the morning 4:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. shift. I think the thing I hate most is when I have two or more night shifts back to back I don't get to see Alexa at all. I'm asleep when she leaves for work in the morning and when I get home at night she's asleep. However I seem to be one of the few at work that loves the opening shift, I feel like I have my whole day to spend and when I go to bed at night it feels like I didn't work at all since I've been off for so many hours.

I agree that's the one thing that stinks the most about this shift. I don't see Andy hardly at all.
