Well, here I am again, on the night shift again this week! This time got 4 shifts, usually it's only three, so will probably be dead by Thursday night! 
And to cap it all off, this is my first day back after a fortnight off and in Spain, what a return! Mind you, nights are usually quieter, though I've got a load of paperwork to do sadly 
Rewriting care plans - what fun!

The more the merrier!  Might just help to keep me awake and about as sane as I usually am (which isn't quite as sane as most people I suspect!)

I was - I have to do a week of nights (3 or 4 nights) once a month on average, looks like this week is my week for it!
I don't mind the nights so much, I just don't like trying to sleep during the day, also the 'routine' of nights I don't like - basically get up, have about an hour to yourself before you have to get something to eat then it's time to get ready for work again and off you go! So nights are a bit of a love/hate thing with me!

I just KNOW how you feel Samboy When I used to work at Wendy's in 1991, being the youngest manager (hierarchy) (guy) in the group I was assigned in the graveyard-shift . . . 11 pm till 7 am ! I remember during the time I was about to leave work (morning) and sees the peeps around just about to go to their offices ... it made me really sad. While at night (10 pm) when I am about to go to the office, the people around me are on their way . . . home . . . but what I noticed having that kind of sked from then till now is that, I can work anytime I wanted to . . . and at my pace as well . . .

It's certainly a strange feeling driving home to bed whilst everyone else is driving to work in the morning!
Not long to go now, just another three to go after today

You have to hit that delicate balance though, because too much coffee can make you tired.

I'm currently on days, though no doubt will have some more nights next month at some stage!
I quite like nights though I don't like what they do to your body clock and sleeping during the day's a bugger!

If only this thread had been around back when I was on night duty back in the army. Heh... Would have been entertaining with great company. Now that I'm back in school, no more late nights for me. At least I hope.  To all of you who are doing the night shift, hang in there! Personally I like doing night shifts though. It's so quiet and peaceful, unlike the hustle and bustle in the day.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |
