Anyone else work night shift? I just started and find myself browsing tman alot. Seems like everyone else is asleep though. Sure cant wait for the season!

Guilty.

Lol I'm on overnights this week always checking to see who else maybe posting through the night

Yep, back to working nights and I do enjoy it. Something to be said about not being around when the suits are in the building.

The longer you work and live the more you will know that you can never ever trust as suit.
Just look at the government.

Been working nights for nearly 11 years. I like it. I don't have time to surf the net though??

Worked it the last 17 years before I retired the company I worked for paid 10 percent night shift bonus put it my 401k sure glad now I done that.

I work nights. Have been for the last 6 years. I like it for many reasons- less bosses, a little extra money (3rd shift premium), works great for my family schedule and gives me the mornings to run my line during trapping season.
Plus, I've never really been much of a morning person. The night is always more peaceful.

Midz! Prefer it though, no brass on midz.

12hr rotating swing shift here. The 12hr part is the easiest I think. If it was straight days or nights I don't think it would be quite as bad.

I worked steady hoot owl for 6 years when I was a miner. It was great finishing up on Friday morning, but all day Sunday you thought about going back out at midnight. I always slept as soon as I got home, and would get up at 3-4 PM everyday. On Fridays, I’d try to stay up all day, or maybe just nap for an hour or two when I got home.

I’d rather work steady midnight than swing all 3 shifts. Hated afternoon shift, except in trapping season.

Work rotating 12 hour shifts. Little over 27 years now.

My father-in-law did that for several years... 4 days on, 3 days off, 3 days on, 4 days off. 12 hour shifts and changed from days to nights every two weeks.

Tough way to make a living.

12hr shift from 6pm to 6am. 28 days on, 14 days off. Rinse, repeat.

I don't understand, do some of you guys get paid to "surf the net"? What kind of job do you have that puts up with that?

Swings here as well. 12 hour shifts. 4 nights, 4 off, 3 days 3 nights, 4 off, 4 days, 6 off. Repeat. Not horrible at the refinery.

I'm Actually a controls specialist. Automation and controls. Programmer/electrician. A Lot of the time I'm in my controls office programming or making changes or from my iPad. When its slow we just wait until we get a call for something. We have to keep the plant running. So I'm usually here at my computer working on projects then refresh tman to see whats happening.

A fun one. Don't always have time to get on the net. Feast or famine. Some days you work harder than others.

12 HR night shifts for me the last 8 years. Less brass listening to the radio and a better customer to deal with than daytime folks. Would not trade it although the wife grips about it.

9 years on midnights here. Machinist for the railroad. Not an easy life but
can’t complain to much!!
