working nights for too long (10 YEARS). I say this because I am never motivated to do ANYTHING until the evening/night time hours anymore.

IM right there with ya....

And it sucks, because when you get off of work, everyone is sleeping, and then when you are sleeping, everyone is at work, and then when you are working, everyone is off....

Part of the reason I have absolutely nothing that comes close to even remotely resembling a life...

lol its called work. I have been working since I was 15. I was working 50-70 hours a week at my last job for 17 years of hard dedication it sucked but it ended up that i got layed off and now out of a job. It doesn't pay to work crazy anymore. They will not appreciate it. Thhey try to squeeze every penny out of you and more. It sucks I hated it.

I have done all the different shift and they all have some advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately in this economy it is hard to change jobs. I guess we all need to be thankful that we have one.

I don't know how you night guys do it. When I was a foreman working in the field, one of my projects at Tampa International had to be worked at night, 10PM to 5AM. I had that schedule for 4 straight months and never got accustomed to it.

But Paul is correct, having any job right now is a blessing.

I can't agree with that more. This is the first time ever I don't have a job and I'm so lost

My job has a revolving schedule, I would work 87.5 hours on days then have 7 days off, then work 87.5 hours on nights then seven days off. I actually like nights more for our situation, it's cooler in the summer and in the winter everything is froze over so there is less mud and slush to walk through. We are outside in the elements 98% of our time there- rain, snow, not much stops drilling- so being cooler and dryer is a plus. Having the time in-between does help but it is hard switching back and fourth.
