Just started 2nd shift today. Curious as to what others do 2nd shift and if that is good for them.


The only problem is probably getting adjusted to the sleeping changes, and the fact that I get. . . . .very short fused when tired. The youth group still has nightmares of what happened when I was woken up during a pillow fight and I threatened to throw them all out the window. . .. which, coming from a 6'2, 250 guy is taken very seriously. . ,. . .


I hope I don't try to eat my co-workers, but I know my duties will be different, so I hope I enjoy it better. I work in a pipe fittings factory in the maintaince department.

I do a 7:30 PM-7:30 AM shift once a week. The other days I go in at 7 AM and leave at 4 or 5 PM. My circadian rhythms dance to their own drum lately.

yeah, about the rhythms. I want to sleep when I am awake, and vice versa. I get all the sleep I actually need, but this stuff is playing havoc with me. I hope I get this smoothed out before school starts.
