I am all over the map. Some days, some nights. Self employed so you just never know. We do run parking lot sweepers at night, so there are times I am out swapping a flat tire or pitching in or whatever my drivers might need throughout the night. Then there is winter. You see snow on the horizon and I will be up all night.

I'm supposed to switch days and nights every other month, but manning has dictated me to nights the last 3 months. 7-7.... And this is one of the sites I can't access from work...

We have that "big brother" block where I work also but thankfully I can access TOO, AT, and a couple others but I cannot access any of the bow companys websites.. It also wont let me access moonguide.com, it says its a weapons site?? They did give us WIFI here so any site that I cant get from the work computers I pull up on my phone.

Working midnights the next three nights. Don't mind working them, as it's a lot less hectic than days, plus I can hunt in the mornings if I feel like it. Speaking of, I will probably do so Thursday morning...

I just miss 8hr shifts. 12s completely kill hunting for me when I work... I haven't seen an 8 in over 6 years. And the older I get, the more I hate nights...

I can get on AT and one of my car forums. That's about it. Makes for a long night shift. So I usually take 1-2 hours to workout....

I'm thankful to be on days. I go back and fourth between 5x8's and 4x10's depending on what we have going on. Not sure how you night shifters do it, I would be dead!

When I am on the Rig I work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and just take power naps when I can. Typically I am almost always on the Rig but my Rig went down 2 months ago and my new one will be here around the 20th of this month so I will be back at it. Love the job as a mudlogger.

Doesnt leave much in the way of a personal life or hunting time does it? But if you love the job thats whats important!

I am a Material Handler for GE, not a glorious job but it pays good and benefits are better than most out there.. for now anyway..
