INGO: After midnight.

[Wolfhound]

When I was a new guy, an old timer told me, keep coming in that gate day after day. Soon, you'll look back and wonder where the time went.

That was good advice.

LOL I should’ve read the whole thread before responding to churchmouse!

We had a similar mixture we called rocket fuel. Every body brought a bottle and poured it in. I swear it would run a sprint car engine. The results were the same no matter.

Last midnight (Thursday morning) was my LAST MIDNIGHT shift.

I start day shift on 1/10. Seventeen years of working sometime between 1500-0700 hours on various shifts... I’m hoping I don’t vaporize into a cloud of ash when I see the sun.

I tried day shift back in 2009. Lasted 4 weeks. The problem wasn't the hours, it was the people.

I have to ask, when you say people was it the criminals or the Police? I ask this because in a lot 24 hour organizations in the USAF I was around like Aircraft Maintenance and Security Forces (AKA Air Force Cops) there were guys who never wanted to work days. Too much brass, too much BS during the day. Swings and Mid-shift? Do your job with minimal hassle.

Both.

That’s my fear as well because I’m kind of spoiled by the atmosphere I have at night currently. But, you know my little microcosm isn’t that bad so I should be in pretty good shape. Here’s hoping I feel like a regular person again and not on the continual verge of losing my wife and kids.

Not seen the OP in a year or so.

The first two weeks after work, I slept at night, was awake during the day.
I thought, well this adjustment seems to be going well.

Last couple days... well I guess not.

I'm up freezing myself unloading another freaking load of ethanol. In the last six days, I've done just 4 gas stations and 20 loads of ethanol. That's 260,000 gallons of 200 proof corn booze.

Edit: I'm not actually unloading right now. I'm waiting for another truck to get out of the way so I can.

4:00 AM and yes some of us are awake.....

Long, cold night at work. I'm home unwinding before bed. For youz peeps that are just waking up, I'll be sleeping for the next six hours.

Good night!
