The main problem i have is when i am on days i leave at 04:30 in the morning and don't get home until 19:30, then do it again the next day, 2 days off the swap to nights 18:00 until 06:00.
When i am on shift it feels like all i do is eat, sleep and work!
It's the shift swaps that are hardest though!!
all good fun

What does everybody do?
Student, learning animation and modelling. And no, I do not get to go out and drink, I work my ass off specially this coming year since it's my final year :( On rush weeks, I will be up at 6 and be up till 3 in the morning. |

Hi, Mike, good morning. I can recommend some brilliant steam train videos on youtube if you want a busman's holiday ....

I actually live in Herne Bay, kent, and it's a long drive.
Same company though.
Still unsocialable hours though!!
My sympathies. Hope you're able to chill out with slightly stronger liquids sometime this weekend! |

Working hard to ensure you all have enough of your favourite carbonated soft drinks LOL.
6 12 hr shifts in one week is not a lot of fun.
You don't live in Wakefield do you? Think you work for a firm that has huge complex in this area - heard about them! Used to be all coal mines round there but now all that's produced is coke ... |
