Knocks years off your life. That should cheer you up

Surely people know when they go for a job they'll be doing nights.

I know I certainly wouldn't do it. I like the traditional way of living but I'm sure many do it well and enjoy it.

Id fucking hate to do it. Wouldnt go into a career where you had to do it.

did it for 2 years

 

never again

i worked nights

 

chose nights over 6am starts

 

its ok in the winter specially if like me you can sleep on demand

 

id sleep all day, have some tea then back to bed before work

 

shit life but i was making money

Never used to bother me when I did them, I found work went a lot quicker and I enjoyed it more. The downside was on my 4 nights on I'd go home and sleep and then get up and go to work again, which wasn't too bad it was the first day off I used to walk round like a zombie.

No change there then

Been doing nights for the last 4 years after an "enforced" job change.

Due to do my last 2 ever tonight and tomorrow but thought "fuck it" and booked them off.

Won't miss them.

I don't think I ever could, nearest I've ever done was cleaning the stained glass at the galleries in Wigan was It was two and a half nights felt like forever

It's shit but it's part of the job. Overall I like the job. Sometimes

4 hours kip and I look and feel like shite. The problem with me is I can't switch off when I get home and get into bed. How people do this permanently I will never know

Menkul. I'm jut glad I don't have kids otherwise I'd proper crack up

Done nights quite a few time over the years.

 

They are a bit of a novelty for the first week or so,then you quickly realise its completely shite.

 

My Mum was a cancer nurse for 40 years working nothing but nights for the last 30.

 

Some people are just cut out for it.

 

I am not one of those people.

ive don a few over the years

 

worst are when you are away from home in a shity town like clacton on sea did 8 week of nights there

Buy better blinds/curtains. You'd find it difficult trying to get to sleep with sunshine rippling through your nets.

Net curtains? What is it 1987? I don't find it difficult sleeping I just need more of it

Did nights once. Not saying I enjoyed it, but it weren't bad. Also did a 24hr call out cover. Now that was shite.

It's a piece of piss (most of the time) it just messes you up.

It was a joke.

Should have done better at School, then you wouldn't have to work nights, my love.
