Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Mrs Mullarkeys dad used to do nights in a children’s care home in the weej. He would clock in at 9pm and be sleeping by 10pm, letting the kids roam the streets of Glasgow, only to be woken every night by the polis battering the door at 4am after they’d rounded them up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine seeing Nicky Walker at 6am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 8 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: I have a lot of downtime with my role and so actively choose nightshift as TV is better, and the rec' area is significantly quieter. That and being able to have the occasional kebab for breakfast with no questions asked. Doesn't matter how I manage my hours on the return day of departure, I will always involuntarily fall asleep on the couch by 8pm for the best part of a week. My other half wanted to see Dune 2 on its release date, and I feel asleep for pretty much the duration (a mountain of popcorn spilled out my lap when I got up at the end ). I watched it 'again' offshore and didn't even recognise Feyd-Rautha. I always do the early check-in and then go to bed expecting it to get cancelled, asking somebody to wake me up should it surprisingly turn up on time (cf. fog / trigger lightning / wind / sea state / alternative airport closure / pilot hours / pilot illness / strike action / another platform suddenly being in limits... and so on). The only thing that pissed me aff with nightshifts offshore was having to eat a meal at 1230 am. My body did not enjoy that. Although my right arm did enjoy the 'single cabins for nighshift' rule. No bosses to bother you and a lot of work progression questions being answered with "We will need dayshift to decide." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your arm is the body part enjoying it, you're doing it wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just heard that the schedule I worked for 25 of 33 years has just been made illegal due to safety reforms in Air Traffic Control in the U.S. Used to work: Sunday 1600-2400 Monday 1330-2130 Tuesday 0630-1430 Wednesday 0530-1330 and 2230 until Thursday morning at 0630. Worked to give you an effective 3 day weekend+ (Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon), but absolutely aged you, and made you always tired. 10% bonus 1800-0600, and 25% bonus on Sunday. It was just too good with regard to time off to demand a change…but they finally ruled it unallowable after a bunch of scandals with controllers working solo in towers falling asleep overnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Used to do night shift at the creamery in Kilmarnock. f**king loved it. Only issue was not being able to go to Kilmarnock’s premier nightclub “Expo” on the Thursday nights. Would get home about 8.30am, straight to bed, and would sleep through till 6pm every day. Magic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
