Wow, bet thats a bugger, days,then straight on to nights, its the getting up on Friday, then trying to get some rest for the night shift. What job do you do mate.
It's a walk in the park really. After finishing at 18:00 you don't start work again untill 18:00 the next day (it really feels as if you have a break). Being naturally nocturnal (did 3 years solid nights), the nights I have no problems with, it's being awake during the day, and the early start after struggeling to sleep at night that hits me hard.
After a few ups and downs on the promotion ladder, I have sucummed to grunt in gatehouse. I now do half the hours I did as a retail crisis manager, with only a £4k wage drop. Been doing it now for 6 years jobs rubbish but the customer is good, and I'm home more than I'm at work (as long as there is no one on holiday).

No. I don't give a jot about booking times, the only restiction I have is shipping won't let me let anyone in until 07:45, or after 16:00 (part timers). But I have a kettle and the firm provide tea, coffee, sugar, and milk, so it's very common to find a group of drivers filling their flasks, or wetting their throats in my gatehouse, whilst they wait.
