Whats your Day Job?

Whatever it takes to pay for the fish tanks... :laugh:

I work at night, so I won't drag this topic off subject...

Yeah I guess the OP was too specific about 'day' job, lol. I work rotating shift. Always 6-6, both day and night. It perfectly balances out to 40hrs a week plus we work the exact same amount of nights and days for every day of the week, like this:

Week1: N N N N O O O
Week2: D D D O N N N
Week3: O O O D D D D
Week4: O O O O O O O
Week5: On Call, 32hr minimum
N=Nights, D=Days, O=Off

Its really a neat rotation. There are 5 teams and 5 weeks in the rotation. At any given point of time there is one shift on days, one on nights, one on short break, one on long break, and one on call. No shift gets any preference, everyone works the exact same amount of nights and days, weekends, holidays, etc.

The constant flipping from days/nights really sucks, but the week off is the saving grace (the only one, really). We dont get holidays either, unless of course our day off happens to be on a holiday.

Retail Management. I think my title is Vice President of Operations.

I have many different "duties" and seem to be the one that has to "fix" things. I travel way more than I want to. I do love my job.

LOL, me too, I'm a "Regional Operations Manager" - if its wrong it must be my job to fix it!?!?!?!?

Making a living out of filling shelves ans serving customers

I used to work a 4 week rotation kind of like the one you have with 4 shifts.

It was:

Week 1: N N N N O O O
Week 2: O O O O D D D
Week 3: D O O O N N N
Week 4: O D D D O O O

It took me awhile to remember it, I worked it for about 6 years. It was 4 nights, 7 off, 4 days, 3 off, 6 out of 7 (3 nights, 24 hrs off and 3 days), 3 off and repeat.

The 6 out of 7 was a killer at times. There is no way rotating schedules are healthy.

Early retirement here.:headbang2:Hubby got his 30 years in and got a great retirement so I retired to. It's been 2 years now and lovin it so far. But in the past I spent 20 some odd years in retail and restaurant management.

Yeah, some other companies I deal with have that rotation, I think the main difference is you dont have the on call week (which is what I am on right now), the rest looks the same just shifted a little differently. Yeah, the hell week sucks... nothing gets done around my house that week, no dishes, laundry, etc, and then the 3 days I have off afterwards are just playing catch up. And two of those days I feel like crap from just coming from nights and trying to stay up in the day. Sometimes I cant get turned around, and end up going in on days 6AM after having not slept the night before... and then sitting in a chair for 12 hours... really sux. Healthy? No. But actually the fellow sitting to my left has worked for the company since he was like 18 or 19 as I recall, and he is going to retire in a couple years... shiftwork the entire time.

down side-my parents & grandparents are waiting for me to do something with the psychology degree they paid for :lipssealedsmilie:

I got the same thing with my degree in Culinary Arts. I even paid for it, and STILL they bug me. I don't care though. I work for an airline and love it FAR more then getting slammed in a kitchen.
