12:30-9:00 oclock shift FTW

They will be adding that shift soon at work. I'll try to jump on it, which I'm sure wont be very hard as don't think too many will want it.

This will enable me to get stuff done way faster. That means my control panel, and eventually, more updates for the shard. I'll finish at 9pm, but I'll be able to go to bed late considering I'll be starting at 12:30. I get way more stuff done during the hours past 12:00. I would probably get up at 11:00 so that would mean it lets me go to bed at 3:00am to get my 8 hours, though I'd probably procrastinate and end up staying up till 4.

But being able to stay up that late all week will be simply epic win. It will be like every day is a Friday! SO looking forward to that.

From 5:00 to 9:00 all the phone queues but one customer will be closed. So I just have to take calls from that one customer only.

I worked this shift for a year and a half, and then moved to the 8:00am-4:30pm. When looking at it, the afternoon was better for myself, but the morning one is better for everyone else around me. So i took the sacrifice.

I've got the same opinion as Wolf. I used to work a 5 PM to midnight shift, and I loved it. But it made it a pain in the ass to wake up, get your head clear, and get to the bank to drop off a paycheck in time. Those bastards close way too early.

Not to mention the off occasion where you need to wake up to help someone move or go to court or attend some other function that starts before lunchtime.

I generally work 5pm-4 or 5 am while on a project. Since I have a job where I need to be most creativly active, and I feel more capable of doing that at those times it makes sense. Direct Deposite is ftw for working night shift though. Getting anything done during the "Buisness Day" is damn near impossible.

Yeah that's true, like appointments and stuff can be a pita.

right now I work 7-3:30 which is nice as I finish early so if I need to go somewhere its still open. I can do stuff like go for a haircut instead of waiting for the weekend.

Mind you with the late shift I can still get up earlier and do it before lunch if something needs to get done, though it will make for a long day. I'm hoping we rotate the shift as I don't think I'd want it permanent but it does sound cool to be able to go to bed late all week without having to take vacation time.
