"Night Shift"

Starting working the night shift for Tesco tomorrow, 10pm to 6am in the morning, Thursday to Saturday. Uh oh.

Haven't changed my sleeping habits yet, guess I'll just fall into it somehow. Naturally I won't be around much on SR anymore, not that I am now anyway, but er, yeah.

Anyone had experience doing night shifts? I'm only doing it for the higher wage, determined to make as much money as I can so I can start up a business (want to run a cinema, or a record shop, but I think the cinema is more likely to succeed).. still wondering about animation, but not as a career anymore, just a hobby.

So yeah, moan about your jobs here, might be interesting.

Start small, aim big.

Im trying to get secratarial work through a recruitment firm in Bath. no luck yet though.

I worked for Tesco during the day, and that was hell. I imagine it will be better at night due to dealing with less of the public. You will be bored by the work, lots of shelf stacking and so on, but it'll give you some exercise and the money is better.

I work night shifts, but what I find hard is working two days then two nights, so my body really has no idea what it's up to.

Good Luck with it! A friend of mine works at Tesco on night-shift and he sleeps aalll day. Says it's hard work but he loves it; people are excellent. I bet your body will go through some extreme changes. I'd love to work at night-time. The mind is at the peak of it's perfection!

My job's boring. It's hard to try to make your day interesting when you don't have the tools!

I kind of did it

I did 5-11am at the weekends for Safeway, if you can cope with the sleeping then it's much better.

No customers, no chit-chat and better wages.

Any way to reduce contact with the public should be grasped with both hands. It won't be as busy either, so you might get a skive.

The night shift didn't like me

Don't think I could work nights. I like to work an early shift though instead of 8 - 4, make better time of the afternoon and evening.

I worked nights once - all in black. As the police sirens whooped and whirled, I just escaped in the nick of time.

Working till 11pm is bad enough, but at least I have the internet...
