Anyone night shift here? (making a game)

Im on a night schedule, so I sleep during the day and am awake at night. Its really nice I like it a lot.

Reminds me of the time I was a night shift worker at the grocery store unloading trucks lol nice peaceful jam out to some tunes and crush cardboard in the crusher

Maybe not that last part. Im making a blackjack game in Ruby, gonna make it so the dealer can decide to cheat and you can count cards (static deck) with multiple players so its gonna be a fun project lol

Sup?

I had a nightshift job about 20 years ago. It was 4 days a week, 12 hour shifts. 8pm to 8am. It was a 6 month contract position then it was over. I enjoyed it then because everything seemed more peaceful at night. It was a production line building Cisco routers, and I had 2 responsibilities. My first responsibility was to load a machine with microchips. The second responsibility was to get parts from the warehouse so other workers could make repairs to defective routers.

At my current job I recently changed my hours. My shifts are now scheduled for 1pm-9pm (afternoon/evening) shift. But my job doesn’t have guaranteed hours. I deliver packages to peoples houses and businesses that they ordered online. How many hours I work depends on how many packages I have to deliver in a given shift. On average my shifts are 5-7 hours, although they have been shorter or longer on occasion.

Jimmer! Wednesday it is my man, you excited?

@Headspark 12 hour shifts is a lot, but I feel like if it was at night I could do it. Like autopilot you know, at least once you get the job down. I did 10 hours, 10 pm to 8 am three nights a week so just under full time, the ■■■■■■■■. But I got paid ok and liked it

Hows the package job in the afternoon shift going?

wait, who’s working? @anon94176359 are you working? I know @Headspark is.

Sorry daze I am not working. I say night shift to mean up during the night hours. Tbh I probably shouldn’t be saying it as it gives the impression I am working when I am not.

How is the back @Daze ?

Yeah, it was a pretty easy job, most of the time I just sat around surfing the internet, hanging out and drinking coffee. Quite often there were parts they needed that we had to order from a different plant so we couldn’t proceed with production, or systems would break down that couldn’t be fixed in the middle of the night so the day shift did a lot more work than us. There was only 1 manager on the night shift and it was a huge facility so he was too busy to monitor anyone, we never saw him except very occasionally. They also had a second production line building Nokia cellphones but I wasn’t part of that.

I’m really enjoying it. I like it better than the morning shift. I don’t have to set my alarm to get up, I can wake up naturally around 8-9am, have breakfast, shower, relax and watch TV or surf the net for a bit, then go to work. Plus at 1pm in the afternoon there is no rush hour traffic on the way to work.

okay. do you have insomnia? back’s okay, going in tomorrow early, full day.

I don’t think it’s insomnia. More just my natural body clock performs best during the night hours. I think I read some people are naturally night owls

i like the night, best sleep in the world :slight_smile: zzz
