[Rant]Night Workers Unite!

[Jesus_marley]

As a person who, with the exception of my last job, worked almost exclusively nights, I feel your pain. I would have to say the worst Daytime experience I had was after working a 9-9 night shift, coming home and getting to bed just in time for the pile driver across the street to start pounding in the supports for the new grocery store that was being built. for 7 hours a day... for 5 weeks in a row.... I swear I started to hallucinate from sleep deprivation.

That's it. I'm calling that charge nurse tonight around 2am to see if she's up yet and to confirm that she's coming to work in the morning. When she gets hostile, I'll be all innocent. "But I'm up. Why aren't you?"

You should do that!!! My mother works the 11PM-7AM shift at McDonalds and she gets annoyed like hell when those damn telemarketers call and wake her up... Not to mention her own sister calling her! And it's annoying for me as well, when I work the early AM shift, some days at 4:30AM! to get woken up over petty BS. Those who don't work stupid schedules like ours just don't understand at all what it's like!

I used to work 11:30pm to 7:30 am and it sucked. My mother and siblings never knew when to call and thus never did. My then 15 month old didn't understand dad's need for sleep. But seeing at how it is 2:15 am and I here at EN World I still have not changed I guess.
