I did my 10 x 12s around dangerous mining equipment! Don’t worry, I almost got flattened by a 400 t mining truck only once!

    -Day shift:

    Too many people

    Higher expectations

    Absolute slog

    Managers breathing down your neck

    -Night shift:

    Broad discretion and autonomy

    More free time

    Quiet

    No managers

      Exactly. Also everyone’s so fucking uptight on day shifts. On nightswe can have radio banter and when somethings fucked I can conver that as creatively as I want. Theres no meetings on the off shifts, I just get to show up and do my job without bullshitting to management about how I’m doing my job. On off shifts as long as shit gets done noone seems to give a damn about how it gets done.

      You’re forgetting the liquid shits that come with night shift.

        It’s funny you mention that. I’m dealing with the squirts as I write this comment lol. Not sure if it’s the nightshift, the pulled pork I had for dinner, or my second cup of coffee causing this. Probably a bit of all three

        My stomach is gurgling already thinking about 12 hour shifts.
