J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I got a IT Administrator job 2 weeks ago and it's a Night Shift! It's so tiring... I still haven't got used to being a Night Owl yet.... Have any of you ever had a Night Job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I don't have job. But I probably won't mind a night shift because I'm a huge night person. I'm like an owl. Tired and stuff during the day and wide awake in the night. To stay awake, I recommend drinking Monsters, Full Throttle, Red Bull etc. Probably not Full Throttle because that tastes like crap. Then after many Monsters and falling to sleep around 3 or 4 AM on weekends, your sleep schedule will be almost backwards (perfect for a job that requires a night shift me thinks). ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I drink mostly Lucozade & Red Bull. Gives me a High for about a Hour then wears off again! @ Dj-Osiris: Yep Born and Bred in London. You could call me a "Cockney" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I drink mostly Lucozade & Red Bull. Gives me a High for about a Hour then wears off again! Go to Tesco and buy 'Kick', its cheap (about 60/70p) and works better then Red Bull ^_^ Oh good, im a good old Yorkshire guy ;) Born in York, Live in York ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Osiris you know the Energy Drink "Boost"? I tried that today it tastes like Off Red Bull..... Gives a okay Kick though. Good to hear from another British Person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes ive had Boost, i still think Kick is better i got some Red Rooster from Poundland (gotta love that shop), its not bad as well I myself tend not to sleep till around 5am most nights. and wake up at 1pm ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Man Poundland..... I used to buy all my Crisps and Sweets from there! The job has its perks though, At least you don't have to worry about a bustling Office! Plus its a pretty respectable £9 a Hour (Paid Weekly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thats good Pay, i got paid at my last job only 6 quid an hour, but then again, for an 18yr old it aint half bad ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 True. I do weekends sometimes as well. Pay goes up to £13.50. I just want to go home! 8 Hours feels like forever..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I couldnt cope with a night job, it would suck my social life away, and seeing as i love clubbing, going out getting smashed, Dj'ing in various clubs and hanging with friends, sleeping through the precious day and working during the night would be a horrible mix for myself.

J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I used to enjoy playing RPG's and Strategy games but I can't anymore..... I always carry my Trusty DS around with me for a Quick Blast at something like Mario World. I never feel like I have much time for anything anymore....

MasterOfMagicians Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 It depends on what you mean by 'night job'. If you are working second shift, which generally runs from 2 in the afternoon until 10 at night, then you simply adjust your schedule like so:2pm-10pm Work10pm-8am Home from Work/Sleep8am - 2pm Daily Things/Travel to Work If you are working a third shift position, which generally runs from 10pm until about 6am, adjust schedule as so:10pm-6am Work6am-4pm Home from Work/Sleep4pm - 10pm Daily Things/Travel to Work You'll get adjusted quicker this way, it won't be so rough on your body, and you'll get to spend more time with friends and family.

Quicksilver Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Night jobs are the greatest. I work as a Pizza Delivery Boy, and usually don't finish until 11:30 or so. Meaning I still get the day off for everything else. Still, I would like to work by a window on a night shift, at least you'd see the sun rise in the morning.

J-Max Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 By the time I've finished Work and hopped on the bus Home, It's still dark! Just as I lay down to go to sleep the sun comes up. Well i'm back at work again now..... Urgh 8 hours here we come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
