So indecisive about work

[8incyclops]

Ok I'll try and keep this short and sweet

I'm currently working at a job I've been in for 11 years it's nothing special I'm earning good $$$ but and the end of last year I swapped my shift from 6:00 am to 3:30 am to........2:30 pm to 11:30 pm.

I thought the change would be good for me I was getting an allowance roughly $100 extra because of the irregular hours BUT!! I hated the shift the people I was working with were kind of dead beats I liked the normal sleep in instead of getting up early but also disliked waiting around to go to work and I was always so tired and cranky being there.

I missed my friends from the early shift and seeing everyone go home when i started made me upset.

I've switched back to the earlier shift now but my mind keeps telling me to go back to the later shift even though I no ill regret it I can work 1 less day a week 4 days and still earn the same as working 5 days because of the penalty allowance.

So any help lads????????

I'm currently single but if I had a women the later shift would male it hard to keep a relationship.

I would rather get up a little earlier and then have the rest of the day to do whatever. I know that when i did those late shifts, I would find that I wasn't near as productive with my spare time.

Thanks yes I was the same I would set my alarm for 9 am but would never get up till 11 or 12 plus when I did get up I would just lay around the lounge room watching telly or sit outside waiting for the time to leave.

yup. you'll have ideas about getting up early and going to the gym.....but that will happen only once maybe twice a week.

You mean... you used to work 6:00am - 3:30pm, and now you work 2:30pm - 11:00pm?

I used to work as a concierge at this boutique hotel. I started with the morning shift (there are 3 since it's open 24/7 obviously).

The fat lazy dudes would come in at 2:30 with their Arby's.

I was out by early afternoon and at the beach picking up women.

Hrm... which one?

No I'm back to doing 6-3:30 I tried the 2:30-11:30 but didn't like it so am back to the original 6-3:30 but I keep telling myself to the later shift I guess I do t like getting up early.

I agree I was turning into a fat lazy slob doing the later shift

Yeah waking up that early does suck. Remember though, the early bird catches the worm. Women are the worm.

BTW, what the fuck are you still doing awake? Early riser!

For what it's worth: the earlier shift is better. As you mentioned, you didn't like the people in the later shift. I find that reason good enough to stick with the earlier shift, even though it's annoying to wake up early.
Good colleagues are mainly a reason work can be alright to do. If it would be possible, I wouldn't work at all, expect for volunteer work and maybe something Penis Enlargement related stuff. Anything where I would choose my hours freely.

Hang in there and keep on going!

This is how I feel also I'm going to stick with it and go to bed at a normal earlier time now in the past I've been guilty if staying up to late it would kill me the next day
