Ive been doing rotating shifts for the passed year and let me say my life plummeted to the ground since. My schedule lines up like this:
Work 2 days, 2 days off, 3 night shifts, 2 days off, work 2 days, 3 days off, repeat. except days get flipped to nights. 12 hour shifts.
I left working 2 jobs to do this and I almost wish I had them back. I have no social life anymore because im tired all the time, I have sleeping problems and its just not fulfilling.
People say “well it must be nice working only half the month” It is nice dont get me wrong, but half of my days off are just spent sleeping and trying find the energy to even do laundry for my next stretch of days.
I want something completely different I dont know what. Even just a 9-5 straight days I dont care how crappy the work is. I dont want to do this for the rest of my life.
