Gimme the night shift  8)
If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many days will it take a grasshopper with a rubber foot to kick a hole in a tin can?

Nights all the way.
To many boss's and freaks on days.
Nights always seem to do most of the big jobs for some reason.
I think to much politicing on days.

Yes, I know I will catch hell for that statement but lets face it and look deep in your heart and you have to say that is true.

Day shift.Come 4 o'clock in the morning I'm trashed. It takes all day of tossing and turning to fall asleep.Seems like I can fall asleep best is when it's time to get up.

The question is "Which would you rather work?"  Not "What what shift did you work last outage?".  ;^) 

Having said that, now that there's family involved, I do dayshift.
But I don't like it. :^)

Gimmee Nights - always. Always seemed like the house supervisors on nights were the ones who either weren't in favor with the politicians on days or were the ones who just had too much common sense.

during 21 years of outages i did dayshift twice. (not by choice) niteshift people (house and roadtechs) seems to treat each other more like family and that's very important when you are away from your real family.  have been in the DOE world now for the past 6 years and if is different.  i really do miss being on the road and all of my house tech friends and family.

actually, it depends on the schedule..  if i have two days (nights) off a week i'll take the dayshift so i can enjoy them...  but when it's all said and done, my first and overriding factor is who the supervisor is i'd be working for...  i'll take a bad work assignment on a lousy shift with a great supervisor long before i'll take the better job assignment, schedule, etc... and a poor supervisor..

Daze. I can't sleep if the sun's up (I even taped cardboard over my windows once-didn't help). That makes working nights a race to see if I get fired first for sleeping on the job or kill myself driving "home" from falling asleep at the wheel. What really astounds me is how few management 'teams' recognize that different people work better on different shifts and ask before they assign.
