I worked 3rds for ages. Everything the meme says is true. But aside from health issues that could potentially popup.... Folks don't understand that it's 4pm and in the middle of your "night"

I had to remove everyone from my permitted list when my phone was on DnD. My mother, for example, would call at 2pm and ask what I was doing.. She never could understand that I was asleep.

I was always the DD for when people wanted to go out.. because "you're awake normally" which is fine. But maybe I want a beer or two at the bar as well.

It's the small things that weigh on you.. and if you're in a relationship... You'll never see your partner except when they are sliding into the bed and you're getting up.

Glad I did it for so long.. but I'd never do it again.

I would do 12 x 12 nights on a mine. Saw some cool shit. Light pillars, and northern lights like you wouldn't believe. A few lynx.

Wouldn't do it again unless you at least tripled my salary. Nightshift gut is awful. feeling like you've got a sandbox in your eyes also sucks. Nothing like changing a tire on a pickup in -50C with no one around... Two nights in a row to support day shift.

This problem is easily solved by following the golden rule

It's not gay when it's in a 3 way?

Do unto others before others do unto you? Lol
