I used to work a graveyard shift from 11pm to 6am. The first wave of morning workers were typically tradies in hi-viz, driving bright white vans. I used to think of them as a glowing army sent to scare off the walking dead clubbers who were still stumbling around.

I work 2300-0700. What is this seven hour shift you speak of?!

I used to work a shift that was 7pm-7am Thursday and Friday, then 11pm-7am Saturday and Sunday. I miss night shift.

When I switched from that job to one that was (IIRC) 7am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, it was a challenging week.

edit: actually I think it was 6am to 4pm. I don't exactly remember how the change went. I just remember developing a dependency on energy drinks and apologizing to my mentor for being sleepy.

It was more like 2230-0630 because of overlapping handover, but that's when I was officially on duty.

They said tradie, if this is to be believed, the drugs have probably already availed them.

Does "graveyard shift" mean night shift or did you work in graveyard?

Someone has to make sure they stay down.

It means overnight shift, usually 10pm to 6am
