Night Shifts are awesome!

I have started working Night Shifts at work (11pm-7am) and they are awesome! Well i must say it takes a certin type of person to do them. But i honestly can say they are the only shift i LOVE and come home happy from, because i don't have to work with any (other) kids i hate, and think work is a social time, very few customers, and i get to clean that place, it's peaceful and relaxing. People are more happy at 2am than 2pm And truckers are cool peeps to. Sure there's the risk of something happening, but i mean the risk is there no matter what time of the day it is.

Hahaha, not sure if my boss loves me or hates me. all i know is i have to be one of there most dedicated(ahem following guidelines)part time worker (execluding Supervisors/Mangement). But i think i am the only part timer that they would trust to do things on Back Shift, and not just text/sleep/complain about it being slow.

So, question. Does any one else work in the night? I have been told i am crazy. And that 'it well hit me'. Not sure. But i get the after noon's off. I get to go to sleep in the coolest par of the day(during summer), get to see the sun rise, meet really great peeoples.

Ohh by the way i work at the nations fav. coffee shop. (Good ol' Tim Hortans!)

You know, there's a job for every person, and a person for every job. I'm really happy for you that you love the shift you're working - that makes you a rare (call) duck indeed!

I myself am a staunch union girl and love my regular days, mixed in with a few non-regular evenings and weekends and nights away. Just enough variety to keep me interested. I have never done night shift and I'm not sure I'd love it as much as you.

I sure hope it lasts for you and that your supervisors know what a good employee they've got in you. Goodness knows without people willing to work "behind the scenes" and after hours, most businesses would be in big trouble! I hope they appreciate you too.

Cheers!

One the supervisors is a good friend of mine.

The bosses boss, has called me out on some of the good things i do to the owner, same with the, supervisors (both superviors love me for some crazy reason!)

Glad for you, Call Ducks, that you have the shift you love! Not everyone is cut out for night shifts but I know people who work night shifts and love them. One of my good friend's husband worked night shifts at Tim's baking for the next day and he loved it, too. Hope they keep you on that shift. Sounds like you're doing an awesome job!!

That's one thing we don't have to do any more is bake a lot at once. Every thing is baked just before needed even at 2 am.

I allways thought they would be hard, or hard to stay awake. Not at all... It's like the later it is the more energy you get.

I am a bit crazy, but aren't we all? lol
