    I'm glad they have CBT Nuggets ... Work isn't as heavy as the days or even the weekday nights. We still get hit sometimes but I can get some good study time in. Other then that it isn't bad for a 2nd job.

    Same here - 7pm to 7am, for the last 2 years. It's quiet enough most nights that I managed to knock out my CCNP last year. I've been slacking a bit since then. I need to get back on board...

    well, seems like there is more night timers on here than I thought.


    I'm going to need you all to research my previous posts, and then post about things I find interesting over night so I can be entertained...


    YOU'RE WELCOME

    I worked a 12 hour night shift during the summer, now I'm working the day shift to make my relationship at home better (girlfriends hate the night shifticon_lol.gif). I'm getting paid less to do 4x the amount of work, man do I miss the night shifts. Now that I'm actually enrolled at WGU, I would be able to graduate in under a year if I was working the night shift...

    my wife wasnt' crazy about me working nights either, but she trusted my judgement

    it has already helped out in numerous situations with picking up/dropping off kids

    another bonus is that it is slower on night shift, and I have found I am able to do more studying at work and in turn spending less time studying at home, so I get more actual family time at home


    12 hour shifts are the best, I dont want to go back to a standard 40 hour week.

    I just got off of graves (12am - 8am). Plenty of study time, but sometimes hard to stay awake. I actually get more study in during swings now, probably because I'm wide awake. I work as an operations tech.

    Just got off of a Friday - Monday 1900-0600 shift doing Service Desk myself. I agree that nothing happens on here during the nights. I am an Operations Analyst Accosicate now... 15:00-23:30 Tuesday - Saturday. Still long nights, except now I have an extra one at the end of the week.
