I just accepted a 12hr night position. How is it working those hours?

eansdad

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.

I am working 12hour nights, 7pm to 7am

bermovick

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...

You're right, this board is quiet overnight... Im on 3rd Shift 10p-8a Central time usually stop in to check on the days posts while on work... I'll update a few but its so quiet there isn't much reason to stick around.

I work 12 hour night shift from 9pm-9am Wed-Fri and every other Sat.

Mike-Mike

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 would love a night shift job, but outside of support positions they are few and far between.

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 shift

). 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...

also writing you from my 12 hrs 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 am a "Network Administrator I"

but I'm more or less a Network monitor.. level one stuff around here, wait for alerts from servers or network devices, gather as much info as possible and send it on to level 2

I'm a Junior Systems Administrator at a webhosting company for Windows and Linux servers.

I work in Cyber security and work do midshift Sat-Mon night working 13.5 shifts. Its great for me as I can do my homework and study for certs.

Psoasman

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.

eansdad

Official title ... Windows Server Engineer ... Reality ... NOC Admin that deals with mostly Linux/Unix issues, go figure.

Yeah wife doesn't like the schedule (Fri/Sat/Sun 9p to 9a and every other Thurs 9p-5a) but she sure doesn't mind spending the raise it got me...lol

About7Narwhal

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.
