    Today and tomorrow.

    I volunteered for it, need the overtime so I can buy a new (used) car.

    I came in at 2:00 PM and will get off at 6:30 AM.

    Then do it again tomorrow!!!!

    Hope I can survive.

    I hate my shift.

    I'm working a split-shift today myself. I'm working my normal route during my normal work hours, and then coming back in at 8pm tonight and doing it all again, only this time building displays. :(

    You can do it....


    I've worked 2 week of 16 hour days... you feel like you just work and sleep, but money is always good.

    Congrats dude! You made it through!

    Having endured many a 24+ shift myself (especially during xmas madness!) you have my sympathies.

    And now, you go and get smashed! :p  It is the law! :D

    Doubles are the uber fun-ness. Came close to doing one tomorrow, but I swear if the person working the morning shift cops out, I'll be pissed because I'll probably have to go in for her.

    I worked 9am-1am for a few weeks couple years ago. Pay was good but it was the least amount of fun I've ever had.
