Default 3rd Shift

Just finished my first week on third shift at LEC, and it went pretty well, I figured it would be more of an adjustment than was. The biggest problem is I never know what day it is. Anyway got the weekend off and am looking forward to sleeping a little more.

Its hard getting adjusted to working at night. I had to totally black out my bedroom windows so no light could get in and I could sleep pretty good.

Night shifts are the best cause there aint no "big wigs" there for you to have to worry about gawkin over your shoulder when your working

Yea and generally the guys on night shift are laid back and like to have a good time so work goes by alot faster.

I agree, I really thought my first week would be harder but it ain't that bad. Its pretty interesting so for the most part time goes by pretty quick, and it sounds like I will be moved in 2- 3 weeks to something different, and hope to be level 3 within a month or so.
